Name: “Pocket Drake,” advertised as “Happy Pocket Friend,” and scientifically known as Irisa Miasmus Description: A small draconic-looking lizard that is about the size of a pencil. It has wide wings that appear to mimic that of a butterfly’s, though are scaled, and can fly with them. A Pocket Drake will change color throughout its lifespan. While they are born a pale green, the initial intake of blood causes them to become a bright shade of crimson, which then fades into a pink-purple, and then, finally, a dull blue. Many decorative frills extend from the Pocket Drake’s body, and a prehensile tail grows from the creature’s backside, and can be used to hang from a branch or finger in the same way as an opossum. Behavior: Pocket Drakes are kept as pets and therapy animals due to their easiness to take care of, and their capabilities of producing a pacifying neurotoxin. When a Pocket Drake has found a host and has bonded with it, the host will be its new home. It has a friendly disposition to sapients and acts as a friend and loyal companion. While it’ll be not so agreeable to other individuals than its host, it will rub up against its host and knead at their body, almost like a cat, in order to show affection. Tamability: Due to breeding, the Pocket Drake has become very docile. It will bond almost immediately to whatever’s blood it drinks first and from there will follow them around like their mother, even latching onto their skin and living in the host’s clothes. Pocket Drakes aren’t picky and will latch on to about anybody, but if you wanted one as a pet, you're going to have to have it bond with you before drinking anyone else’s blood. Where is it found?: A Pocket Drake Owner will usually have their Pocket Drake on them, if they own it, due to the addictive property of their hallucinogenic neurotoxin. Pocket Drakes cannot be found in the wild, so if it isn’t latched onto its owner, it’ll most likely be in a terrarium. Rarity: Pocket Drakes are extinct in the wild, but most pet stores will sell them. They aren’t commonly found in cities because, mysteriously, owners aren’t very keen on letting their Pocket Drakes go due to their addictive miasmic properties. Diet/Method of gaining nutrients and energy: A Pocket Drake’s sole source of energy and nutrients is blood. It drinks blood straight from the veins of its host and will accompany them until either of their untimely demise. It prefers the blood of warm-blooded creatures and it’ll take some prodding for it to drink from a Hylotl or lizard. Products?: The neurotoxin naturally produced by the Pocket Drake can be collected, sold, and injected as an addictive drug. Reproduction: A Pocket Drake, once finding a proper partner, will mate and produce about 3-4 eggs after a gestation period of a month. These eggs hatch after about two other months. Size: Around 7-10 inches long. Small enough to fit in one’s pocket. Weight: A Pocket Drake can weigh up to one and a half pounds. Anything above is considered overweight. Lifespan: A Pocket Drake would only live about five years in the wild due to their small and easily-killable size, but when in captivity it can live to up to fifty if it is kept happy and healthy. Abilities: Not only can Pocket Drakes fly, but when they drink blood from a host, they immediately replace it by pumping in a neurotoxin straight into the bloodstream that makes it so that the host barely feels it at all. Modern Pocket Drakes have been bred to have a higher potency of the neurotoxin, making it act identically to an antidepressant-anesthetic. However, it is highly addictive and people who are addicted to the neurotoxin will likely grow to value their Pocket Drake above anything else. Flaws: Since it can fly, it has hollow and weak bones. If a Pocket Drake isn’t careful and accidentally bumps into a wall while quickly flying, it can easily snap its neck and die instantly. It also is a brave and loyal animal to its host to a fault in that it’ll more than likely die in an attempt to protect it, as Pocket Drakes are known to have an ego.
I would specify in the 'where are they found' that theyre exclusive to the pet trade, however I see no outstanding flaws with these little buggers. Pass
