Wasai dragon

As there is only one known Wasai dragon in the world, it is often referred to simply as “the Wasai.” It is one of a handful of guardian creatures throughout the realm that each protect a class four Heash Stone. It protects the blue Heash Stone in the Arterus Temple in the Shimmering Isles, at the height of Terek’s Peak.

The Wasai dragon is a semi-aquatic, wingless, serpent-like creature, and is blue with a white swirl pattern over its entire body. It is the largest creature in the Spolan Ring to command the powers of both ice and fire, and it is immune to both. It is equally as comfortable in the boiling water in the depths of the hot springs as it is in the below-freezing atmosphere surrounding Terek’s Peak.

Its size has been estimated at about a thousand feet long and 20 feet wide. Each of its cycloid scales is the size of a dinner plate. Its skin has never once been pierced, and it can fly at immeasurable speeds when provoked.

It is said that the dragon’s presence at Terek’s Peak and its bond with the blue Heash Stone are what keep the stone and the surrounding atmosphere stable. If the dragon were to leave, the stone would become volatile and potentially very dangerous. If the stone were to be stolen, the delicate temperate balance between the unbearable heat of the hot springs and the unbearable cold of the mountain would fail, and the Shimmering Isles would become unlivable.

The Wasai is typically very calm and genial. It has even been known to let children ride on it’s back. But if someone attempts to steal the class four blue Heash Stone in the temple, or disturb the peace around it, the dragon becomes terrifying and deadly. It breathes blue fire that freezes everything it touches.
