By Yanied Book dragons are curious constructs given highly intelligent minds and used to guard libraries and other keeps of valuable tomes. While made to look like strange dragons composed of books and folded pages, they are in fact constructs. Book dragons are able to speak and often can be like guides as well as guards in a library. Like swarms of books, book dragons will flock together to attack when their keep is threatened. Book dragons like to talk a lot about the subjects in their own pages. So, for example, a book dragon with books on geometry would babble nonstop about Euclidean concepts and theorems. Variant: Tiny Book Dragon There are book dragons made small enough that they are about the size of your passport booklet. These are highly coveted creatures and can serve as familiars. Such book dragons are instead have the following traits: False Appearance. While the dragon remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a pile of books and papers. Familiar. The dragon can serve another creature as a familiar, forming a magic, telepathic bond with that willing companion. While the two are bonded, the companion can sense what the dragon senses as long as they are within 1 mile of each other. While the dragon is within 10 feet of its companion, the companion shares the dragon's Magic Resistance trait. At any time and for any reason, the dragon can end its service as a familiar, ending the telepathic bond.
