Baby Drake! All before their spines grow in and they become an absolute terror.

Little Wyvern, stomping their feet!!

It's the first day of Smaugust!!! I am very happy about that!! This year I'm drawing chibi dragons!!!

I saw a picture of a bird drinking, drew a Wyvern, very happy with it.

I wanted to make a sea monster... That is all.

I really do like this image, not the best in terms of perspective but I'm learning.

The reason the coloured image with no line art looks different is because I had different lighting at the time of taking photos of this wyvern.

Storm Chaser! A Wyvern I created based on a post I read about scientists recording the speed of winds during a storm, but caught the speed of a bird going by. Obviously the bird was soaring faster than normal due to the speed of the winds, so why not create a Wyvern that hunts like that on purpose? Follows storms/senses when they're forming and uses the wind to increase their speed to help them hunt?

This is Kraggle, I don't know if that's gonna be the species name or the name for just this one. But this is Kraggle, be nice to them and say hi please.

So a while ago I watched a video of a person explaining dragon fire, how it would actually work scientifically as a use and how that would affect the creatures biology. One of their examples of a "real life use" was via the Bombardier Beetle and it's chemical attack.

Now, I've watched this video several times and I never thought about the impactions, I was more focused on what the video was telling me... Until today. I finally realized that "wait, they tell us in the video that this beetle and its chemical attack is so loud that if you upscaled the beetle to the same size as the loudest aircraft on record at the time , it would be louder".

The beetle would be louder... So a dragon... At that size, or bigger using whatever version of fire or chemical attack would be extremely loud. I think you need ear defenders to be near that kind of plane, so could you even be near a dragon? Not even in fear of them attacking, but just the byproduct of them using their ranged attack and how loud it is.

How the heck do you deal with that???

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

Gecko dragon, well drake, nothing more to say.

This design came from a local legend mixed with Artemis of Greek mythos. My friends and I made up our own god sonas based on interests and personalities. I kinda want to use them for my fantasy world but I don't know what to call them or what exactly in the world they would do. Any suggestions?
