History

The Jungle Dragon almost certainly is an adaptation of the widespread and well-known Forest Dragon. Because the Forest Dragon is winged, it’s thought that a wayward flier found its way into the tropics and decided to make a new home. Over time, with its wings more a hindrance in the dense jungle, the dragon may have slowly adapted, losing the wings while gaining the darker colors that make it practically invisible in a rain forest. As many of the world’s jungles are largely unexplored, numbers for Jungle Dragons are unknown.
