Water Lily Dragon

Typical water lily dragons grow to be around 15 feet long. They can live to be up to 200 years old. Their scales are soft and green, and the older the dragon, the deeper the shade of green grows. These scales are covered with a waxy sheen similar to the leaves of its namesake plant. Water lily dragons flowers most commonly come in pink but can also be yellow, red, light orange, or white. They have long snouts to part the water and cut through weeds and debris in their path as they swim with their powerful flippers. These large, flat forelegs allow the dragons to propel themselves through the water, while they use their hind legs and tail to direct their motion.

Though water lily dragons can swim for long periods of time while submerged, they can only breathe when their nostrils are above the water. Water lily dragons in shallower environments sometimes bask in the sun with their jaws open so that birds can clean their teeth.
