This egg smells sweet.
Legends from all over the world speak of a deadly draconic hunter, a pale creature that hunts by sound and smell that can drain an entire village’s inhabitants of blood in one night. In many areas of the world they were driven to near-extinction, warriors and hunters targeting the dangerous animals in the past and vastly reducing their numbers. In turn, the creatures became more frenzied for blood and more dangerous, as the adults that would have taught the hatchlings how to control their appetite were killed off while the hatchlings were still young. Thus the legends grew. For a long time, even the mages of the keep thought it was only a story, until one was discovered a century ago. The first magi to raise one didn’t realize the danger until it was too late, and didn’t connect the sweet-loving hatchling they raised to the legendary blood-drinking beast until it grew into a bloodthirsty dragon that was hard to control. Once discovered, magi set out to catalogue the sangue dracul. The pattern of sangue dracul killing people and people killing the dragons finally stopped once the species was properly studied and it was understood how they feed. When approached without fear and trained to control their appetites, sangue dracul can feed without killing. A sangue dracul must be raised correctly, either by its parents or by a magi companion, to not waste food and not take what isn’t needed. When they are properly trained, they are fiercely loyal companions, especially to those who willingly share their blood.
