Character by Adam Magnum.
The Ruuvik, commonly known as "The Shepherd's Shadow," is a versatile, dog-sized dragon used for both companionship and utility. Visually, they possess a classic dragon silhouette with four limbs and a tail, covered in sleek, warm-hued scales ranging from desert gold to russet. Their expressive, intelligent eyes—typically in warm browns or blues—give them an eager, approachable appearance. Their most distinct feature is their specialized wing structure: they can fold their wings completely flat against their flanks, allowing them to sprint through dense brush or navigate tight corridors without snagging.
