A large, black spider-like creature with treebark-like textured hide. Big enough to take down even a large battle steed. Prefers to pin its victim down and then fang it to inject paralytic, dissolving poison fluid. But if it is threatened or confronted with superior numbers, it can vent its poison into an aerosol form that it is immune to. This airborne attack causes organic material to melt, including plant life and flesh. But this leaves it unable to use poison further for at least a day while it refills its poison bladders. Then it can only defend itself in close and is likely to run away, especially up into a large tree and get itself to a sheltered position that is dangerous to reach. Is good at jumping from tree to tree if it needs to, although it tires quickly, maybe can jump 2-3 treetops. Instinct: To feed on the hapless and distracted

• Eat unwary travelers by the roadside.

The Hoarding Dragon, also referred to as the Trash Dragon takes it's kin's attraction to great piles of wealth to unhealthy, obsessive extremes. Where other Dragons will collect hoards of precious metals and jewels, the Hoarder Dragon is not so discerning. It will collect any rubbish, trash, or miscellany it finds. A Trash Dragon's hoard is often made up of worthless items and objects that It has picked up and simply cannot part with. It clings to these things, overstuffing it's lair to the point where it can barely move without causing avalanches of rubbish. Trash Dragons are seen as pitiable, pathetic creatures, but despite the trouble they cause, very few will seek out and kill them. While most of their hoard is worthless junk, there can sometimes be rare magical or valuable items in amongst the dross. Instinct: To hoard trash and mundane items to excess

• When you feel threatened or uneasy, recede into your hoard.
• When your hoard is threatened, make weak arguments as to why you need every single item.
• When they steal something, chase them, and beg for it back
• When they kill you, pass your compulsion to them.
