The Zomok, the Dragon of the field
The Zomok is a smaller dragon with adults not much larger then a cougor or a bear, much less intelegent then other dragons they live as large woodland preditors typicly hunting, deer and other game for food. However as they get older they find that it is much easier to raid farms for livestock, especially during times of scarcity. They rarely attack humans in these raids not because of any kindess to them but becuase they know that if they ever killed a human the others would gang up to kill them. Even so taking farmers livestock is risky and younger dragons will often be killed by knights trying to make a name for themselves or by farmers tired of loosing their livestock to the dragon. It is also quite common for hunters to take the Zomok as a trophy, to keep or sell, many small town inns and taverns have a stuffed Zomok. Despite the dangers the Zomok flurishes, partly because they require so little food compared to the other large preditors of the woods, their ability to digest and utilize all the nutriants in an animal is nothing short of extrodinary, so it takes very little territory to sustain them, and they can remain hidden for a three months or more before needing to eat again. For this reason farmers who believe that they have one Zomok attacking their farms may in fact have dozens hidden throughout the country side. Zomoks tend to layer in thickets or in caves they have dug, on rare occations they will live in abandoned barns or root cellers. The latter case can present a dangerous situation for local children who might find their way into a nest while exploring old buildings. A pair of Zomoks can have 10-14 children at a time, staying together to raise their young seperating as the young dragons reach a juvinal age, leaving the young to their own divices. Normally these Zomok stay together until Adulthood. Becuase of their inexperiance with humans and their lack of intelegince these dragons will often attack more often then they should, live closer to cities then is safe, and will often attack lone humans especially early in the morning when very few people are awake. This clutch can often become very dangerious to a village however they do not usually live very long as larger preditors of the woods, including other dragons begin to feed on them, and the humans rise up and kill them. It normally does not take long for the zomoks to fear humans, as they will often grow more leary as the first of their clutch is killed by humans. Field Dragon ( Zomok )
The scales of a wyrmling white dragon glisten like mirrors. As the dragon ages, the sheen disappears, and by very old age, scales of pale blue and light gray are mixed in with the white.
CombatA zomok normally avoids combat, however the young or sometimes the insane or desperate will enter it willingly. When they do they tend to attack quickly and boldly repeatedly using their breath weapon swooping upon their prey attempting to crush them in their claws. Breath Weapon (Su)The Zomoks Breath weapon is an acidic fire. Icewalking (Ex)This ability works like the spider climb spell, but the surfaces the dragon climbs must be icy. It is always in effect.
