Mountain Dragon

Mountain dragons are a creature featured in Firelord_Ozai87's story.

Natural history
Mountain dragons are a species of large, ferocious, carnivorous, flying reptiles that inhabit the mountains surrounding the village led by Lord Balto. They have green scales and a crocodile-like head. The males measure forty-eight feet in length, while the females are around forty-five feet. They fly and breathe fire via hydrogen gas made in their gut.

Dragon hunting
Considered vermin by many of the villagers because they sometimes hunt and kill livestock, dragons are hunted by them, particularly the nobility. Their meat is edible and very tasty, and so, when a dragon is killed, its body is hauled down to the village, butchered and the meat is passed out to the villagers of species that eat meat. Notably, anthros discovered fire through the dragons.

In the story
Mountain dragons appear frequently in statues and art, as well as periodic actual appearances.
