Suggestions

I was looking at the different dragon breeds and what elements they come from and realized that some of the elements have only one breed that originated from them, while others have 2-3.

I'm fully aware that this site is always changing and adding new breeds (especially with the lore and now ancient breeds). I find that incredibly exciting and something to look forward to!

I would like to propose a dragon design for the Water element. (Mainly because I haven't come up with anything just yet for the elements yet.)

I've personally always loved the Guardian dragons, but some how I have had to remind myself that their design was meant for the water. Nothing wrong with their design in general, however, when I think water, I think of lots of fins and flippers and the Guardians don't exactly meet that image for me.

So my water dragon idea is like...a Plesiosaurus. Or something kind of like Pokemons' Lapras. I just love the idea of a long necked creature with a big body and four flippers. I think this shape would be easy to create your own version (Kind of like how the Wildclaws look like dinosaurs while not being a specific type of raptor but having similar aspects).

Other water type concepts could be:

--Kind of like the Lochness monster (more serpentine or similar to the Spirals with a heavier focus on fins).
--Turtle-ish-shaped. I went to an aquarium today (probably why I'm suddenly thinking so heavily about these designs; lol!) and I saw a fossilized turtle, but it's head reminded me more of a dragon than a basic turtle. It was really cool!

Either way...these are just ideas running around in my head. Feel free to use these ideas. I'm just eager to see some new breeds come out that come from the elements that are missing secondary species!

I went ahead to jot down the current dragons and what elements they originate from so that we can kinda compare what has been made already.

DW, all the new breeds coming out have been confirmed to be for Flights who currently only have 1! They're focusing on them before any with 2 breeds.

That said, I've supported a water ancient who looks like a turtle before and I'll support it again. I think it'd be a great chance to get a wingless dragon who still has an easy place to put the secondary gene, that looks cool while doing all that.

What Recallback said (also bogsneaks aren’t 1/2 light and wildclaws aren’t 1/2 plague wut are you on about)

I’d like a water ancient to be some kind of giant sea leviathan with a flipper tail (like a seal so they could crawl on land)

It isn't clear...in my opinion.. --Wildclaws say right in their encyclopedia that: "The Wildclaw breed originates from Shrieking Wilds where its population remains abundant. This species has begun to expand into new domains, the most notable of which is The Wandering Contagion." This tells me that Nature (Shrieking Wilds) and Plague (The Wandering Contagion) are the two main elements that the Wildclaws can be found to originate. But since Nature came first, I assume the Wildclaws are Nature first and Plague second. Unrelated to the above response: As for your suggestion of seal-like flipper tails, I'd be up for that kind of body shape too! Seals and walruses have interesting shapes that could really add to the uniqueness of a new water species.

I'm still ever more excited about the new dragons. I also definitely agree that a turtle shell would be a different feature to have other than wings, for why not? XD

Bogsneaks are equivalent to the Neutral element as seen in Coli enemies, because the breed was accidentally created via Alchemy.

Regardless of where the population expanded to, Wildclaws were created by the Nature deity, so they are a Nature breed.

[/quote] Dude, bogsneaks have been specifically identified as non-elemental breeds MULTIPLE TIMES Don’t try to shove them into fitting into an element origin because the point is that they don’t have one Also wildclaws can’t be part plague just because they live in the territory. Dragons of all breeds live in all regions. wildclaws were originally created by gladekeeper. That makes them nature. Plaguebringer didn’t create them. Therefore they aren’t plague. Element isn’t about association, it’s about the gods specifically shaping dragon breeds out of nothing Ik this isn’t the point but you’re really irritating me
