Jade Vine Dragon
Tiny Dragon, UnalignedJade vine dragons range from 2 to 10 inches long and live for around 40 years. A jade vine dragon's ears contain complex inner structures that allow them to use echolocation. They also have forked tongues, which help them navigate through touch and smell. Despite their size, jade vine dragons can fly long distances with their bat-like wings, which also function as their forelimbs. They excellent climbers and are often found hanging upside down among clusters of true jade vine plants.
Vibrant spiked teal flowers grow in a row down the dragon's spine and all over its bulbous tail. In addition to flowers, jade vine dragons occasionally produce large seed pods containing dark, bean-like eggs. These weigh the dragons down as they grow on their backs, making the parent particularly vulnerable. If planted, the eggs inside hatch into jade vine wyrmlings that take around 2 years to mature.
