Mt. Mashe - known as the the Bleeding Mountain to locals - is home to many undiscovered wonders beyond it intimidating walls. A fluid like a dark, cold magma seeps from the mountain's crags and is collected by the sanguinite dragons that live in its caves. This fluid then hardens into solid 'bubbles' along the dragon's head and back. Deposits have been found in the caves that resemble the dragon's shape, leading the wizards to believe that it shares some sort of symbiotic life cycle with the mountain itself. We're stumped by the specifies, but luckily we've transplanted the effects to our crystalline habitats, allowing this strange and wonderful dragon to join your park! This dragon cannot breed at this time.
The Bleeding Mountains are likely a reference to the word sanguine, meaning bloody or blood-like.
Sanguinite is a fictional mineral, but the Sanguinite Dragon likely draws inspiration from the real life mineral hematite, which also takes its name from a word for blood and creates bulbous formations such as those found on the Sanguinite Dragon's body.
