Recropolith (Creature)

Description

A Dracon that creates clouds near itself by super-heating water stored in it's skin, and then when light reflects through it's crystal-like scales, shines rainbow colored light on these clouds. This is known to be a territorial display to let other creatures know that it is near. it's head is very piranha-like in appearance, though attached to a long, ridged neck. It has a long, powerful, tail with three bladed tail-fins. It's belly has two long blade-like ridges running down it used for cutting prey mid-flight.

Tactics

The Recropolith can fire an explosive beam of light from it's mouth. Adult Recropolith have adapted the ability to fire this beam at their own circular, mirror-like wings as a means of hitting targets behind themselves in rapid succession, usually catching other predators off guard.

Notes:

It's name comes from the latin word Recro; meaning revival, and lith; meaning stone. This is due to the crystaline nature of it's skin and how it can make something new and more powerful (lazers), from something old (water and sunlight).
