User blog:DreamingOfDragons72x2/Logical Dragon Summary - Stoker and Sharp

If you have read my previous blog and want to help, this is for you! And something else that ocurred to me after I ended the other one: If anyone would like to make an attempt at drawing my dragons, that would be greatly appreciated! I don't have the time, talent, or technology to make my dragons and make them look exactly right, and everyone else that I immediately know actually has a life.

Now then, for appearance... All of the above is based on a value system of 300 total. If any one of those is 100, the result is what you see. Obviously, only three can be 100 on any given dragon; I wanted all dragons to have something from every row, so the maximum number is actually 95. The dragons have ears encircling the back of their face, like the rays of a sun; when they are long somewhere, it pushes around the eyes and whiskers. "Merging" means...let's see, how do I describe that...if you added those three numbers together and divided by three, and the result was 95, the wings and the legs are merged together all the way to the claws. Lesser numbers are various lesser versions of that. Oh, and a side note - all these dragons have four wings like a dragonfly and flap them in the same way, and unless otherwise noted all dragons have cobra hoods and can rattle their tails like a rattlesnake.

Time for the first two classes. Why two? The way I have it set up, each dragon has an opposite. So a class of swimmers would have an antithesis class that never gets in the water. In fact, I'm starting with that. First up, Bork's first class of dragons...

Stoker

The two Logical dragons that fit here both have high amounts of Fire/Lightning when compared to Swimming. First up...well, Hiccup introduced Dreamworks' smallest dragon first, so I might as well follow suit. Neither of these dragons have names yet, so you're warned.

Don't let the label of "smallest dragon" fool you: it's not much less than half of the average weight (which is 50 for the mini version and 12,500 for the jumbo version). All the above stats are at 59 for this dragon, except for Swimming which is only 5. Therefore, it cannot swim, hates rain, and would rather starve than eat fish. All dragons with a stat of 5 also have an interesting exception built in, however; this one has the ability to run on water. This thing basically only has ears on the top and bottom thirds of its head; its eyes are right at the center line of its face, and bulge out to make it look psycho. Oh, and the lack of water skill also dries out their firebreath; instead of a stream or stream-inspired breath of flame, this dragon spews burning clouds of soot. Don't breathe in, or you're done. It also has tail spikes, but they also are dried up; when it shoots them, they splinter on impact. Nasty. Species: Hooded, Rattling, Spiny, Swamp, Arctic, Vulkan.

The other one is the average size. Its stats are 41-all, except for Fire/Lightning which is 95. It doesn't much like fish, poultry, or rabbit, but it will eat them if nothing else is available. It's not all that sneaky; it practially glows, and it crackles when it moves. When it wants to catch prey, it has to move fast - and can it ever! It's the fastest dragon on land. It has one hundred whiskers, which it uses to sense thunderstorms and prey. Of its six species, one does not have spitting venom to light; that version can crack sparks off its fangs, and can even manage to spit raw lightning on occasion. Another species has no tailspikes, no claws, and hardly any teeth; like the Monstrous Nightmare, that one can set itself on fire. The ones that have spitting venom can get off six shots with it; the ones with tailspikes grow sixty of them at a time.

Tidal

The antithesis of the Stokers, these two have their Swimming and Fire/Lightning stats reversed. Largest first this time.

This one's about half again as large as the average. Its stats are 41-all, except for Swimming at 95. You'd have a hard time getting it out of the water, and it loves fish - not quite to the exclusion of everything else, but there'd have to be absolutely no fish before it would touch anything else. It's slow and very clumsy on land, and it won't dig or fly unless it absolutely has to. Five of its six species have extremely inky spitting venom (which, yes, it can light; even underwater, for a little while), and the one that doesn't is like the Scauldron, except it really doesn't have venom. Five species have tailspikes (including the Scauldron-esque), and the one that doesn't has the interesting quality of swimming in reverse; when it swims tail-first, water pushes through the empty shafts where tailspikes would otherwise grow, and this makes a haunting noise that carries for a very long way. Interesting note: this dragon's eyes are on the sides of its head despite the exact placement of its larger radial ears, but those eyes are split so that it can look up and down with them at the same time. The disadvantage of that is that it has a blind spot (basically right in line with its eye), but it can look for fish and enemies at the same time when it floats on the surface.

The other Tidal is average size. Its stats are 59-all, except for Fire/Lightning at 5; it is very, very slow on land, although it can fly, swim, and dig with respectable speed, and it has no whiskers. It has the best camoflauging capability - not quite to the extreme as the Changewing, but passable for the environs it lives in. Like the Changewing, it doesn't breathe fire: it spits acidic venom without lighting it. This venom has different properties depending on species. All species have tailspikes, but they are blunt. Species: Hooded, Rattling, Spiny, Swamp, Arctic, Vulkan.

That's good enough for now...next blog will have two more classes.
