Egg

This is… a trash can?

Description

Trash Dragon eggs release a smelly gas to ward off potential predators. Their outer shell is made out of a metal like material, so Trash Dragon eggs are often mistaken to be actual trash cans.

It is said that Trash Dragons used to be normal looking dragons, until one day, an egg accidentally fell into a trash can. Surprisingly, the waste in the trashcan acted like some kind of fertilizer, and the egg was able to hatch despite the unusual environment.

Hatch

This creature has flies for friends

Description

A recently hatched Trash Dragon is in its most cleanest form. The green goo that comes with it is very useful. It contains a lot of nutrients, and acts as a food supply for baby Trash Dragons. Additionally, the green goo also has some healing properties. However, its taste and smell are very disgusting. Consumption of green goo is usually a last resort.

Hatchling

It's taking out the trash.

Description

Hatchling Trash Dragons have a strong urge to pick up litter and clean up the environment. Sometimes, other dragons refuse to play with them because of their stinky scent and dirty look. However, hatchling Trash Dragons still pick up trash because they believe it's the right thing to do. They even keep some trash for themselves to act as accessories

Adult

This dragon is surrounded in trash.

Description

Trash Dragons lose their color and scales as they grow older. Some trash stains never wash away. But the Trash Dragons still continue to pick up litter. They will protect nature from trash, in hopes that one day, no other plant, animal, or dragon will end up as misfortunate as the Trash Dragon.

Story - “Lost and Found”

On a festive night when no one is looking, the Trash Dragon scurries between alleyway and alleyway.

It rummages through bins and bins of garbage, as if searching for something.

When lights fade away, and cheers grow silent, the Trash Dragon hurries its pace.

Finally the Trash Dragon spots something within the waves of garbage.

The Trash Dragon pushes the garbage aside, revealing an intricate wooden sculpture of a couple holding hands.

Meanwhile, a wife and husband are celebrating their anniversary together.

Each of them prepared a very special gift for one another.

However, the husband is anxious because he has lost his gift.

He had searched every crook and cranny, but it was of no use.

He could not find his gift.

Eventually, he decided to face the truth.

The husband told the wife everything about how he lost his gift.

The wife patiently listened, but there was no anger on her face.

She loved the husband despite his mistake.

Finally, when they had settled down, the husband spotted his gift. His hand-carved wooden sculpture was on the table this whole time!

With that, the husband's face brightened with excitement as he called for his wife.

In the end, the couple spent their anniversary night in joy and delight.
