What are House Dragons?
They're very tiny dragons, rarely growing more than two inches tall. They're called "house dragons" because they are fond of living with or near humans, although they don't always reveal themselves. They know how to stay just out of sight when they want to.
House dragons can be almost any color, even a metallic color like gold or copper. The color of one of these tiny dragons can tell you a lot about his personality and abilities. Red dragons are leaders, purple dragons are artistic, blue dragons are scholarly, and so on.
They will eat just about anything you and I will eat, but they are especially fond of sweets. They love chocolate and candy in general.

The Story Behind House Dragons
And more, and more, and more...
Before long, these little dragons were all over the place! Which was good, in a way, since it meant there were lots of dragons available for adoption. Several people did adopt some of my "house dragons," as they came to be called.
I still have dozens of little dragons living with me to this very day. Unfortunately other interests and tasks have taken me away from my dragons, and I haven't made any new ones in over a year.
Perhaps one day, house dragons will make a comeback...

Are We Mice or Minis?
House dragons are very clean creatures, whereas mice are known for soiling their nests. Also, mice draw attention to themselves when they cause problems for humans. When that happens, humans set deadly traps that house dragons have to watch out for!
Baby House Dragons
Although it would be easy to think of full-grown house dragons as "baby dragons" due to their tiny size, their hatchlings are even tinier. Baby house dragons are very, very small and easy to lose track of.They are almost perfect miniatures of their parents. The biggest difference is that their fangs, claws, and horns haven't grown in yet.
Adopt a House Dragon
We have several house dragons who need good homes. They don't take up much room or eat very much, and they will happily brighten up your desk.To see who's available for adoption, visit Dragonwhimsy's Etsy shop.
