Apparently the Grizzly bear of the dragon world (even if it has the coloration of a koi or a toucan lol). While so, it's mostly a cross of a Zhenyuanopterus, a Spinosaur, and a dragon xD
Name: Snipperfang Class: Tidal Class (look at the class description here Size:Slightly larger than Toothless, some are at least the same size or even smaller Attack: 15 Speed: 15 Armor: 6 Firepower: 5 (weak fireballs) Shot limit: 4 Jaw strength: 17.5 Venom: 0 Stealth: 0 Habitat: Rivers and Lakes near boreal forests, rarely on beaches or brackish lakes. Description: this species of colorful dragons really stand out amongst the crowd! With colors that vary between individual, These bird-like dragons are mostly piscivorous, eating on migrating salmon like bears, or foraging in lakes for fish. Their physique makes them perfect fish-snarers. The Snipperfang's strong wings and legs holds the dragon's body still on various terrains, perfectly fooling any unlucky creature to it's nasty jaw. However, they don't only hunt on shallow waters, their wings also enable them to do short dives like a gannet, and their seemingly decorative crests are used to steer their movements underwater. However, they prefer hunting in the surface than submerging underwater, either waiting at shores, floating with their wings, or flying above water before snatching prey from the air (similar to Eagles, only using their fangs instead).
As a member of the Tidal class, it's ironic how the Snipperfang got the name "snipper" in it's name. However the name is derived from the word "sniper" and "nip", because of it's extremely keen eyesight, being able to see fish deep beneath the surface, and it's famous jaws, which could even intimidate most dragons, more so than their regular fireballs. This is because of their incredible jaw strength, and used for catching fish and for it's primary defense. To drive an unwanted guest away, they usually swarm their target and nip it continuously, to drive them away. Though they would usually roughly nudge their source of animosity away or warn them with a toothy hiss before doing such an action.
Mostly peaceful, Snipperfangs are curious of new things. But once it develops a distrust it will remember it for eternity. In the bright side, it also remembers good deeds, and are extremely loyal. They are usually found in small groups, consisting 3 to 6 dragons, hunting together. They are extremely social, and will help their comrades in need. Snippers can use their horns to communicate between each other, moving it in unique motions that only Snipperfangs can understand. They can also be rotated to a certain degree. A Snipperfang rotating it's horns individually for at least 4 times or more means "danger". Interestingly, Moldruffles can understand some of their signals, causing an unlikely symbiosis between the two species. However their differing habitats made this a rare occasion. Their huge crests are also used for communication, mostly territorial purposes, or to show a Snipper's location to other Snippers. They usually show their crests above the surface of the water when submerging. But they are also used as display in mating season, where it experiences slight color changes. Males usually have larger crests but shorter horns, while females have smaller crests yet longer horns.
While quite formidable, they are actually very timid. When they know that their adversary is superior than them, they would flee instantly. Their colorful scales can also be their weakness, because cannot properly hide with their surroundings. They are also popular targets for dragon traders, as their skins are popular in the market. Besides that, Snipperfangs heavily relies on it's strong jaws and it's buddies, so muzzling an isolated individual can render it nearly helpless.
Quite easy to train, Snippers can trust you quickly. By showing you are friendly and feeding it fish, it will be friendly towards you. Snippers are very loyal, and will protect you from harm. But if you do something extremely terrible that breaks it's trust, it will become slightly hostile. However, Snippers are very tolerant, and they won't hate you for being upset with them, in fact they would try to redeem themselves and get to your good side.
