A mountain dwelling breed of dragon, Tatzelwurms are a strange and unique species rumored to be the result of a pairing between the Reptile King and the Feline Queen in ancient times. Officially they are a close relative to the Wurm, bearing a distinctly serpentine body. However they are identifiable by the cat like ears and paws. Like all dragons they are capable of resisting the influence of the Demon Lord and returning to their beastly primal form. This form resembles a serpentine dragon bearing the head and forelegs of a big cat but no hind limbs or wings. Their primal form is also significantly smaller than that of most dragons.

Like Wurms, Tatzelwurms are simple minded and driven by their instincts. However the nature of cat shines through in them as well giving them a more playful and haughty personality. They act as if they are superior to those around them, often siting that they aren in fact, a dragon as proof of this. Despite this however they are also very easily distracted and playful. Because of this a Tatzelwurm could could go from bragging about her nature as a dragon, to chasing and pouncing on small insects or leaves blowing in the wind in an instant.

Despite being one of weaker species of dragons, they are fast, agile and stealthy in comparison to their larger cousins. While lacking the firey breath of other dragons, Tatzelwurms breath a poisonous gas that leaves its victim weakened and drowsy enabling them to quickly and easily tear into their prey with their razor sharp claws and crush their victims in their powerful coils. Thus despite being weaker than most dragons they are actually quite effective as hunters and ambush specialists.

Similarly to Wurms, a Tatzelwurm will ferociously pursue a man on sight, driven by their instincts as a mamono to claim a mate. Contrary to their usual nature, when pursuing a man a Tatzelwurms focus will not waver, instead she would relentlessly hunt and pursue with unwavering tenacity. Due to being weaker than Wurms, Tatzelwurms cannot simply plow through obstacles, instead they rely on their superior speed, agility, and stealth to quickly navigate around obstacles. Should something be in the path of a Tatzelwurm she will be able to jump and climb over it nearly as quickly as she can run across flat land. Tatzelwurms also have a sharp sense of smell and hearing and a predatory cunning, despite their lack of intelligence. Thus Tatzelwurms are often able to track down and find a man when he is hiding, sometimes instinctively guessing where he is without having needed to actually sense him. Because of this, running and hiding from a Tatzelwurm is largely ineffective.

Once a Tatzelwurm has a man in her clutches she will often drag him back to her lair where toy with him like a cat does with a mouse letting him believe he can before pouncing on him from seemingly from out of nowhere. Strokeing, kneeding, licking, and nibbling on his body just to see his reactions. Pinning him and squeezing him in her coils. Before culminating to the Tatzelwurm mating and claiming him as her husband. Though Tatzelwurms often don't realize it, but their actions do serve a purpose, as it allows the Tatzelwurm to discourage escape attempts and assert her dominance while she simultaneously learns how best to pleasure her new husband.

Despite their pride and ferocity, Tatzelwurms can be tamed, and quite easily at that. Should a man face a Tatzelwurm instead of fleeing it leave her confused and off balance. Her instincts viewing him as prey, and the idea of prey who does not flee or hide in one that is unthinkable. The man can then exploit the Tatzelwurms vanity, giving her complements, offering treats, and and showing her affection. If he does this, she will become like a pet cat begging for more attention. The Tatzelwurm will follow the man home, constantly trying to get his attention and get him to show her more love.

Once tamed Tatzelwurms behave in aloof cat like manner, often acting as if they are the master of the relationship, however they will immediately cave should her master show himself to be annoyed or angry with her. Of course a tamed Tatzelwurm will often become little more mewling kitten should her master pet or hug her in anyway, regardless of what she was doing before. Once tamed a Tatzelwurm will also become very protective of her master, often following her master wherever he goes to keep an eye on him. Though the Tatzelwurm will often pretend as if she doesn't care about her master and make up some excuse for her being there, should the Tatzelwurm perceive anyone or anything to be threatening she will viciously attack, pouncing on the foe amd crushing it in her coils while biting and clawing like an enraged wild cat.

The Tatzelwurms living in the Snowy Mountains are unique, identifiable by their icey blue scales and their white, leopard spatted fur. They frequently rescue those who have succumbed to the harsh conditions of the mountain, often using their own body heat to warm them before carrying them off to safety. It is also not uncommon for a Snowy Tatzelwurm to have some ice magic in her body. While they lack the intelligence and knowledge to cast actual spells with their magic, they are capable of shunting the energy into parts of their body such as their claws and tail or into their already poisonous breath attack. They often burrow under the snow when stalking prey.

[And here we have the Tatzelwurm, aka the Kitteh Snek. They are quite possibly the weakest dragon in my roster. About as smart as a Wurm, weaker than a Wyvern, flightless, and lacking in a breath weapon that deals any legitimate damage. But I have combined the Wurms aspects of being a cute dummy with a werecats tendency towards being arrogant tsunderes. I call it... TSUNDUMMY!!!
