Description
A legend is spread among Chimarra of a vicious SharkScale (Or SharkScale-like creature) who dwells the darkest parts of the Index Mountains' vast forests, leaving bones and other remains of his many victims to scatter the forest floor. Trees are scratched with cryptic marks and pictures that travelers can only assume were made by the beast himself, depicting victims and rarely one, sloppily-written word: "Treasure."

Some version of the legend is known to every Tribe of Chimarra as word passes around or different "survivors" tell their story, and though they have some differences (and perhaps some exaggerations,) they have this in common:
"Treasure" is the name given to this cryptid by most dragons, since there's nothing else to go off of. Sometimes it's the "Treasure SharkScale" or something to that effect, but SharkScales usually use the name "Killer." Most dragons looking at the legend realistically agree that Treasure is probably an Anima, due to them seemingly being around for hundreds of years and how big they're described to be.
Treasure seems to be a pure (or mostly pure) SharkScale, with dark or bloody red eyes and a mouth always dripping with blood, like saliva. Apparently some dragons who saw Treasure and escaped, described how he seemed to be blind, which luckily allowed them to slip away if they were clever. The fact that Treasure seems to be blind (with visibly injured eyes?) puts some doubt on the Anima theory for some, since pure Animas should have their eyes heal back and slighter Animas that live forever have never been documented before. Perhaps the blindness could have a different cause than just an injury? No one really knows.
SoarScale, ShoreScale and SharkScale versions also include how Treasure can turn into a nice-looking (if a little dirty/muddy) ShoreScale to lure in his prey for a swift kill. Some survivors describe him walking into the shadows and suddenly leaping out at them as Treasure. There's also a significant amount of green scaleshells that litter parts of the forest and in caves, which is apparently the same shade as the ShoreScale had. The ShoreScale never said his name, and only introduced himself as another traveler. The ShoreScale is described as male, but no one's sure what Treasure is.
Treasure has never been known to talk, but it's interesting that his supposed ShoreScale form has.
It's not really known if shapeshifting can be an Anima power, but who knows.
When Treasure stalks closer, some dragons describe getting a slight or intense headache or suddenly their thoughts start to race or jumble, making it even harder to escape.
Not only is there a delightful array of dragon bones and scales, there's also fish and animal remains as well.

Yay Chimarra stuff
Had this guy in mind for a while, hopefully I'll have more about Treasure out soonish
I'll probably get into actual backstory later, for now I just want to start with the mysterious legend
