Chinese Fireball

The Chinese Fireball, also known as the liondragon, is a dragon native to China. It is a brilliant red and gold dragon, named for the rounded balls of flame that shoot from its nostrils.

Description
The Chinese Fireball is scarlet and smooth-scaled with a fringe of golden spikes around its snub-snouted face and extremely protuberant eyes.

The Fireball weighs between 2-4 tons. They are aggressive but, unlike other dragons, it is more tolerant of its own kind and will sometimes consent to share its territory with up to two other dragons.

Fireballs are also mentioned to be very fast and clever, at least for a dragon. Their eggs are vivid crimson speckled with gold, and the shells are prized in use for Chinese witchcraft.

Their diet consists mostly of mammals, usually preferring pigs and humans.
