Crawling Claymore
Dracoparvulus gladius or the Claymore Dragon is a unique species of pseudo-dragon that lived in the western rainforest. They can grow up to 2 meters long and have a unique razor-sharp tail. Besides their ability to produce neuro-toxin that they use to laces their tail with, this creature has an incredibly hard scales and a sturdy body. When they’re threatened they can either try to attack with their tail or harden their body. When they do harden their body, not even an adult dragon bite can pierce through their scale. For an unknown reason, They form a mutual relationship with the Arquca tribe for thousands of years. The tribe’s warrior form a bond with a Claymore Dragon and the dragon will let their partner wield it as a weapon. Not only it has a deadly neuro-toxin laced blade, but when needed, the tail can suddenly bend and twist unexpectedly, making it harder to predict the attack.
