Copper Fircrest Dragon | Redwood Forest Adoptable

The story of Copper Fircrest Dragon

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

Warm light shows the orange tones in the scales. The green spines pick up the colors of the ferns below, while the tall tree trunks fall away into a darker background. The long tail and low stance fit the shape of a creature that can pass easily between exposed roots.

Fircrests spend the hottest part of the day in the hollow spaces under trees. They come out when the light reaches the ferns, following shaded paths that hold moisture long after the forest floor dries. The paths can be hard to spot unless someone watches which fronds move as the dragon goes by.

A resting dragon often keeps its head high enough to look over the nearest root. The spines lie almost flat until it turns. When the creature crosses a sunbeam, the copper scales briefly give away its position, and a person walking slowly might see the entire body before it slips into shade.

The low body, leafy crest and striped throat make this design recognizable without wings. The redwood setting gives the scene a sense of scale and leaves room for a quiet encounter at ground level.
