In Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), a Pseudodragon is a small, intelligent, and magical creature resembling a tiny dragon. Despite its name, it's not actually a true dragon but rather a distant relative. Pseudodragons are popular as companions due to their friendly demeanor and innate magical abilities.

Physically, Pseudodragons are about the size of a house cat, with slender bodies covered in scales that range in color from reds and blues to greens and browns, often blending with their surroundings. They possess leathery wings that enable them to fly short distances, although they are not powerful fliers. Their most distinctive feature is a set of large, expressive eyes that allow them to communicate emotions and intentions nonverbally.

In terms of behavior, Pseudodragons are curious and mischievous, but they are also loyal and affectionate to those they trust. They are highly intelligent creatures, capable of understanding languages and even forming telepathic bonds with their chosen companions. While they can communicate verbally in Draconic, they typically prefer telepathy when conversing with allies.

One of the most remarkable abilities of Pseudodragons is their innate magic. They can produce a gentle, calming aura that affects creatures within a short range, making them ideal companions for spellcasters or adventurers seeking to soothe tensions in stressful situations. Additionally, Pseudodragons can deliver a mildly poisonous sting with their tail, which they use for self-defense or to incapacitate prey.

Pseudodragons are often found in the wild, dwelling in forests or other secluded areas where they hunt insects and small creatures. However, they are also sought after by wizards, sorcerers, and adventurers as companions and familiars. Building a bond with a Pseudodragon requires patience and trust, but those who earn their loyalty gain a steadfast ally and a source of magical aid in their adventures.
