A pseudodragon was a small dragon-kin known to be playful.[3]
Description[]
Pseudodragons typically had bodies about 1 foot (30 centimeters) long, with a 2‑foot-long (61‑centimeter) tail and weighed about 7 pounds (3.2 kilograms). They had chameleon-like abilities, though their color was usually a brownish red.[3]
Abilities[]
They could communicate telepathically in Common or Draconic and also through the vocalization of animal noises. While pseudodragons could bite, their main weapon was a stinging, poisonous tail.[3]
Ecology[]
Behavior[]
Their general attitude was similar to that of a small cat but with a cunning intelligence. They were wary of evil beings, but were willing to serve as a companion to another being if treated well and respected.[3]
Environment[]
Pseudodragons inhabited temperate forests in the wild.[3]
Significance[]
They were sometimes dispatched in times of need by an array of deities including Brandobaris, Erevan Ilesere, Gond, Gwaeron Windstrom, Marthammor Duin, Mystra, and Rillifane Rallathil.[7]
Notable Pseudodragons[]
King Haedrak Rhindaun III of Tethyr had a platinum-colored pseudodragon named Purlakhonthiis.[8]
