Sea Dragon Fairy

 This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 3000 coloring pages that you can print & color.

Today's new drawing is of a type of Fairy that lives by the ocean.  

Marinia the Sea Dragon Fairy

Marinia is a Sea Fairy. Sea Fairies live near the ocean and have special adaptations for living near the water.  Like Merpeople, they can breathe underwater.  They have specialized lungs that can extract oxygen from air AND water.  But unlike Merpeople, Sea Fairies don't usually live IN the ocean.  But they DO live close by the ocean.  

Some Sea Fairies, like Marinia, are on very friendly terms with Sea Monsters.  These are also called Sea Dragons.  These Sea Monsters get a bad rap.  They are actually quite friendly with Merpeople and Sea Fairies.  Sea Monsters only attack mortal ships when they, the Sea Monsters, are threatened.  

Sea Monsters have their own kind of magic, and especially an ability to make mortals forget that they saw a Sea Monster. Of course, Sea Monsters don't always use this amnesia-causing ability, which is why there are old legends of Sea Monsters.  They were seen much more often in the age of sail and whaling because the Sea Monsters were sometimes mistaken for whales and attacked by whalers. 

Marinia is a beautiful Sea Fairy, but since she is especially friendly with the Sea Monsters, she is also called a Sea Monster Fairy.  She can fly through the air with her wings and fly through the sea with her wings... like a penguin does.  She often takes care of a Sea Monster Mother's single egg when hatching is imminent.  That is what she is doing here.  She will help raise the young Sea Monster until it is big enough to swim the oceans with his or her mother.
