Scales dazzle like opals over the shimmering ocean, and it’s crooning call echoes for miles over the sea, a call that excites fishing towns into celebration- for this species is beloved as a bringer of plenty, as its presence indicates a healthy marine environment.
The Holdtaker is a dragon’s dragon. Before storming castles, it begins life as a “squire”, tagging alongside another species as it ages, giving it a unique perspective & skill set taught by whichever type reared it. Be warned-no two Holdtakers are ever truly the same!
The Holdtaker- monstrous in size & worse in manners, this species has taken to stealing metal- which it melts and vomits as molten slag. Very adaptable, they enjoy anywhere where the sun is warm & the air humid. Leather armor is advised to slayers- wearing plate may get you ate.
The Nestnanny is a bird who uses draconic presence to their benefit. They tidy & clean lairs to perfection, removing vermin & even parasites off their hosts. They are small, but boast incredible numbers across the world.
Clatterjaw manuscript, approx. 953 years old. The juxtaposition of the 215 ton bite force & the spindly, delicate legs capture the minds of scholars, who historically feature them as mythical figures. They are Jealous Wrath, immense force held by a thin frame.
The wings of the Spectacled Dreadeye dazzle viewers with their charm- and burden this stealthy sniper with a handicap to stealth. Despite this, they manage to remain perhaps the most dangerous dragon humans have ever encountered.
Quick sketch of a flying Clatterjaw. For a page detailing their wing membrane musculature (in short they can shrink when grounded and expand surface area in the air)
Redo: the Hullbreaker. A colossal arctic dragon known to punish explorers with its heavily calloused wing-clubs, which have the power to shatter ice floes. Hullbreakers are perhaps the only dragon known to take on a Kinsbane & win, thus ensuring the North is free of the tyrants.
Very minor edit, but I redid some details on the back leg of the Gaping Kilnneck, namely adding a patagium much like that found on psittacosaurus. Felt it brought the wing pattern further down the design and thickened the silhouette of the leg
Flexible scale bases allow the Wailing Bishop to raise and lower its armor with perfect control. This is very important during scintillation, to remove sand from the crevices, and to cool down their reflective, silver scales.
Ventral & dorsal sides of the Screaming Windlancer. These sleek dragons are covered in tiny scales, sacrificing armor for agility. For you don’t need armor if you don’t get hit.
Using their wings to catch wind, Screaming Windlancers are the fastest dragons on land. Males grow gardens of curated fruits to house & impress a harem of females during season, traveling far & wide for the most diverse selection of seeds. They’re dreadfully territorial.
Hellmouth are a rare case of a giant mammalian predator in this world, & defend their status fiercely. Resilient to a fault, the hellmouth can endure endless hardship with ease. Slayer Aodh is known for using one to pull his dreadful Meat Cart- sharing in the culinary bounty.
