Description Another dragon
This one in a rock type

Behold, the Tunneling Terror.
A long bodied, small winged dragon that spends most of its time underground. Using the two horns that grow from its nose and beneath its jaw, it digs a series of tunnels beneath the earth. By rapidly spinning its body, it is able to move quickly and silently.
All tunnels has an entrance and an exit that can be found above ground - but are in no way safe to explore. The tunnel openings go straight down anywhere between 10 and 20 feet, making it impossible to climb in or out of them without special gear at hand.

Upon digging all of its tunnels, the Tunneling Terror will calmly traverse the underground on foot. It hunts simply by cornering and devouring any creature that happens to be unfortunate enough to fall into its underground home.

Those standing nearby when a Tunneling Terror emerges from a newly dug hole are given quite a sight. The dragon is unable to stop its spinning motion as it shoots out of the ground, causing its head and forelimbs to be flung around wildly as its lower half struggles to emerge. The action results in many deep gashes surrounding the new hole, making it easy to spot the entrances of a Tunneling Terror's home.

This species of dragon is nearly deaf thanks to its underground nature, but has incredible eyesight. Thanks to its eyesight, this dragon cannot come above ground when the sun is shining. Doing so would blind it - possibly permanently.
In the rare event that a Tunneling Terror is seen above ground when the sun is out, its eyes will be clenched shut, but the dragon will appear to be in immense pain.

Thanks to its inability to handle bright lights, this breed has completely lost its ability to breathe fire. Instead, it sprays a mixture of boiling water and sand. Victims his by this spray are quickly killed from the intense burns, and their bodies are encased in glass. The dragon is more than capable of digesting said glass safely, and hence will gladly devour prey killed through this means.

This dragon is only a real threat if encountered underground. When taken outside its element and exposed to any form of bright light, it is rendered helpless and virtually incapable of defending itself.
