Spoiler! :
Name: Knoutlithe (slender whip)
Class: Assault (Defensive)
Diet: Omnivore
Domestication Status: Common
Knoutlithe is characterized by it's slender figure and whip-like tail. In the wild it uses it's tail to scare off potential predators and stun it's pray. Tamed Knoutlithes' riders sit between the shoulders and neck and use the two long antennae to help steer the dragon, making Knoutlithe one of the easiest dragons to fly. When a Knoutlithe bonds with a tamer, the tamer takes on a slender and more lightweight figure to suit the dragon. Knoutlithe's scales range from brown to dark blue in color.
Habitat
Knoutlithes live in grassy areas that are abundant in trees and wildlife. They prefer moderate temperatures year-round, but can endure extreme heat with a reasonable supply of water and food. With this said, they usually live around areas populated by humans, which leads to the high rates of domestication.
Behavior
Knoutlithe is a fast and agile flyer, and can reach speeds of about 210 miles per hour in short bursts. They have adequate eyesight and a good sense of smell. It is not territorial, but if it feels it is being pushed out of its land, it will confront the intruder.
Social
Knoutlithes travel in groups usually consisting of 5-11 members, with about 3 males. Both males and females help raise the young, and protect them with their lives. Knoutlithes are very intelligent and have an entire language of their own, consisting of a wide arrange of clicks, roars, and growls.
Taming
Knoutlithes are one of the most widely tamed dragons in the land due to their relatively small size (for dragons, that is) and non-aggressive behavior. Still, taming is forbidden during mating season due to aggressive males and females with offspring. Due to their high level of intelligence, they sometimes amuse themselves and often "play" with their potential tamers by ducking and hiding, then fake-pouncing before the tamer, which can cause quite a scare. Due to these "games", sometimes it is hard to tell who is supposed to be taming who...
Knoutlithes are used to heard livestock and other dragons. Their whip-like tails are especially useful in rounding up stray animals and in combat with wild dragons.
Relatively Harmless Unless Provoked or Around Young
This drawing took me about 1 1/2 weeks, the scales taking up most of that time.
