Description
Average size: 14" at shoulder, 27" from nose to tail
Diet: nectar, fruit and vegetable juices
Variation: high; Colors, size and diets vary greatly by location
Flight: about as well as a chicken

With their equine head, dainty features and bright colors, these cat-sized dragons, sometimes called "butterfly" dragons for their color and love of flowers, are widely considered to be one of the more beautiful dragon species. Due to their small size, bright colors, easy temperament, minimal flight capabilities, and vegan diet, they are quite common and popular as pets, and are easy keepers for anyone with a high-walled garden. For those without a yard or who cant grow the dragons preferred flowers, they can be trained to live indoors on a diet of sugar water and fruit or vegetable juice. They can leap quite high, and will use their wings to glide from flower patch to flower patch. Wings are also used to deter predators and attract mates. They quite enjoy hummingbird feeders.

Avid breeders have caught and bred them to get brighter or more intericate patterns, easier diets (for some of the more exotic ones), and other desirable traits.

Boring technical stuff, medium: colored pencil and ink, patterns and color scheme are VERY loosely based off the [link] white peacock butterfly of the western US
