NIILAS (NILS)

Name: Niilas, called Nils for short

Age: 20 Human Years

Species: Norwegian Ridgeback.

Gender: Male

Nils is Arlettes first dragon who arrived at the Sanctuary when he was approximately 6 or 7 human years. At age 19, she was the handler on duty when Nils was brought in, exhausted from being blown off course and with an injured wing. She helped wrangle him into a paddock and fed him. When asked for a name to identify the injured and weakened Norwegian Ridgeback, she called him Niilas, shortening it to Nils, hoping the name would inspire courage in the dragon

Over the years, she's worked tirelessly without fail to bond with and care for Nils, earning a small degree of trust with the dragon *as in he won't immediately try and torch her...if she stands still too long it's a possibility)

Now Arlette is an senior handler, Nils lives in a very luxurious paddock on the Sanctuary. Out of all the adult dragons, Nils is the one who is best behaved, having the least escapes and incidents to his name.

Nils cannot be transferred and released back to the wild due to an injury sustained in his wing that brought him to the Exmoor Sanctuary.
