Paper Dragons are not truly living creatures. They are pieces of parchment enchanted by magic, and as such, are very vulnerable to fire. However, they behave almost like dragons. The only place where their behavior differs is breeding: paper dragons cannot breed.

Rune Paper started off life as a piece of parchment, tucked away in the pages of one of Meghan's books for use as a bookmark. That all changed on the day when said book, a tome on paper enchanting, was caught in the path of a piece of stray magic after its borrower was startled by a prank involving a bucket of ice water over the mouth of her cave.

Somehow the unfocused magic melded with the magical properties of the book—for the written word has a magic all of its own—to turn the little piece of parchment into a papery dragon egg, which in time hatched into a tiny and adorable facsimile of a lindwurm.
