A volvagia appears as a flying serpent about 20 feet in length, with a bright red backside and paler orange underbelly. It features two razor sharp claws, which it uses to maneuver its body along the ground when not flying. Its skull is surrounded with a metallic bone-like protrusion even harder than the armor-like scales that cover its entire body, and bursting from this skull is a long mane that glows like fire. Any volvagia can live for centuries, and is often the apex predator in a volcano or other area of abundant molten rock. Indeed, it survives in part on heat itself. These monstrous dragons are one of few creatures feared by gorons, as volvagia are known to devour the stalwart rock-people while they yet live. |
