The Antipodean Opaleye is a breed of Dragon native to New Zealand, although it is known to migrate to Australia in search of territory.[1]
Description and traits
The egg of the Antipodean Opaleye
It resides in valleys, which is unusual as dragons typically reside on mountains. It is generally considered one of the most beautiful dragons, with pearly scales that line its body, and glittering multi-coloured eyes that have no pupils. The Opaleye's eggs are pale grey and have been known to be mistaken by Muggles for fossils and its flame was vivid red.[1]
The Opaleye is not particularly aggressive, rarely killing unless it is hungry. Its prey of choice was sheep, but it has been known to attack larger animals. In the 1970s, several kangaroo killings were thought to have been caused by a male Opaleye that had been ousted from its territory by a dominant female.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Antipodean Opaleye as seen in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite
- The dragon that was chained in the Gringotts vault shares the same characteristics as an Opaleye, although the dragon is believed to have become pale due to a lack of sunlight. It is revealed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, however, that the dragon guarding the Lestrange Vault is actually a Ukrainian Ironbelly.
- It is possible this breed was somewhat inspired by both the Taniwha and the Rainbow Serpent, New Zealand Māori and Australian Aboriginal deities with high cultural impacts.
