Dracaena

Dracaenae are a race of beings related to gorgons, originating from the Eurasian area/province of Scythia, but have now spread worldwide.

Appearance
Dracaenae look similar to their gorgon cousins, but with a few differences. The similarities to gorgons are a humanoid upper body, green, scaly skin, bright yellow, snake-like eyes, pointed ears, and forked tongues. However, that is where the similarities end. They have green, human-like hair, they lack the wings and bronze-like claws, and they have not one, but two serpent tails for legs. As such, their locomotion has been described as a combination of walking and slithering, similar to cross-country skiing with living skis.

Behavior
Dracaenae, similar to gorgons, have earned a fearsome reputation, due to their equally fearsome appearance. This makes them wary of strangers, however, when one gets to know them, one will find that they are kind, loyal, protective of their family and friends, and would never harm unless necessary.
