fun behaviors to give dragons that aren't feline/canine based

cause as much as i love dragons purring and roaring i wish there was just more variety in how they would act

clacking their teeth together to show contentedness/happiness (budgies)

using tails as a defensive weapon in a whip like fashion (iguana)

twitching to express that they're not a threat to members of their species (hognose snake)

feeling calm when eyes are hooded/covered (birds of prey)

head bobbing as a threat display (anoles/bearded dragons)

flattening neck or sides to appear bigger (snakes/lizards)

mantling over food to protect it from hatchmates (birds of prey)

wiggling neck as a courting maneuver (budgies)

audibly grinding teeth as a warning (macaques)

maintained eye contact as a challenge (gorillas)

pounding wings against sides as a threat (gorillas)

slapping other dragons with their claws when their personal bubble is invaded (seals)

hoards used as a site to impress mates (birds of paradise)

snorting when undergoing heightened stress (horses)

making repeated loud noises with surroundings to establish territory (woodpeckers)

loud constant arguments with other dragons when roosting (bats)

building lairs that cause a domino effect of change in the land around them (beavers)

slapping their tails against the ground/water as a warning (beavers)

wiggling tail tip to attract prey (various animals)

wiggling tail tip as a warning (snakes)

plucking or scraping off scales as a sign of stress (parrots)

raising spines/frills as a response to danger and carrying on with their usual business as they believe they're protected (lionfish)

and im not saying canine and feline behaviors are wrong or bad to give a dragon (people wouldn't write dragons with those behaviors if they weren't fun in the first place!) but i feel for creatures that are mythological giant winged lizards that you can do more and get experimental with it. often the more unfamiliar behavior the more dragony the dragon feels

WHEEL YOURSELF A DRAGON!

First take this classic dragon shape

Second, take this wheel and spin it 5, 7, or 10 times to modify the dragon!

Lastly, bask in your wonderful new child I ended up with a basilisk looking creature after spinning 7 times

Nicky & Henry do some dance practice (plus some of Dickie's earlier lessons... he's a theater kid at heart ok!!) I drew these ages ago but I don't think I shared them in full here. It used to be a running joke with my ttrpg group that Henry just wanted a dance partner who could throw her, so... now she gets one permanently >: )

Bonus w/ Birdie and Dick:

(All characters are from my comic, A Longshot Out of the Birdcage!)

Art tip: gesso your fabric before painting on it

Art tip: if you dilute your gesso with water and paint an entire hat it will take a whole ass 24 hours to dry

Art tip: paint more hats

Silent architects of rot and bloom, weavers in the forest gloom. Threads unseen through earthly veins, conjure life from death’s remains.

In dampened hush where roots entwine, they speak in tongues of arcane kind. A fleeting kingdom, soft yet grand— the ghostly breath of ancient land.
