Sprite Darters
Also called Faerie Dragons, Blink Dragons or fey dragons
Facts:
They are immune to magic and have powerful magical song they sing in the mushroom ring located in Tirisfal. It seems that the faerie dragons travel in packs and possible take shifts for the singing ritual. They look like lizards with butterfly wings, not really like dragons at all. None of them tried to speak to us, although they do seem to listen. I know there are at least two other locations with these beings: Feralas and Hyjal.
When the fey dragons perform this singing ritual, corrupted and diseased deer and other animals gathered around, as if maybe they were being purified in some way. Bosco’s theory is that their song ritual is healing the forest and possibly these diseased animals that gather to watch.
Lore:
After asking around, I have found some myths and lore about the Fey Dragons. They are said to have been summoned by Malfurion from the Emerald dream to help rid the forests of demonic magics. This myth definitely correlates to Bosco’s theory pretty closely. Another rumor I was able to find is that the Grimtotem Tribe may be capturing them and using them for experiments! This is definitely something we will be checking into.
Personal Notes:
The trip with Bosco was a huge surprise! I thought we were going Mountain climbing, but it turned out he was inspiring me back to writing my animal field guides by bringing me to see the Fey Dragons! This was the best day, I had no idea these creatures did healing songs. I can’t believe how this one act has brought me back into my passion for writing about creatures. I am feeling more like myself again!
