The Wypoc Dragon, or simply the "Dragon," is a safari game animal native to Wypoc (world).

Physiology & Ecology[edit]

The Wypoc Dragon is a dangerous and armored beast with a much different protein set than most known life. It is the apex predator of Wypoc, and is native to the coastal uplands. The predator hunts by metallic ions released by the bodies of its targets.

The Dragon's teeth are formed of bio-cerametal, which is quite capable of doing significant damage to many other creatures; the metalic content, however, results in needing to replace them often, and the ceramic is also somewhat brittle, so like terran sharks, new teeth are formed, then moved to the lips. 44 tons of flying shark with claws is quite the intimdation, but like most predators on wypoc, the dragon is a keen hunter, tracking by sound, sight, and smell, as well as seeming to be unerringly able to sense life and danger.

The IISS has rated them non-sentient, possibly protosentient (but as yet, insufficient data exists for any proper judgement).

Diet & Trophics[edit]

Some have even claimed that air-rafts have been dragon-snacks!

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Wypoc has become a mecca for jaded individuals desiring a real challenge: The Dragon, which runs free and wild, and is known to hunt the hunter.

Travellers' Aid Society Advisory[edit]

Wypoc is travel zone yellow for the atmosphere's hostility; the uplands are advised as a red zone due to the dragon-presence.
