Yeah. That one.
Anywho, he stared at me from my desk, looking all sad and pathetic, for SO long that I had to break down and finish him.
And I did ^^
Introducing...
Wormwood Greenback, Absinthe greenback
Draconis absinthium
The Wormwood Greenback is native to Eurasia. It derives its name from its preferred habitat: this species is typically found inhabiting fields of Artemisia absinthium - particularily those plants being cultivated for use in procuring the Absinthe spirit. This dragon's habitat, combined with its tendency to be seen alongside a green faerie and body spines capable of injecting a hallucinogenic poison, have also earned it the common name "Absinthe Greenback".
Unique to the Greenback are large, paddle-like feet adapted to climbing the delicate stems of the wormwood plant. It relies heavily on a long, prehensile tail to aid in climbing. Compared to other dragon species, D. absinthium has very underdeveloped wings and cannot fly long distances; its wings are primarily used as camouflage and for gliding between plants.
D. absinthium is one of the few truly omnivorous dragon species, relying on a diet of insects as well as the nectar of A. absinthium, which has led to the introduction of these dragons as a form of natural pest control by well-meaning farmers of this crop; unfortunately, this has resulted in an invasion of D. absinthium in non-native areas.
Dragonlets are a silvery grey and may sport a fine, downy hair. Adult males sport darker, richer colours than females, and the dominant male in an area will sport a violently golden belly.
While these dragons are not unfriendly, they are considered an undesirable pest.
