Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot.
Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

I just got photos of my cousin’s baby in a vacation onesie that I bought, and the cuteness is almost too much. I now want to buy baby things in every place we go.
