The Starlight Trout

*Habitat:* The Starlight Trout is found exclusively in the crystal-clear streams and rivers of the Emberhaven, a secluded valley within the Drakon Spire mountain range. These waterways are fed by natural springs and snowmelt from the surrounding peaks, creating a pristine and tranquil environment.

*Characteristics:* The Starlight Trout is a rare and majestic species, prized for its exceptional flavor and unique characteristics. Its scales shimmer with a subtle, iridescent glow, reflecting the colors of the surrounding environment. This phenomenon is due to the presence of microscopic, luminescent organisms that inhabit the trout's scales.

*Behavior:* Starlight Trout are a solitary and nocturnal species, typically active during the twilight hours when the valley is bathed in a soft, ethereal light. They are skilled navigators, able to dart and weave through the rocky streams with incredible agility.

*Diet:* Starlight Trout feed on a variety of aquatic insects, crustaceans, and small fish, using their acute senses and lightning-fast reflexes to catch their prey.

*Rarity:* Due to their limited habitat and selective feeding habits, Starlight Trout are extremely rare and highly prized among the dragons of the Emberhaven. Tharros's success in catching one is a testament to his skill and knowledge of the valley's secrets.
