Sunev

Sunev of the Perel is Ree's tiny sample of draconity. He is roughly the size of a fawn, which makes him normal adult size for his race (the Perel dragons). (This measurement is snout to rump, so it leaves out his long tail.) He has four legs, two wings, and a fondness for all things apple.

All Perel lack the vocal cords required for speech, limiting their vocalisations to trills and hums. However, Perel senses are approximately equivalent to those of humanoids -- they can see and hear just fine. Most Perel don't know much of spoken language but are capable of learning. Sunev is able to scratch his own name in several forms of writing and mostly follow human conversation, which makes him an ideal sort of diplomat for his people.

Sunev's intelligence appears to hover between that of a stupid humanoid and a clever beast, but this may be affectation. Either way, he uses what he has in attempts to get apples, his favourite treat.

Telepathy is not native to the Perel, and being contacted by that method hurts their heads. Their brains aren't wired for for that sort of language and can't fully process it. Mind contact using images and other sensory input doesn't cause this problem.
