TOPIC | Prosthetic Limb Apparel
1 2 3 4
Many dragons in my lair need artificial limbs. The problem is, there isn't always a simple way to show it.

-UMAs can be expensive, and I might want to put my money elsewhere (for example, genes or apparel). They are also restricted to one pose, and might not be available for less popular poses, like Snapper or Ridgeback M. While it can be useful for Ancients (having no clothes), it isn't always the best option for Moderns.
-Certain apparel can be layered to give the illusion of prosthetic limbs, but this is not possible for certain outfits, as it will cause layering problems.
-Writing it down in lore and/or making art is simple, but some people (like me) prefer for their dragon's official image to be as accurate as possible to their own view.

So, I propose prosthetic limb apparel. This allows for a cheaper option than UMAs, lessens the chance of layering issues, and can be changed if the dragon is given to another player who wants different lore. Each set would probably be three pieces: arm, leg, and wing. Not all dragons have all limbs visible (Tundra and Mirror M poses), so I am not sure if there can be separate apparel for all six limbs. Cursed idea: Scroll of Limb Removal. Removes a random limb. You have to buy the prosthetic limb and/or buy a Scroll of Limb Regeneration, which could either result in a regenerated limb or growing a random extra limb.


Prosthetic set ideas

-Steampunk/Dieselpunk: For those who want something more advanced than wood, but not extremely futuristic. Could be part of an alternate steampunk/dieselpunk set. Either a Lightning invention, or a Fire one.
-Futuristic: Lightning may currently be in the 1920s, but as evidenced by Voltvolley Implements, this is starting to change. The gap for technology is closing, and new, more advanced gear is being invented. Who's to say futuristic limbs are out fo the question?
-Wooden: For the pirate in your life. More mundane than sci-fi/fantasy, but still pretty neat.
-Modern: Based off modern-day prosthetic limbs. More current than the wooden leg, but not as speculative as futuristic or steampunk/dieselpunk.

Alternative idea:

-Magic: Magic leg? Magic leg. Dragons being able to manipulate the elements can lead to some pretty neat stuff. Body horror Plague limb, blacksmith-forged Fire limb, frozen Ice limb, Arcane tentacles, etc. etc. Perfect for mages or magical inventors.


Other ideas or Constructive Criticism are greatly appreciated!

Call me Requacy (Pinging Allowed!)(Note to self: Make art for signature)
As someone with an OC dragon who has a prosthetic limb I would actually love to see this. Every single breed has at least one limb and wing visible, so the art can utilize that, or they can use the back wing if they don't want to compromise the secondary gene for some reason.

this is an awesome idea!! i have some dragons who use the Steampunk items as joint braces, but you're right that there is a need for artificial limb apparel! plus, there are so many neat possibilities for the appearance of the limbs...depending on the dragon's own needs, and what materials are available near their home with which to craft a prosthetic!! i absolutely support this!

Even though none of my dragons need it it'd be a cool idea to add. Just imagine a limb made entirely of crystal or better yet, a limb that is levitated with magic so the joins appear transparent/invisible.

Full support. There could be a set of wooden ones for various limbs or body parts alongside a set of metal or stone or crystal or magic ones [emoji=wildclaw star size=1]
