Animal Basis: Komoto Dragon

Title: Nidhogg (derived from Niohoggr, the dragon that eats at the roots of Yggdrasil in Norse mythology)

Threat rating: Higher than the standard Grimm creatures (Beowolves and Ursas), but still lower than a Nevermore or King Taiju

Appearance: Like a normal Komoto Dragon, scally with slightly sagging flesh, black like all grimm, and with rd light glowing dimly through thin cracks in their skin.

Average size: Around 1.76 metric tonnes, and around 2 meters tall, as well as 6 meters in lenth: around the size of an Ursa, maybe slightly smaller, but not by much

Attacks: Toxic saliva that slowly weakens the opponent, and can even melt through certain metals over time, a tail whip attack, which is made to quickly stun an opponent or knock it off its feet, normal slashes w/ its claws, sneak attacks where it'll sneak up behidn an opponent, spit on it w/ its toxic saliva, then pounce on it, in an attempt to crush its victim by smothering it.

Behaviour: Very sneaky and subtle, as well as very agile, though not the fastest. Generally will sneak up on an opponent then attack it.

Armors: Sometimes a thick and heavy bone mask on face, though mostly not. However, their skin is very thick and leathery, able to withstand most gunfure and small attacks.

Strengths: Resistance to small arms fire, and small attacks (like Weiss's rapier, or Ren's pistols). Also effective against blunt attacks (Nora's hammer), as well as opponents with low awareness to surroundings, due to stealth tacticts. Fire-resistant

Weaknesses: Large hacking or clearer-like weapons (such as Qrow's giant sword), as well as attacks to its upper spine and brain stem with balanced wapons (like Jaune's sword), but only to that specific location. Enemies with high area awareness are also a weakness, as they can nulify their stealth tacticts.

Variants: A slightly larger version with bony armor plates around its body, a smaller and thinner variant, which usually sneaks into cities or urban environments, then creates trouble once inside (infiltrator/sabotour).

Additional notes: Fire-resistant skin, stunned by explosives, but not easilly killed by them, despite its weight, it can climb up buildings and large trees rather easily.
