This damp egg is covered in sharp thorny spikes.
Despite their name, thorny dragons are closer in kin to lizards than dragons, though they are every bit as sharp and prickly as the other half of their name suggests. These lizards live in the sands of the Etain Desert, and even though they have an unwelcoming appearance, are a welcome sight to travelers. This is due to their water magic, which not only allows them to find water in the desert, but draw it up from underground when needed. Many small oases are attributed to the presence of a thorny dragon, and those who stop by them always make sure to leave some sort of offering for the resident thorny dragon as thanks. Since their preferred food, ants, are difficult to offer, travelers often leave coins or other small tokens instead. As a result, despite not having any specific interest in treasure as such, wild thorny dragons may have hoards comparable to small actual dragons.
