#Flight Rising Merrigan

[seafurina]

Merrigan redesign approved by my dad lmao (he's a marine biologist) They're sooo much fun to draw my goodness

I tried not to deviate from his original design too much, but include more cetacean/dolphin features, hopefully I did okay

If I had a nickel for every time a virtual pet website held a site-wide item collectathon to try and figure out what's going on with their water god that introduces a character with multiple pronouns and winds up granting the players a new aquatic subcategory of Obtainable Guy during June, well. I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

"We got it done as quick as we could Captain. One of our delivery dragons will be there shortly. We just hope we got your likeness right considering we don't know what you look like yet..." - End of correspondence between Onomatopoeia and Captain Merrigan

Posters such as these have begun showing up in flights surrounding the Water Flight's territory. Newly arrived Captain Merrigan features in these motivational or encouraging posters.

NPC: Marrigan!

I scried and tried to replicate Merrigan from the Unfathomable Odyssey event and now I'm working on a breeding project to make them an actual dragon! I have a pair that can give me the right colors, I'm just waiting for them to be ready to breed!

(Had to take some creative liberty in the apparel choices, but I think I matched their aesthetic well)

Hi. I am pitting bad bitches against each other.

Do the tierlist yourself here!

[zef-r]

all you bitches talking about "why couldn't they just give us the breed we can already see them" should take some cues about appreciating the journey from wayfinder "transitioned from only caring about the treasure to an appreciation for the natural beauty they saw" merrigan

[enteragoodnamehere]

unfathomable odyssey more like. triumph's unfathomable queerness.

(alternate title if I cope and seethe hard enough I can make Merrigan a fat genderqueer butch but unfortunately for everyone else involved triumph's types happen to be both "fat butches" and "pirates and other naval dragons").

Exhausted/tired/fed up Merrigan my beloved

[oopsiespooks]

made merrigan into a small transparent image for the old oaks discord to use as an emote, feel free to yoink

[dragons-hoard-of-fandoms]

They and Patches are dating.

[dire-vulture]

on a more positive note too i think i'm just gonna shoutout some appreciation for the NPCs... I really adore Sage, Susie, and Higgins's designs and I do feel like they genuinely considered the feedback after Baldwin's slimmer redesign.

[zosonils]

of course you have denim primary and pronouns

Dive 3

editor's note: i love his excited little face so much. i love you merrigan

Merrigan: This is it! I must admit, I'm looking forward to seeing Oracle's Heart up close. It's unusual to find volcanic vents so deep in the Abyss, but the higher temperatures make for a stunning array of diverse wildlife. We've seen so many awe-inspiring sights on these dives! I could travel a hundred generations over and still never see anything quite the same. Oh, and err... we'll keep an eye out for more treasures to collect here, too, of course! I certainly wouldn't ever, uh... forget about that! Shiny trinkets and biodiversity aside, what a thrill! Your support has been instrumental in keeping these dives going. There's more to be done, of course, but I just wanted to take a moment to thank you before I plunge back into the depths with the others. Even if we don't find the Tidelord today, I hope you're proud of everything we've accomplished. I don't know what news awaits us in this—hopefully—final dive, but whatever it is, we'll face it together. I wouldn't have it any other way! Wait... what are all those bubbles? They're coming from that dark shadow over one of the vents—is that... a cave-in?
