Magnolia Dragon

Large Dragon, Typically Neutral Good

FGFD

The magnolia dragon is one of the longest-lived and hardiest floral dragons. They mature around 150 years old and can live to be over 1,000. Magnolia dragons can grow to be up to 14 feet long and 8 feet tall, weighing around 400 pounds. Their robust petals grow in shades white, cream, and pink. These provide superb protection against predators. Magnolia dragons' large, bulbous tails bear fruit, which fall off and are eaten by other herbivores.

Though the largest petals on the dragons' back form wings that enable them to fly short distances, magnolias prefer to remain on the ground. If one must take to the sky, it attempts to use its size and weight to knock foes out of the air.
