An illustration of a dragon in the shape of an 'S' turned 90 degrees counter-clockwise. The dragon's mouth is open as it flaps its wings down and lifts its head up. The dragon has blue legs and pink claws, Blue bat like wings, and a long possum like tail. The body is fluffly instead of scaly. It has two horns that have a feathery texture.
We need help!!! What do you think this dragon hoards?
We need to know stat!
