The Jungle Dragon shows how dragon species can adapt to their surroundings. Its scales resemble leaves and its powerful legs look like tree trunks, while its long horns appear like scraggly branches. The creature is perfectly camouflaged for its home.
History
The Jungle Dragon almost certainly is an adaptation of the widespread and well-known Forest Dragon. Because the Forest Dragon is winged, it’s thought that a wayward flier found its way into the tropics and decided to make a new home. Over time, with its wings more a hindrance in the dense jungle, the dragon may have slowly adapted, losing the wings while gaining the darker colors that make it practically invisible in a rain forest. As many of the world’s jungles are largely unexplored, numbers for Jungle Dragons are unknown.
