Faerie dragon

A faerie dragon is a mischievous branch of the dragon family tree.

Physical description
Faerie dragons are extremely small in comparison to their large metallic dragon, or chromatic dragon cousins, only about one to two feet long. They have iridescent scales that reflect all colors of the rainbow. They have platinum colored butterfly-like wings and a long, prehensile tail.

Combat
A faerie dragon prefers to deal with enemies from a distance. They use their magical abilities to confuse and bewilder foes. They rarely fight alone and often call upon allies in a fight. They will enter melee only if seriously pressed. Some faerie dragons have the ability to shift in and out of existence to avoid danger though this ability is not always successful, and the dragon still suffers harm.

Like all dragons they have the tendancy to be pranksters, although they take it to a whole new level. They are often referred to as the pranksters of the wild.

Breath weapon
The faerie dragon's breath weapon is a cone of euphoria gas.

Lair
They normally travel in groups and have been seen with faeries, pixies, and sprites. Faerie Dragons build their lairs out of spider silk, dry grass and leaves, and twigs and small sticks within the branches of the trees or make their lairs out of the hollows of the trees

Diet
They will eat mostly small bugs that they can catch in the air, within the trees and bushes, and on the ground, and they also feed on berries and nectar.
