Description

Norbert is a skinny newborn Norwegian Ridgeback dragon with jet-black wrinkled skin resembling a crumpled umbrella. Huge spiny wings fold awkwardly along his long snout, wide nostrils, and budding horn stubs. Bulging orange eyes gleam above pointed fangs, his scaly body sneezing sparks with fiery breath.
