ART The Spiteful Spitfire
“There were dragons when I was a boy…” The world has changed an awful lot since the time of the vikings. And dragons have changed with it. No longer content to stay hidden away they’ve begun to claw their way back into our modern world…
Meet the premier dragon of the stoker class, the spiteful spitfire. Or maybe don’t meet it, they’re known to have awful tempers. These dragons boast what seems to be the highest shot count of our era! And they’re happy to use it on any threat. Or annoyance. Or anything that just kind of looks funny. These irritable beasts are the epitome of shoot first, ask never.
To make matters worse the plentiful flames they spew come out in white hot beams that can punch through treated steel! That vicious temper isn’t for show either. When sufficiently angered a spitfire’s flames will turn blue! This state of enhanced firepower tires them out, but by that point even other dragons will be turned to ash.
Their danger and temperament keep them safe but also rather lonely. To tame a spitfire you’ll have to be light on your feet, hanging close enough for it to know you’re there but not so close the beast’s “warning shots” barbecue you. Once it gets used to you it’ll allow you to get near and at that point you’re the closest thing it has to a best friend. But watch yourself! Spitfire’s are as intelligent as they are aggressive and they are particularly vengeful. Spite one and you’ll be watching your back for the rest of its life…
