clunch dragon

Sometimes called a slarm-eel, a clunch dragon isn't an actual dragon. However, it is one of the longest beasts in the world—its scaled, coiling body stretches over a hundred feet in some cases. Though large and menacing, clunch dragons are not very majestic, being wormy, grimy critters with stubby limbs, who prefer the hot, dark stickiness of muck to clear water. They are like great coiled worms slumbering in swamp, decay, refuse, sewage, and industrial waste, until the cover of night, when they slink from mud pool to mud pool searching for prey.

Names: Muckwaller, Gunkfang, The Coil, Inkwriggle
