A grunli is a powerful and aggressive type of dragon that lives in dense and rugged forests. They use their large horns to smash through obstacles and enemies, and their muscular bodies to withstand attacks. They are very protective of their territory and will not hesitate to challenge any intruders. Grunlis are often respected by other forest dragons, who may seek their aid or alliance. Some humans and krenpowen may befriend grunlis, but only if they prove their strength and loyalty. Grunlis are loyal and brave, but also stubborn and prideful. They enjoy challenges and competitions, and may reward those who impress them with gifts or favors. Grunlis feed mostly on fruit and plants, and they are especially fond of the fruit from wium trees, only found in Raiben Vangar. grunlis grow to be around 30’ long, nose-to-tail tip, with 45’-50’ wingspans.
