Beautiful and fey, willow dragons have a mystic dryad-like connection to willow trees. They dwell in the forests of the fey mostly, only rarely being born and lairing in mortal woods. Willow dragons are kind creatures known for healing and helping those in need; they have been known to move their tree’s branches to provide shelter to travelers lost in Faerie during its nights and storms.

Willow dragons are slim and small for their total length and even when they reach full growth have fragile looking bodies. Their necks are proportionately long, and long hair-like strands of scales hang from their heads. Their eyes are a deep violet, and their scales are brownish-grey streaked with vibrant green full of life. Unlike other dragons the presence of a willow dragon does not instill fear into creatures.

Willow dragons spend most of their time next to their tree, tending to it and the surrounding plant life like a caring mother. They can be seen gently pruning trees that grow nearby, cleaning them of caterpillar infestations, and have been known to grow angry with travelers who disrespect the growing things of Faerie.

Willow dragons can subsist entirely off of the morning dew as long as their tree remains healthy. Should it sicken they and its photosynthesis fail, they feel a steadily growing hunger that drives some to madness. This madness is so great some destroy their own tree breaking their symbiotic bond and becoming “Forlorn”.

Special Abilities:

Breath Weapon (Su): A willow dragon has a single breath weapon, a cone of sleep gas. All creatures caught in the area must make a Will save or fall asleep (as spell, no hit die cap) for 1d6 + age category rounds.

Tree Symbiosis (Su): Each willow dragon is mystically bound to a single willow tree (salix alba is the most common species for willow dragons) and must never stray more than one mile from it. Any who do become ill and die within 4d6 hours. A willow dragon’s willow does not radiate magic. A willow dragon may move into its own tree existing in a sort of pocket dimension while within it. While within the tree the willow dragon does not have line of effect to any creature, nor does any creature have line of effect to the willow dragon. The willow dragon may still see and hear normally as if it was in the space occupied by its arboreal home. A willow dragon may also store objects (but not creatures) in its tree as if the tree were a type IV bag of holding. A willow dragon may cause its tree to move slightly, but the speed of this movement is too slow for any in combat effect. Due to this symbiosis a willow dragon's tree does not normally die of old age until the dragon itself succumbs to the twilight.

When the dragon has an egg they store it inside the mothers tree. When the egg is ready to hatch the tree releases the egg with a tiny Sapling (Like 9 cm tall) growign from the top of it. When the baby pushes out from the egg the sapling is planted with the shell as is breaks down. And thus you have even more entwined dragons.

For a dragon that has lost it's tree it can as a last resort before dying attempt to coerce from the ruins of the tree a tiny sapling and so long as one seed or sapling can be gained the dragon may live. Should this sapling survive the year the dragon will have a good growing tree. During this year the tree is very fragile and the Dragon takes a -10 on everything while out of sight of the tree. A dragon that destroyed its own tree does not have this option.

Rarely a willow dragon, in a fit of madness, will destroy its own tree. Few willow dragons survive this act and those who do become "Forlorn". A "Forlorn" suffers a -8 penalty to Wisdom and lose their druidic casting. They gain a +6 to Charisma and sorcerer casting as a sorcerer of the listed level. "Forlorn" as lose access to all Song of X abilities they had as a willow dragon except for Song of Ending. "Forlorn" are always Chaotic Evil and exist in a state of anger, sorrow, and unending pain. Few "Forlorn" live more than a month, and none has been known to live a year in this state.

Alternate Form (Su): A willow dragon can assume any animal or humanoid form of Medium size or smaller as a standard action three times per day. This ability functions as a polymorph spell cast on itself at its caster level, except that the dragon does not regain hit points for changing form and can only assume the form of an animal or humanoid. The dragon can remain in its animal or humanoid form until it chooses to assume a new one or return to its natural form.

Song of Soothing (Su): A very young or older willow dragon may sing a song of soothing. This functions as the spell Calm Emotions except: it has a range of 60-ft; it lasts for as long as the willow dragon sings; fey with more hit die than the willow dragon are immune to this ability; and outsiders with the evil subtype are also immune to this ability. The save against this effect is listed under Song DC. It is a move action for the willow dragon to begin singing and while singing it may not use its bite attack. A willow dragon may only perform a song of soothing for 2 rounds per age category before ending the song and once it ends the song it may not begin another song of soothing for 1 hour.

Woodland Stride (Ex): A young or older willow dragon gains Woodland Stride as the druid power of the same name.

Song of Healing (Su): A juvenile or older willow dragon may sing a song of healing. All living creatures, within 60-ft, able to hear the dragon’s song gain fast healing equal to ½ the dragon’s age category while the dragon is singing. No creature may heal more than its maximum hp from a single willow dragon’s song of healing in one day and a willow dragon is not affected by its own song. Outsiders with the evil subtype, undead, and deathless which hear this song and are within 60-ft of the willow dragon take damage equal to the willow dragon’s age category every round instead of gaining fast healing. This ability affects plants despite them being objects. . It is a move action for the willow dragon to begin singing and while singing it may not use its bite attack.

Transport Tree (Su): An adult or older willow dragon may teleport themselves and their tree once during either equinox or solstice as the spell greater teleport.

Fey Form (Su): An adult or older willow dragon may use its Alternate Form ability take the form of a fey creature of extreme beauty. This functions as Alternate Form into a nymph except: male willow dragons may use this ability to become a male creature whose surreal beauty is equivalent to that of a nymph’s; while in this form the willow dragon gains a deflection bonus to its AC equal to its Charisma modifier; while in this form the willow dragon gains both the nymph’s Stunning Glance and blinding beauty abilities. It does not gain any other abilities of a nymph.

Song of Growth (Su): An old or older willow dragon may sing a song of growth. The willow dragon may target a number of plant creatures equal to its age category within 60-ft of it with this ability. The targeted plant creatures are affected as if by an Animal Growth spell that affects plants instead of animals for as long as the willow dragon sings, and gain fast healing as if from the willow dragon’s Song of Healing ability during this song (they may heal their hp from this song 1/day and from song of healing 1/day each). Non-creature plants within an area in which the willow dragon sings for at least 10 minutes will grow twice as much during the next year; no non-creature plant may be affected by the willow dragon’s song of growth more than once per year. It is a move action for the willow dragon to begin singing and while singing it may not use its bite attack.

Song of Ending: A great wyrm willow dragon may sing a song of ending. The willow dragon may either affect all creatures, except for ones it specifically designates as exempt, or affect only creatures it specifically targets with this ability. Whichever it chooses, targeted creatures must make a Fort save each round the willow dragon sings or take 2 negative levels. The save against this effect is listed under Song DC. It is a move action for the willow dragon to begin singing and while singing it may not use its bite attack. A willow dragon may only perform a song of ending for 1 rounds per age category before ending the song and once it ends the song it may not begin another song of ending for 1 hour.

Spells: A willow dragon casts spells as a druid of the listed level.

Spell-like Abilities: 1/day Shambler (ancient or older; may not use this ability again until all previously summoned shambling striders are gone).

Skills: Heal, Perform, and Survival are class skills for a willow dragon. A willow dragon gains a bonus to perform checks equal to its age category.
