The Cornelian Bombtail - Dragon Fact File 

The Cornelian Bombtail is extremely rare and sadly highly endangered. This is because their tails, if treated incorrectly, will explode. 

Cornelian Spike, the guy who discovered this, learned this the hard way. The Cornelian Bombtail is endangered because of their tails. This is because they live near the mountains; hard, rocky, spikey mountains. 

Their tales work like thimbles:

but unlike thimbles, will explode if caught in the rock. This will kill the dragon as well as its surroundings.

This is why many creatures, except the Flick, stay away from it. The Flick is a small type of bird that eats the cymites off the Cornelian Bombtail's tail, which bite into it and make the tail blow up. 

Why they eat them? No one knows. Maybe they just knew those little bugs were a danger to their terrain and just ate them to save a million lives.

At Fianna's House

I see flashing lights, as we make our music video about space unicorns!

I feel excited as we begin to film our music video, and I dance like a beheaded chicken with sore feet.

I smell fresh pizza, straight from the oven, being placed on my plate with strips of cheese hanging off like vines.

I hear the annoying whizz noise as barney's drone, strapped to a toy truck, shoots down the hallway.

I taste blood, as I swallow my molar, bumping down my throat, battling with bits of pizza racing to get down.
