Hearth Wyrm

Hearth wyrms are common household pets in Tyrth. These tiny dragons never grow more than a few feet long, and are generally harmless - though they do need to be handled with tongs or special heat-proof gloves for safety reasons. They make their nests in hearths, where they constantly coil around each other and emit heat from their smoldering bodies. They're highly useful in the winter seasons where they can keep a hearth fire lit and tended with minimal supervision, and are a favourite pet of innkeepers and blacksmiths (or anyone who needs a constant and even heat source).
