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.

Brought to life after a misguided spell hit an egg-shaped pinata during the birthday celebration of the scroll master, Modern Papyrus blends in the environment of the scroll dragons. Afraid of Flaming Reecebeau's daily training of breathing fire, this "dragon" spends most of the time flying high in the sky, only to be mistaken by other dragons to be a beautifully-made kite.
