All right! Now I've gotten through, and personally interpreted, all the dragons we saw in the Dragon Manual (not counting the Boneknapper)!
Just like with the Skrill, this one took me a while to "get right" because of its weird mouth, but I'm finally happy with the result xD

The Whispering Death is interesting because it's ancestors have obviously been capable of flying, but have somewhere down the line chosen a life on the ground instead of a life in the air. Its wings have become sturdy, powerful arms with three hooked claws which it uses to climb and crawl through the rocky landscapes it has made its home. The dragons long, snake-like body is packed with muscles, making it much too heavy for flying, but it is instead an excellent swimmer and has been observed to be able to hold its breath for almost 15 minutes when diving for fish.
Unlike most other dragons, the Whispering Death cannot make any other sounds besides hisses. And should it feel threatened by anything, it will first loudly hiss to show its displeasure, before either spitting out a shower of scorching hot embers to blind the threat, or flat out attack it. It is mostly the young Whispering Deaths who will spray embers, as they are not be large enough to successfully protect themselves by fighting most of the time.
Dragon experts agree that this dragon is quite intelligent, as they have noticed when observing them the dragons have seemingly observed them back. Experts deem its intelligence and self-awareness to be on par with that of a Night Fury.
