Smokey will help you thoughout this page. But I must warn you! He loves coffee (soda too), and may try to steal your cup if you let him too close. He will not bite or even try to harm you in any way. But please don't feed him! To much caffeine and he will never rest! Thank you for understanding.
Dragons

Imagine four legs a long sinuous body with a snake tail. The horns of a stag head like a camel. Eyes that glow red much like a rabbit or a beast. Its neck is of a snake, belly of a clam and scales like a fish. The claws like an eagle, paws are similar to a tigers. And the ears like a bull. With a peril in their throat which symbolizes wisdom. They can be black, red, white, or yellow. Yellow is considered superior.
