DESCRIPTION: Echidna is a captivating enigma, a majestic serpentine creature whose beauty belies her deadly venom. She protects all forest creatures, but her deepest bond is with the dragons, whom she treasures above all. When an evil Overlord attacked their land, Echidna, a formidable ambush predator, rose to the skies to defend her home and children. She unleashed her venom, paralyzing the enemy, while her dragon children used their fiery breath to destroy the Overlord and his forces.
This story challenges perceptions of beauty and of the powers that lie beneath. It highlights resilience, unity, and a family’s determination to protect their home.
