A hill landwyrm’s coloration varies with its surround- ings. Some are slate-gray, while others have brown, red- brown, or tan scales. They appear bulky and muscular, with long, daggerlike claws. Despite their might, hill landwyrms prefer to pick on opponents clearly weaker than themselves. While a single hill giant is a tempting target, a hunting party of giants sends a hill landwyrm into hiding. Some giants capture hill landwyrms to use as guardians or steeds, though the dragons hate this and escape as soon as possible. It is possible for a suitably intimidating individual to humble a hill landwyrm without striking a blow. Hill landwyrms speak Draconic, Goblin, and Common. Landwyrms are cunning, wingless predatory dragons who ruthlessly scour their environment for prey. While some claim they represent a primitive, ancestral form of the true dragons, most dismiss such claims. Regardless of its origin, each variety of landwyrm is singularly adapted to its natu- ral environment. All landwyrms lack wings, but their body shapes vary by type, from serpentine (desert landwyrms) to craggy (mountain landwyrms). They have large, powerful jaws, clawed fore and hind limbs, and thick scales whose col- oration matches that of their natural environment. Landwyrms have stores of great knowledge about their environment, and if approached peacefully and respectfully, they can be sources of great wisdom. Landwyrms can make excellent steeds, though they are strong-willed and independent, so even the least intelli- gent must be treated with great respect, or it will turn on its rider
