Sleepy Dragons were once kept as pets. Their easy-going nature and calm demeanour made them favourites everywhere, from massive stone castles to straw-covered huts. They prefer a cosy rug in front of a crackling fireplace over the dank caves where some of their larger cousins live. Sleep Dragons are larger than they appear, but they often appear curled up before a crackling fire, so they are difficult to measure. Despite their long horns and sharp claws, they are harmless. With a deep purple colour long favoured by royalty, the sleepy dragon curls up into a 3 inch square, about the size of a drink coaster. One of few dragons to be fully domesticated, it's thought that Sleepy Dragons were first discovered by ancient Celtic forest dwellers. Over time, they became staples in castle great rooms, often spending days on end dreaming near stone fireplaces. Archaeologists occasionally report sighting Sleepy Dragons snoozing in the ruins of medieval castles.
