The Nightlurker is a rare, nocturnal dragon which lives in dark forests. They make their nest in shallow caves, their eggs are coated in their slime spit as protection, as the slime smells and tastes rather abhorrent, the eggs will hatch in 36 days. The adults primarily prey on large mammals and other dragons, while the larvae hunt down and feed on other dragon larvae, their true limbs being adapted for grasping their soft flesh. They can spit globs of foul slime that is mainly used to blind or gum up the wings of other dragons, though is also used in nestbuilding. The voice of this dragon is hissing and feels as if the dragon is speaking into one's ears, no matter where the dragon actually is.
Drawn in 2024 (will add alt text soon)
The concept for this dragon originated from a sketch I drew in 2018, the same sketch that resulted in the Cavecreep as well. I originally gave them acid spit, but I changed it to slime after I imagined them making a nest out of it.
