Fang dragon

A fang dragon is a greedy, rapacious, and cunning creature.

Appearance
Fang dragons are poor flyers, with small muscled wings. Their eyes tend to be either red or orange. Their heads are edged with spikes or horns. Their bodies tend to be covered in boney plates that end in spurs at the joints, and their tails are forked with scythe-like tips.

Ecology
These dragons are also susceptible to bouts of seemingly random outbursts of rage and violence. They can typically speak a small handful of languages, and they use this ability in order to negotiate their way out of situations that could result in difficult or even deadly battles.

They will seal up their lairs with boulders or other materials before leaving them, usually in the hunt for food, which they prefer to find far from their homes. Their diet consists of flesh, of which they prefer that of intelligent animals.

History
Fang dragons were first encountered in the ruins of Myth Drannor, which has led to speculation that they were connected to the demonic inhabitants that now reside there after its fall. They can also be found, as of 1372 DR, in the Starwood in Cormanthor, the Border Forest, Spiderhaunt Woods, and other forest areas of the Dalelands, the Moonsea and Sembia.

Combat
Fang dragons are masters of physical combat, and every part of their body is lethal. They have a tendency to play with their food in a cruel way.
