Cancarion
The Cancarion are a species of bipedal dragons that are renowned for their formidable magical abilities. They are unusual dragons, especially in their pack mentality. Cancarion, while unfriendly towards other species, tend to travel in groups, mate for life and protect their young viciously.
Cancarion make an effective high level encounter, and a pack of them can even make an effective epic level challenge. While it is uncommon, Cancarion can take class levels, and are particularly fond of the barbarian class.
Cancarion are just barely larger than humans, typically standing between six and seven feet tall. Inexperienced adventurers tend to mistake them for baby red dragons, as their scales are of the exact same hue and color. Their eyes are a bright yellow that can only be described as sickening.
