Hobblegrunts are large dragons, actually considered some of the most sociable of all dragons. They have the ability to change skin color according to mood, like a chameleon. For example, they become yellow when happy and red when angry. Generally, however, they appear in shades of purple.
These dragons are bipedal, but they have two small forelimbs with long claws. They have long, but surprisingly strong, thin necks. Their heads are large, with a big jaw that has an underbite, showing their many teeth. They have a small nose horn, in the front of their heads with their eyes just behind the horn. At the back of the skulls, they have a massive fin that acts like a giant radar. They can move this fin to better perceive their environment. Down their back, they have short spikes. Their bodies are long, but their large tails help them balance whilst on land. The tail ends in a fin that helps for stabilization during flight. It has clawed wings, small arms and big legs. Its tail has frilled edges.
History
The dragons were discovered quickly after their arrival in the world, and easily established themselves as an intelligent dragon. They are assumed to have similar origins to essentially any other dragon.
Society
These dragons are sociable enough that in the rare chance they are separated from others of their species, they can be easily taken in by other races.
Hobblegrunt Names
The dragons are normally named after aspects of their lives either before or after they join humans, due to this the names are typically asexual.
