Behold, the finished Swooping-Death~
My original try and coloring this guy in ended up with an overly flamboyant looking creature that made me laugh whenever I looked at it, so I re-did the colors and this is the final product.
Still flamboyant, but not obnoxiously flamboyant.

The bright coloration is due to two reasons - this dragon flies so silently that it completely ignored any potential need for camouflage, and it is highly venomous.
The venom it secretes passes into its flames when it breathes fire, making it deadly no matter what. The venom is corrosive, causing blindness and rapid breakdown of tissue. The Swooping-Death relies on this venom to aide with its digestion, and if it were to eat without any use of said venom, it would not be able to process its food.

Using its six wings, this dragon manages to soar through the air without making a single sound. Hence, no one manages to discover that its around by listening for it - you need to watch the sky for its flamboyant coloration.
Prey is hoisted off of the ground by the grip of its strong hind legs, which each sport six toes. 4 of the toes face the front, and 2 point towards the back. This provides an incredible grip, which none are able to escape from safely.

Highly attuned senses of smell and sight help this dragon locate a potential meal - among other things.
Hearing is poor.

It sleeps hanging upside down in trees or in caves, using only what is capable of holding its body upright.
This dragon stands at seven and a half feet when full grown, has a tail that is only three feet long, and each set of wings is a different length. It uses its wings to help it travel on land when it is not flying, and can reach a top speed of 35 miles per hour when doing so.

Cannot fly in the snow, and is weak against electric or earth based attacks.
Breaking even one of its wings can cripple it for life if the wound does not heal properly.

Hope you like it :3
