Description Alright so I adopted this dude from here  sparrowwrightheart.deviantart.… and I really love him ok leave me be.
I actually included a backstory? Sorry it’s really long :(

Name: Augur (Meaning a prophet, or seer)
Species:  Draconis magi
Gender:  Male
Area:  Dense woodlands.
Size:  3.3m tall. 7.7m head to tail. 8.7m wingspan.
Age:  146 human years. An eternal creature. Cannot die from natural means unless killed.
Speech: Voice has a very noticeable 'hiss' present. Voice is very raspy. Can speak quite quickly when wanting to explain something. Uses larger words very often. Can be heard mumbling to himself quite a lot.
Personality:  Hostile, judgemental and proud. Should not ever be approached. Best just to avoid this creature and get as much distance between you and him before he finds you and attacks, or worse, captures you for his resurrection and potion experiments. Does not speak very much and keeps to himself. Very easily provoked or insulted.
Diet:  Omnivorous. Eats meat as main source of food. Eats plants and flowers occasionally to figure out what is safe to use in potions.
Physical Features and Abilities:  Conjures magical spells from the palm of his four hands (these spells include a stream of fire and ice, an illumination spell and one to raise the dead ). Most known for his Necromancy abilities. Also able to spew a dark mist from his throat. Though he has a total of six eyes, his vision is not 100%, so instead he uses his large ears to sense enemies. Neck is extremely wrinkly to allow for maximum skull and neck movement. Feathers on only the underside of his wings.  It is said the horn of his head is the source of his magical abilities.

Back Story: Once a proud and noble magical creature, one that was respected by all he had met, is now but a husk of the greatness that was, wandering through the night like the undead he works with. It is said that around 50 years ago, the dragon’s great magical abilities were challenged one day by none other than a human. This was no ordinary human, no. This human was one of the few born with the gift of magic; a young, peppy woman who sought to better her abilities by  challenging the mighty beast. The great monster accepted, and after an intense battle of magic that charred the forest floor and froze the highest branches, it ended in a draw. Augur, a being of immense knowledge, was intrigued by this tie, and struck a deal with the young woman. They would teach each other magic, he would teach her some of his knowledge, while she taught him to speak fluently in the human tongue. The two started off shaky, only staying together for the resulting benefits, but after spending many years together and saving the other’s hide multiple times – the pair became valuable allies, spending the next 16 years together living in the woodland, sharing their knowledge and bettering their magical skills. However, one day the now not-so-young woman was struck down with a terrible disease, most likely from living without proper human food or medicines for so long. She died not long after symptoms began to show, leaving Augur in a dangerous and distraught state for a very long time as he tried desperately to use his magics to bring the woman back. Even after so many years, he has still not fully come to terms with her death, and now wanders through the forest night, seeking out ingredients for possible potions or finding dead creatures to experiment his resurrection skills on.

I imagine him to have like an old tortise neck that can stretch really far if he wants to like THIS


Awesome job on the refsheet, too! You're getting better all the time cries.

I like the armpit detail, it's super necessary for me to understand him.
