Dracadian Highland Drake

The Dracadian Highland Drake, also known as the Cliodrake (Microdracus cliovus) is a very small wingless dragon native to the Clio Mountain in Dracade. It is an incredibly small apterodraconid, being even smaller than the Guojiang Weaseldragon (Paraophidophysis musteloides).

Influence on Cultures
It is believed that this creature has had a massive influence on Dracadian culture ever since the disappearance of the Ducks, in fact they have even become a national symbol and inspired local native religions.

It is unclear how these dragons started to have cultural relevance only from the birth of the Dracadians, but sources suggest many theories:


 * Since the Cluckonic Order (the predecessor of Dracade) was a heavily religious nation, they probably overlooked these creatures in favour of others.
 * The importance that these drakes have to the Dracade might come from the fact that these people are natives of this land, more specifically Mount Clio where the city of Dragospiro has its roots; sharing the same territory probably made the Dracadians interact much more with the Dracadian Highland Drake, maybe even giving birth to the local cults mentioned earlier.
