A sentient mountain dragon species similar in size and physiology to Sawridge Mountain Iliehnassi. Coloration and other features different. Separated from Sawridge Mountain Iliehnassi by an ocean feature (found on other sides of the world/continents). If brought together they can hybridize. Offspring considered dangerous due to hybrid vigor (unlimited growth) and greater intelligence. Offspring is sterile but are sought from renegade leaders for guard creatures, village assassins. Although sentient, when brainwashed they become fiercely loyal to what they know. Favors high mountain ranges with forested lowlands. They enjoy hunting during rainstorms or the fronts of thunderheads using the low clouds and low visibility to conceal their large forms. Ancient lore referred to them as storm bringers. They were worshiped to bring needed rains and to protect them from violent storms. Tend to leave humaniods alone unless food is scarce.
