Appearance

Tadgh is a gangly dragon, regularly seen hunched down. The 'fur' on its body are very soft feathers, simular to down feathers. standing 6 feet at the shoulders, he tends to tower over most humans that come near. It's face is free of feathers, only having softer, skin like scales covering it, alongside the majority of it's underside. His wings are small and flightless, though has regular flight feathers on it, (he can glide very poorly). Both his teeth, claws, and horns are made with the same organic material that seems pearlecent in certain lighting conditions. His tail drags on the ground regularly, making the 'fur' look gross and unkempt.

Design Notes

Feathers can be stylized with fur or feathers, it's up to you!

Teeth are more straight than 'fangs', (Think of the goliath tigerfish or piranha), though he does have two top fangs that stick out of his mouth.

Can walk like a human (though doesn't like to) and both front paws have thumbs and can be used as human hands.

Personality

Generally, Tadgh doesn't talk much, and given its situation, doesn't really see many people. Before the curse, he was very bold and driven, (mostly by some variety of greed), and worked hard to get where he was. He is very vigilant, aware of every movement in the cave system he currently resides in, making sure no one and nothing enters. Curiosity drives him out of the cave every night, mostly to see whats going on in the human world, hundreds of years after he first entered the system. However, to those who do know it, he's seen as very abrasive and hard to speak to, mostly due to his additude and view of the world, and tends to be very unreliable with tasks. Alone, he tends to be very self destructive, his mind being his own worst enemy. Tends to rile himself up often.

Likes: Jewlery + Precious metals, darkness, downpours, wine + fruits

Dislikes: Neon lighting, sunny days, humans, small animals

Lore

A good few hundred years ago, there was a long running rumour about a cave full of jewels and riches, rumoured to be placed there by a long lost king. Tadgh was a well known adventurer, and had a good track record for getting treasure and other needed items. He left for his trek with one helper, a cartographer. The two rarely spoke, but eventually came up to the cave. Tadgh went in first, leaving his adventure partner behind to watch the hole under the pretense of 'checking if it was safe'. In short time, he found the massive cavern, nearly filled to the brim with treasure, and he quickly slipped down the pile of gold, planting his boots flatly on the ground. And soon enough, he was turned into the massive dragon still seen today. The treasure was cursed in some way, turning him into its keeper and tasked to protect the treasure for years to come.

In the current day, Tadgh still lives in the massive cave, with a huge, sprawling city grew above him as the years passed. Only a few people have come across the cave, and all never returned, but it was generally left alone for many years. Once the city was finished, it can be seen crawling out of a sewer grate to wander and check out the city above. Very good at camouflage, and will steal food whenever possible.

Trivia

Due to being trapped in the cave, his eyes are very sensitive to light.

It does still retain some of his human memories, but they're more like dreams than memories. It's hard to explain

Flightless! The wings are far too small for him to use outside of using them to emote. Can barely glide but only from high points.

Can eat 'inedible' items (coins and such) for fun. It doesn't hurt him it's ok

The city grew above him for decades, and now he has to crawl through the sewer system to get onto the streets above. Makes him smell funky

The 'fur' on his body are feathers! Think of down feather-esque in texture, wings have flight feathers.
