Sabretooth Dragons

Sabretooth dragons are battledragons used primarily by the SDS. The colour of their scales range from red to yellow. They have stubby wings.

Quenelda de Winter rides a Sabretooth battledragon, Two Gulps and You're Gone. His tail was broken, but mended by Tangnost Bearhugger, and Quenelda de Winter. Two Gulps cost five thousand gold guineas, and took five years to train.

Quote from The Dragon Whisperer
"Tangnost froze. Sabretooths were notoriously highly strung. They killed at the slightest provocation, and ususally could only be handled by the master with whom they had bonded, or by those esquires who had raised them from the egg. As injured Sabretooth was twice as dangerous."

Quote from Lucinda Hare's Blog
''Sabretooths are used to hunt hobgoblins in their caves, driving them up and out into the waiting maws of the SDS Dragon Lords on their Imperial Blacks. They can carry two up, a pilot/rider and a bowman. With their stocky powerful build and small powerful wings, Sabretooths are ideal for manoeuvring in confined spaces. But, on the downside, because of their stubby wings they cannot fly very far or very fast, and are often transported on battlegalleons or on the backs of Imperial Blacks. Their scales can stop an arrow but not a cleaver or spear thrust so they have to wear additional heavy dragon armour. And as everyone knows, Sabretooths are *very* temperamental and difficult to handle. Only experienced esquires and above are allowed to handle and groom them."''
 * "Sabretooths are cave dragons
 * They are coloured from gorse-yellow through to flaming red tail
 * They are of stocky build and have small but powerful wings
 * They have huge incisors - all the better to eat you with...
 * They can flame up to fifty strides
 * Their hide is scaled like a snake rather than armoured
 * They have huge hind feet with six sharp talons to mash and crush hobgoblins. You can hear the thunder of their feet as they approach
