Appearance
The X'rilen is a small, grey creature with a sleek, almost serpentine body. Its leathery wings span wide and its sharp talons glint in the light. Its eyes glow with an otherworldly blue hue, and its horned head gives it a sinister appearance. The X'rilen is often mistaken for a dragon hatchling or a demonic creature, but in reality, it is a gentle and loyal companion.
Combat Tactics
The X'rilen uses its speed and agility to dart in and out of combat, freezing enemies with its breath before slashing and biting with its claws and teeth.
Combat Strategy
The X'rilen is not a creature of violence, often using its powerful wings to take flight and avoid physical confrontations. However, if threatened or provoked, it will use its sharp claws and teeth to defend itself. It is also capable of unleashing a frosty breath, causing cold damage to any attackers.
In combat, the X'rilen relies on speed and agility, darting in and out of range with lightning-fast movements and attacks. Its small size makes it difficult to hit, and its quick reflexes allow it to dodge incoming attacks. However, if its bonded companion is in danger, the X'rilen will fight fiercely and without hesitation, using its ice breath to freeze enemies in place.
History / Lore
The X'rilen has a long and fascinating history, dating back to a time when dragons ruled the skies. They were first created by the powerful dragon deity, Tiamat, to serve as messengers and scouts. However, many X'rilen rejected this role and sought to live a peaceful and independent life. Over time, they formed bonds with other creatures, often serving as loyal companions and guardians.
During the Great Dragon War, many X'rilen fought alongside their bonded companions, using their speed and agility to evade harm and their frost breath to freeze enemy dragons in place. Though they were not as powerful as their dragon kin, their loyalty and resourcefulness proved to be invaluable, and they were eventually declared a protected species by the dragon deities. In present times, the X'rilen can be found in many different environments, but they are most commonly found as companions to adventurers, using their abilities to aid and protect their bonded companions.
