Ichneumon! Slayer of Dragons!

>>51509850
The exact opposite of Dragons.

They are helpful creatures that enjoy the company of others and give treasure they collect out for quests.

This leads to conflict with Dragons who wish to hoard the treasure but Ichneumon's are immune to Dragonbreath attacks and deliver bites that can puncture dragonscale with ease.

They're also magic casters, but don't shapeshift.

So, they're basically East Asian dragons?

If east asian dragons cover themselves in mud as a form of armor to protect themselves while fighting dragons who they hate for the sake of hating, and are also immune to the stare of the cocatrice. And can't fly. And have an even number of legs.

Then yes.

This is cool. Will use in next game.

Dire mongoose. That is all.

Yeah, but imagine if one of those mountain-range scale ultra-super-great dragons had an equivalent mountain-range mongoose.

Just imagine that's a thing, every so often the great dragon wakes up, unfurls wings so great they cast entire kingdoms into shadow, and just when it's about to destroy the world in fire, an equally huge mongoose comes out of nowhere and proceeds to wrestle it.

Just as a background element to a setting.

Maybe a "forest" area where people live in amongst its fur like fleas.

>Dragons are colossal snakes
>Icnheumons are giant mongoose

All done.
