The Tree Hopper

General Information

Tree hoppers are an odd mix of an amphibian and a dragon, said to be created by a mage long ago who was messing around with their assignment. They have then since spread to be found in most rivers, lakes, and ponds that dot the veil, though are rarely seen due to the fact they are highly skittish and will descend into the water when scared. They have the odd habit of eating anything that moves, sometimes going as far as consuming leaves or rocks that get blown in the wind. Their main food is insects, though, and will gladly spend a day in the treetops stalking any sort of them that they may come across. They have the odd habit of sometimes tackling people that walk below their roosts, though it is unknown if this is because they mistake them for food or if they are trying to play.

Egg Information

This egg is jelly like in consistency, and partially transparent. A small dot resides in the center.

Baby Information

The creature that came out of the egg was not a typical dragon hatchling, instead lacking any legs or arms or wings. When it first hatched you had the egg out of water, and the moment it transformed you realized that you needed to place it in the water for it survive. It seems to enjoy being pet on its head, and it does not seem to have any scales.

Teen Information

What was an odd little hatchling has now matured into a much more recognizable hatchling, with which you can now make out its arms, legs, and wings. The transformation from your baby to the teen was a very odd one, from it first growing back nubs which formed into legs to getting front ones that grew into front legs. It got its wings after it crawled onto land for the first time, and you can tell they are still growing.

Adult Information

Your hatchlings wings have finally grown in, and its body is now much more proportionate. You now have an adult Tree Hopper, and it has taken to eating the strangest things, from bugs and rocks to small birds and snakes. It has the ability to stick to walls for a short time, and its strong back legs allow it to hop over ten feet. It often will go swimming in the same water pools it was raised, and if you sneak up on it while it is doing such it will dive under water until you leave. It also seems to enjoy hiding itself among the thick trees in the groves outside the castle, and if you walk through them to find it, it will sometimes hop out from one and tackle you.
