Redwoods Biome

Redwoods

The Redwoods are favored hunting grounds for large pradators, both dinosaur and dragon. Though prey species may feel safe surrounded by thick trees, dragons like the Stormcutter are moving almost silently from tree to tree, and Razorwhips use their prehensile tails to hang upside down from high branches while they sleep. Though there is far better grazing and more nutrient-rich plants, these woods should never be entered into alone.

Dinosaur Population

Every species of dinosaur can find some manner of rest, food, and shelter in the redwoods. Utahraptors nest deep in the forests where the trees are too thick for even the sneakiest Allosaurus to get close without making noise. Parasaurs typically live wandering around the forest, but a large river through the forest, a strong and wide obstacle. Utahraptors can easily jump over this river, but other dinosaurs have to either try their luck swimming, or search for a more narrow bend. The woods themselves are home to many small mammals, lesser reptiles like lizards and snakes. These are easy snacks, making the Redwoods a territory well worth fighting for.

Dragon Population

Despite the tight spaces of the Redwoods, dragons do live here. Mostly they stay up in the canopy, or near the clearings scattered about to watch for prey wandering into such a vulnerable location. Stormcutters perch high on the driest of trees, usually individuals with brown or reddish scales and no striking patterns find the most success here. Razorwhips, especially colonies of males, will use their prehensile tails to hang from high branches of sturdy trees. Like the Stormcutter, most that find success here are darker in color, mostly bronze or brownish-gold colors. The Razorwhips can hunt on the forest floor, where Stormcutters need the trees and clearings in order to feed. The skrill can't survive in this environment, the humidity and tight spaces would tire and slow them down.
