Meet Vytra’s smallest type of dragon – the Vineclinger.
Wings and all, it’s no bigger than two full hands (that’s about 6 X 5 “ in
American measurements), and it lives mainly off bugs. Most vineyards in Vytra
thrive with a Vineclinger or two in them – but on my journeys through Vytra it
took me quite a while to locate one of these little creatures – since they are
surprisingly evasive. The Vineclinger hangs on the backs of grape bunches and
waits for the unsuspecting insect to drift too near – then releases a small
blast of fire, toasting their prey and instant before their long, sticky tongue
darts out and stanches it from the air.
I should probably not that Vineclingers are extremely
stubborn, and if a bug manages to escape the fire cloud, the dragon will immediately
break cover in pursuit of the insect.
I would not recommend strolling through a Vytran vineyard on
a buggy day, as you may find yourself the accidental victim of a tiny puff of
flame – one that was meant for a bug buzzing about your head.
