Arkanoth

Return to previous page.

The Arkanoth is an elongate, four-limbed dragon which bears two long horns and a set of narrow wings. They do not breathe fire, instead they spit a clear, watery substance which becomes incredibly viscous as soon as it hits a solid surface. This substance, dubbed "burnwater" will burn those it makes contact with and is extremely difficult to remove without spreading it further, though it dissolves quickly in water. Arkanoth feed upon fish, snakes, and amphibians, their backwards-facing teeth make escape for their slippery prey very difficult. They are rather docile and are unlikely to attack unless harrassed or if one perceives its nest to be in danger, they are protective parents and are known to throw potential threats to their eggs and nestlings off of cliffs. When nesting, these dragons live on the high mountains found on the central Haluran islands, returning to the temperate forests of the far southern Haluran islands once their young have matured. Their eggs are long. thin, and are often buried beneath the uprooted bushes which are collected by their parents to both hide the eggs, and to protect them from the elements.

Notes

The Arkanoth, alongside the Esserath, originated from a dream I had in 2017.
