[edit] Ecology
Pseudodragons inhabit temperate forests in the wild, but they can be found as familiars in nearly any environment.
Pseudodragons typically have bodies about one foot long, with a two foot tail and weigh seven pounds. They can communicate telepathically and can also vocalize animal noises. While pseudodragons can bite, their main weapon is a stinging, poison tail. They are found in temperate forests and have chameleon like abilities, though their color is usually a brownish red.
Pseudodragons are always neutral good.[1]
[edit] Society
Pseudodragons are described as playful and curious with the personality of a common house cat.[2] They are highly valued as familiars.
Pseudodragons can vocalize animal noises, as well as communicate with creatures that speak Common or Sylvan via telepathy.
[edit] Pseudodragons in Greyhawk
Pseudodragons, though rare, are most often seen in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting as familiars, though some are known to exist in the wild. The best known pseudodragon in the setting is Edwina, familiar of Jallarzi Sallivarian.
