Citadel Sunmoth Dragon | Moth-Wing Dragon Adoptable

The story of Citadel Sunmoth Dragon

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The wing markings stay clear against the pale membranes, and their reddish outlines repeat in the tail. The dragon has four feet set along the parapet. Behind it, the repeating arches cross the low country and lead toward a hill with buildings visible at the edge of the fields.

Sunmoth dragons perch with their backs to the warmth on cool mornings. Once the air rises over the aqueduct, the wings lift and the eyespots become visible from the field below. The dragon waits for the first steady breeze before leaving its narrow footing above the arches.

Field workers use the aqueduct as a landmark on the way into town. When they see a sunmoth standing over the middle arch, they know the wind is likely to reach the open fields before the sheltered lanes. By the time the wheat begins to move, the dragon has usually flown beyond the hill.

The cream wings, bold eyespots and gold body give the design a recognizable outline from the ground. The wide composition suits a fantasy landscape where the creature’s morning routine is part of the local scenery.
