Jadeling

As long as a man's leg, lithe and scaly, the emerald lizard fans its wings, slender tail flicking. Its clawed forefeet resemble hands, one of which slips into a small bag slung across its chest.

ECOLOGY

Environment temperate forests
Organization solitary, pair, or cabal (3-6)
Treasure double

Jadelings are a race of small dragons that inhabit temperate forests, especially regions near lakes and broad rivers. Evil and clever, they often ally with local humanoids and monstrous humanoids in order to orchestrate raids on nearby communities. By this means, jadelings fatten their treasure troves and secure protection against reprisals. Jadelings are especially fond of magic scrolls and wands. Adventurers observed to carry such items run the risk of being set upon by the jadelings and whatever assistance they can muster.
 
Capable of both flight and living underwater, jadelings have options when it comes to their lairs. In fact, a jadeling is likely to have more than one lair in its territory. This way it divvies up its treasure to make it harder for thieves. Jadelings build nests high up in tall trees as well as digging burrows in river banks or along lake shores.
