Rumor
the red dragon

Rumor is a terribly powerful and ferocious dragon. He has thick red scales that clattered and clicked as he moves. He also has two long leathery wings, sharp and gnarled claws, and a long whip-like tail. Inside his mouth are rows of sharp teeth that drip green saliva and he haa a long, slithering tongue. Perhaps the most frightening aspect of the dragon EW his eyes, for these arelarge and yellow and gleam like mirrors.

Like so many of his kind, Rumor is obsessed with treasure. For hundreds of years he has scavenged the world, collecting all the treasures known to man or monster. He steals as it pleases him, taking gold, diamonds, and precious stones—everything that give the greedy the urge to steal and the wicked the desire to murder. After vanquishing the giants of Krodos, the great serpent moved into their castle, and it's here where he guards his horde of riches with jealous zeal.

Ultimately, however, Rumor is not satisifed with his glittering wealth, for there is one treasure that he craves to own more than any other.

When the young Een heroine Kendra Kandlestar encountered Rumor, she came to realize that his physical might was only one of his weapons, for the beast possessed a sharp mind and the heart of a trickster.
