...the merwyrm dragon

when perusing the dragon cave forums, the urge to want to sprite was always going to happen. with saori drawing amazing dragons, and my ability to sketch with visual inspiration, we managed to create the merwyrm dragons, a species that bathe like mermaids and swim and sing like dolphins. 

after looking at the "to be posted" list, we realised there were dragons with too many similiarities to give us the courage to post, so we decided the best place to post them was here!

with all credit for the female sketches going to saori, and the male sketches going to me, we decided to share them :P

(the eggs and first!stage dragon also go to saori)

please let us know what you think!

Mature Merwyrm Dragons like to stick to the warmer coast rather than venture into deeper waters. They communicate using whistles and clicks, and you will often hear them singing a haunting lullaby to draw in prey. Tending to live together in pods while in the wild, they like shiny objects and bathing on the sun-lit rocks. The male has razor sharp fins, claws and long horns to protect its pod, while the female has softer, colourful fins to both attract mates and comfort the young.





mature hatchling

Aww...it's a cute baby dragon. It hatched without legs, but its long tail fin seems to enable it to swim just fine. It has grown arms and fins along its back, it must be close to maturing.
