Lava Dragon Wyrmling | New Fifth Edition Monster (Patreon)

"The swirl of the lava was mesmerizing and I could not look away. It was then that I suddenly realized that it was looking right back at me..." Excerpt from the Journal of Markus Blackthorn, Explorer

A rare subspecies, lava dragons are lazy and reclusive creatures that seldom leave their volcanic homes. Unlike their red-scaled kin with whom they compete for living space, they have little desire for amassing wealth. Like all dragons, they crave power, often using lesser creatures to do their bidding. 

A Heart of Magma. The body of a lava dragon burns with heat so hot that it can ignite anything that gets too close. The trail of a lava dragon is quite distinct; just follow the molten slag it leaves behind.

Child of Fire. Lava Dragon Wyrmlings are never seen outside their homes and are fiercely protected by their parents. Quite often the loss of a child will send the parents into a rage, erupting their homes in their fury.
