King Sombra pet dragon facts

Thornridge

Official Description 

These Dragons are the silent but strong type. They're more comfortable in the background, but are always ready to swoop in when someone or something they care about needs help. As in life, the Thornridge prefers to stay back and fight from the shadows. It will only go to the front lines if it senses a comrade in danger. 

Development 

The Thornridge was created using a modular system to mix and match preset body parts onto different dragons. It was created from the same base that was used for the Hobblegrunt, Raincutter, Threadtail, Windstriker, and two other unknown dragons. 

Physical Appearance 

Thornridge eggs look like an upside down triangle as it has a smaller base and a wider top. They have rows of spikes that run down vertically. The spikes closer to the top tend to be larger than those closer to the bottom. The egg looks very similar to a Singetail's, although they don't really share any further features. 

 Hatchling to Adult 

Thornridges are a long and slender dragon with short limbs and big wings. They have long tails and long necks. They have a twin nose horn that makes a "V" shape, and a solid crest with spiral horns. They have a pair of big eyes at the front of their skulls. They come in all sorts of colors with blotchy markings and paler underbellies. They have a few spines running down from their necks to tails and their tail splits slightly at the end.

Titan Wing Thornridges are light green in color and their wings are an even lighter green with dark green spots. Their frills are larger and the spines that run along their back and the spikes on their frill are longer, sharper, and pink in color.

Abilities

Most Thornridges breath orange-yellow fireballs, however some individuals like Thornshade have displayed unique thick streams of yellow-green fire. Thornridges are also capable of holding fire in their mouths to illuminate dark places.

Strength and Combat

Thornridges are able to carry humans on their backs and longboats that are loaded with a multitude of objects without any signs of struggle.

Behavior and Personality

The Thornridge is an incredibly shy and quiet dragon, preferring to remain in the background. This dragon hates getting involved with activities and fights, but will readily help if it means saving its home and friends. 

Despite this shy personality, some Thornridge individuals, such as Warywing, are quite social with other dragons, even different species. Even so, Warywing is still scared of Vikings, children, and sheep.
