Another Dragon Cat (Pygmy Pearl Dragon)

This little gal is a Pygmy Pearl dragon, which is named after the peculiar behavior of adults to carry around a pearl (or sometimes a marble, rock, or other small circular object). These strange creatures only reach a total of 6 inches in length not including the tail (which can sometimes be longer than the body itself), with the females sometimes reaching up to 8 inches on rare occasions. The males are bare of feathers and fins, while the females have almost wing like plumage attached to their front legs as well as fin-like protrusions on their head, though they have less spikes along their body. 

These little creatures have a very sturdy body despite being long and thin, and have powerful back legs that allow them to leap great distances. Their paws are very versatile and can move and be used almost as efficiently as hands, their tail as well is versatile and can be maneuvered consciously. When moving, they keep their pearl wrapped gently in their tail. 

In addition to this, these creatures are incredibly smart. They do not have vocal chords, but do posses the ability to speak telepathically, and even possess the ability to control some magic, though not much. 

In all, these creatures make fantastic companions, and are smart enough even to carry out complex tasks on command if trained. (Though you may have to argue with it a while to get it to do anything for you)
