Terrortooth
Not to be confused with the quite similar Terrorfang.
There is one dragon so dangerous that none have faced it and survived.
This is a dragon so stealthy that none ever see or hear it coming.
This is a dragon that has caused extinctions of other species.
This is a dragon that not even a Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus, or even an Exterminator or Murderous Dragon, would challenge.
That dragon is the Terrortooth.
Description
Edit
The Terrortooth reaches a length of about 10 feet (3 meters), which is surprising considering the lethality of the creature. Its weight is unknown. It has a shape similar to a lizard, but the huge wings prove otherwise.
It possesses four types of unique venom, each kills differently and is injected through a different part of the body:
- "King's Poison" comes from a bite and releases a powerful mix of neurotoxins into the body that will kill within an hour.
- "Speedo" comes from a scratch. What kills you is unknown but it kills you instantly.
- "Fire and Flame" is injected through spurs on the back feet. If you get this, your insides slowly burn up.
- And by far the most feared is "The Reaper's Sting." It comes from a barb at the end of the tail, and prevents you from sleeping for 18 months until you finally die.
- If it decides not to use venom, it can also breathe huge balls of fire and spit acid from 50 feet.
This potency is shown in the Terrortooth's bright and colorful patterns. The dragon, although preferring forests, can live anywhere and still silently strike. These creatures can also extend a red to orange throat fan in the breeding season.
Nothing has been known to kill a Terrortooth, except another Terrortooth. The dragons can even normally escape natural disasters. They can also live for up to 100 years.
It is made even more dangerous from its inherent viciousness towards other living things (killing even the largest dragons and the Exterminators easily)...and the fact that it hunts in large packs.
Its only known weakness is that potatoes are fatal to it. Nobody knows why, but it is possible the toxins (harmless to humans) found in the plant are able to penetrate the nervous system of the dragon. These toxins are also found in some other plants, and so may be the key to vanquishing this beast.
Diet
Edit
This dragon feeds on one thing and nothing else: meat, and preferably humans. They lie in wait in the canopy of trees, and then jump down at the victim(s) and rip it to pieces. If they feel like it they will usually just bite or sting the prey and only wait for it to die. What makes the Terrortooth even more terrifying is that it will kill entire tribes...just for fun.
Production Notes
Edit
I consulted many sources for this dragon (platypus, coleus plants, black mamba, fatal familial insomnia, etc.) but the main idea was from...
Drumroll...
The green anole. Yep, that one. Here's why: those things are vicious little terrorists, don't believe the pet shops. Believe me, I've had two of them.
I've gotten so many ideas from this dragon that it has now colonized other wikis (albeit with minor changes).
