Description
" Near the hilly regions in the wetlands live a pack of bolt dragons. Adults usually weigh around 150 kilos and measure to 6-7 meters from head to the tip of the tail, their wingspan is around 5-7 meters. These dragons prefer the solitude the mountains in the area provide them and they rarely venture far from their nests. Because the mountains are a very scarce source of food, they usually go hunt and gather food in the wetlands, a few acid dragon corpses have been found in the wetlands that have claw and bite marks that match those of bolt dragons, which could mean they compete for the same hunting grounds. Due to these dragons being very still most of the time and seeing other creatures in their habitat very rarely they have developed to become extremely territorial and will attack anyone on sight if they are near their nest.

Most of their lives bolt dragons are in hibernation and they only wake up during several different astronomical events, such as aurora borealis, full moon and solar eclipse. Never have they been seen to be active during daytime, so they are quite obviously nocturnal animals. At daytime they are in hibernation and won't exit their cave even if provoked. These caves usually are big cave complexes so they, most of the time, have various escape and ambush routes in them so unwary mercs should be very cautious when entering these caves.

Bolt dragons name derives from the unnatural speed and agility they have. They are able to fly at top speeds of 200 km/h and on the ground they aren't any less agile, being able to run at the speeds of 105 km/h. Since they are so light-weight they have to solely rely on their speed in conflicts with other dragons, large creatures and mercs. Light armor would be the most reasonable choice against these dragons so, if the merc is agile enough, he can dodge the dragons charges, with too heavy armor the merc would be quickly knocked over and he/she would be quickly torn to shreds, believe us, we've tried. Much like acid dragons bolt dragons don't have any scales and the lack of scales is compensated with tough skin. All these similarities with acid dragons have led to many people believe that bolt dragons may be the ancestors of acid dragons and that after the spread of swamps into the habitat of the bolt dragons some of them might have habituated to the swamps thus over time they gained their green color and other abilities.

Despite the mountains where these dragons live being very deserted the forests around these mountains are all but that and they're inhabited by tiny sprites. During nights the forests lit up from the green glow they emit. Despite these sprites looking, what most mercs describe as "pretty", they are known for their tendency to mischief and trickery, luring mercs to all sorts of traps and pitfalls. It is unclear why they do such things, but most likely because they are complete di... for their own amusement."

"Another one of these?" Oooooh yeees! Critique is welcome as usual, since it is most indeedliestly what helps me get better.
