He is a well shaped regular sized brown dragon with strong musculature and strong wings. He is intelligent and strong. Personality: Tandth's temperament is perfect for his rider. In fact Tandth has a calming influence on V'drel something no human can succeed in being. Where his rider has a quick temper, the brown has a slower temper. The one drawback is that Tandth is a more social soul which V'drel respects. Though a gentle soul by nature, Tandth is not afraid to make his own wishes clear to his beloved rider in very clear terms. For instance, when V'drel was shopping for a firelizard egg, Tandth ordered that the flit not be bronze. Tandth got his way.
