Ketagon...

Entry for icestorm's contest...

Ketagons aren't dragons, although they resemble true dragons more closely than many creatures that are more closely related to dragons. They are only half-alive, with the voices, souls, and partial appearance of dead children. They are created when an innocent child's soul loses its way and stays around for too long. Each one carries a clock of some type, forever stuck at the time they died. They tend to be lonely, and desperate for a friend. Many Ketagons are destroyed because they kidnapped a living human child to be a playmate. Guess this one's identity, win... stuff. I haven't decided what yet. (hey... his clock is off...)

OH YAH, and I made this up, so you need my permission to use it. Nyeh.
