Cavern Lurker Dragons are nocturnal ambush predators. Although small, they are very aggressive and will attack anything weak enough to be overpowered. Their preferred method of hunting is to lie in wait in a cave, burrow, or other small, enclosed space; when any potential prey passes they will lunge out to grab hold of the unsuspecting victim and drag it back into the lair.

Their mating call is a low-pitched bumping noise.

Teqgeketo happens to be the dragon in charge of protecting all eggs and hatchlings in the land and Warry has made it his life's mission to help him. Unfortunately, there have been unexpected consequences.

Due to a combination of being kicked out of most dens and also forcing himself to patrol the territory, this is one Cavern Lurker who has never really lurked about any caverns. This uncharacteristic behavior has led to extreme insecurities and a high-strung nature that leaves him jumpy at best and hysterical at worst. On the bright side, Warry is an excellent guard dragon. He annihilates anything that moves....
