Nigel
As he approaches his 2,000th birthday, Nigel has grown remarkable knowledgeable over his many long years. He decided at an early age that unlike other Dragons, instead of hoarding useless treasure, that he would collect books. Throughout the centuries he has amassed the largest library in the known world. The collection has become an obsession; he travels the world searching for rare volumes to add to his library.
Though a bit haughty at times, he is generally a kindly beast, but is not above devouring the occasional annoying villager. This unfortunate habit has required him to relocate his library with some urgency when the local constabulary arrives with swords and torches and a less than subtle request to move along.
Below is an except from The Henchwoods guide on Nigel’s particular breed;
The Emerald forest Twin Tail is an extremely rare breed, made all the rarer due to King Theodor's unfortunate dragon extermination declaration. If you spot one count yourself privileged to be one of the very few to ever see such a majestic beast and survived, as they tend to eat anything that moves.
The Twin Tail are exceptionally intelligent, I mean genius. Most dragons horde gold, Twin Tails hoard books. I suggest you don’t ever try to outwit one; you will only end up embarrassing yourself and be eaten, messily. In fact one of their favorite meals is embarrassed dragon spotters.
They can live for centuries, making them some of the oldest living creatures in all of Udenland. Many surviving Twin Tails even lived during the rule of the malevolent Druids, and played crucial roles in their downfall.
If you should ever find yourself honored to befriend a Twin Tail, and as inconceivable as this may seem, it does occasionally happen, you will discover that they are remarkably loyal and will always be prepared to defend you in any circumstance.
