Sea Drake of Rasay
🕑 Added 2023-02-17 07:24:01 +0000 UTC"This is a species of dragon that lives on the islands at south of the Gulf of Rasay, it hunts mainly at sea, although it has been seen as far north as Brasswood Forest and sailors said they have seen them hunting thousands of miles out to sea.
They are solitary in habit, but in seasons when prey is scarce they can gather in small groups to increase their hunting success. It is very fast and silent in flight. They mainly hunt prey that comes to the surface.
In the rainy season all the dragons gather on the main island of the archipelago and lay their eggs there.
When a ship gets too close to the islands, they attack them in a group and even if the ship changes course or retreats they chase them until they sink. This behavior has caused legends to be told among sailors of a treasure abandoned by a pirate witcher who left the dragons bewitched to take care of the island until he can return reincarnated as the captain of the largest ship ever built, which is why the island remains without being stepped on by anyone.
In all the taverns near Rasay there is an announcement of an famous collector (who pays a huge amount of money enough for a non-noble to live without worries for the rest of his life) to own an egg not hatched from this species of dragon, this makes more and more adventurers dare to go to that island, but so far no group has been able to get the loot.
If a ship is lucky enough to get close to the island without being sunk first, but is wrecked on its shores and its crew manages to swim to the island, they will quickly realize that they would have been better off drowning or burning because as soon as they step on the coast are chased by the voracious hatchlings that still cannot fly far from the island and need some prey to learn to hunt by playing with their food.
To attack the ships, it uses its long tail to cut the ropes and sails, rendering the ship useless. When the ship can no longer navigate, they spit fire at them and fly around waiting for the sailors to jump into the sea, becoming the perfect prey floating on the surface of their sea"
