Zipper-Mouth Dragons

Postby Gigimon » Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:03 am

Zipper-Mouth Dragons (ZMD's)- A wyvern-like species whose mouth is seemingly designed much like a zipper which shuts it mouth closed tight when these beast dive bomb waters to snatch fish, when their mouths tear open with a loud ZIP noise. ZMD's tend to eat whatevers in their reach, but mostly will eat fish and slurp up clams. These dragons tend to live on oceanside cliffs where they make their nests, or in the warms sand of the beach where they make burrows. Do not underestimate these dragons just because they eat seafood doesnt mean they wont turn on you and try to eat you, they are omnivores and will eat anything. 'Fear the female, Pet the male' Males tend to be more docile then females, Females are more territorial. Male ZMD's tend to produce steam from their nostrils and be duller colors, females are more brighter colors and puff ash rather then steam. Just because these guy eat seafood doesnt mean they cannot produce a flame, these beasts can produce a flame enough to melt a boat slightly to sink it, their flames are brightly colors from neons colors to rainbow. These guys have 8 eyes, 2 are frontal which watch the front, and the other two back, which watch the beasts back, which allow the beast to mosey about without any fear of being attacked. ZMD's can swim underwater for hours before breaching for air, their chest are large and have big sets of lungs, they are better swimmers then flyers, they use this odd tail which they thrusts up and down like a dolphin to get by in the water. Their unique set of spines alongside their back are squishy and soft when wet, but harden when dry. ZMD's have a unique mouth in which their lower jaws have no teeth, but their upper jaws do, they tend to swallow fish whole and only use the teeth to snatch up prey.

Diet- Omnivore

Breeding- Females fight over males. Female ram their horns with other females and bite at one another. Color palletes are switched, females become dull colors while males become brightly colored. Eggs are laid deep in warm sands and are left there, however not unattended, Males become violent during the times of egg lay and will stalk the nests if something approaches the male chase it off. Male also will attack other nests to have a better chance of their eggs surviving.
