Dragon sicknesses/mental illness

Prickle berry sickness

* This is caused by a dragon eating a prickle berry. Prickle berry's are safe to eat as long as they are light purple but if a dragon eats a dark purple one they will start to have hallucinations and throw up chunks of purple. The purple throw up is cause by the dye that came from the dark purple berry. As long as they keep food down and drink enough water they will get better after a few weeks. To stop the nausea they need to chew on some timber roots.

Lindwrum poison

* This is caused by getting stabbed or pricked by a Lindwrums spikes. This is fatal for humans no matter what they do but as long as a dragon can suck the poison out in time before it gets to their heart they won't die. They will be sore for a couple of days but they just need to put some monkey paste on their sore limbs.

Ruby poisoning

* This happens when a dragon eats a ruby that has gotten infected by something coming from the rain water and digging itself inside of the crystal. The symptoms are dizziness and sore throat. Soon after a few days the dragon will lose the ability to use its arms and legs. The next step is the failure of the heart. If they do not treat the dragon before that stage the dragon will die. How they treat it is they first get a ruby that is not infect and grind it up. Then they get some decker fruit which grows on trees next to streams that are guarded by pixies. They are hard to get since they have to trade pixies to get one. then squeeze the fruit juice in with the ruby dust then stir it gently till it's consistency is like pudding. then quickly give it to the dragon to eat, it will taste really bitter and but smell sweet. This is how you can tell you did it right, if it doesn't smell sweet and smells more like fowl meat then it's not good to use.

Claw ripping illness

* no dragon knows how this happens but the nail biting illness is where a dragon uses their teeth to pull their claws out. Sometimes if this goes to long it can cause permanent damage to the dragon or every prevent them from being able to walk. Other symptoms that come with this is random mumbling, fowl stench coming from the dragons body, and sometimes the dragon even naws its tail off. Not one has survived past a week with this illness.

Golden sickness

* This sickness is caused by when a dragon eats a piece of gold or gets infected by it. This causes the dragon to go into madness and to start to collect or search for gold. Most of the time theses dragons get kicked out or leave their clan in search of gold. They will destroy a village looking for it and even go to a kingdom and get their selves killed for it. This is a reason why many clans stay away from gold mineshaft's and live else where.

Fumble grass virus

* This is a virus that is caught by having contact with another dragon. This almost wiped out the dragon clans a long time ago. This virus cause dragons to roll around in grass and devour it but if they see something move that's alive they immediately attack trying to kill it.
