Larkspur Dragon

Despite their deceptively delicate features, larkspur dragons have strong natural defenses. They mature at 50 and can live to around 400 years old. Larkspur dragons can eventually grow be up to 20 feet in length and 10 feet tall, weighing about 200 pounds. Their petals are thin and come in deep shades of indigo, purple, and pink. They can fly short distances but are most comfortable on the ground. They are bipedal, with large claws for traction, and lithe, agile bodies built for running long distances at great speeds. Thanks to their long necks and sharp beaks, larkspur dragons can attack enemies from outside their range of retaliation. Instead of flight, larkspurs more frequently splay their wing-petals to make themselves look larger and more intimidating.

All larkspur dragons are poisonous, and their petals are toxic to the touch. The petals conceal a potent threat: the seeds nestled within contain the highest concentration of poison on any part of the dragon's body. Creatures that consume the seeds die within hours of eating them.
