Really interesting theory. People rarely talk about all the dragon mentions in the Sky games and even less so in the other arcs, but the facts you highlighted certainly lend credance to the possibility Falcom plans to do something big with them at some point. I never payed much attention to the western dragon vs eastern dragon split present in Trails since this is something also seen IRL, but there definitly seems to be more there under the surface than I initially gave it credit for. That said, I'm not sure I'd exactly call Argres a unicorn. I always saw him more as a draconic turtle, which not only fits with the idea of the dragon Zoro-Agruga being it's "kin" (How that works exactly when one's a holy beast and the other a cryptid is still unexplained. Cryptids as a whole remain unexplained, really) and with the master card art of the earth septerrion in Azure being represented by 2 turtles (possibly Argres & Zoro-Agruga?). Honestly though, beyond the theory, the most impressive part of this video is all the research done into the weapon/armour/item descriptions. I always knew some of them had really interesting points, but actually going out of your way to remember and compile all the important ones for the topic at hand is genuinelly amazing. I'm definitly gonna keep a closer eye on those descriptions next time I play one of these games.
Yeah Argres design is pretty wild but it is confirmed he is a unicorn though. Not only is the unicorn mentioned within volume 2 of Erebonain folklore, but it also gets mentioned in passing by Emma (trailsinthedatabase.com/game-scripts?fname=t1010&game_id=7#612) and Old Lady Daphne (trailsinthedatabase.com/game-scripts?fname=t3040&game_id=7#3) in CS II. I think the only reason why Zoro-Agruga looks so dragon like is because it did emerge from the ground so it's possible that the septium veins affected it's appearance if we assume my theory of septium being dragon souls is correct anyway. Haha I can't take all the credit though, the trails wiki is an amazing resource when researching stuff. Sadly from Daybreak and Kuro II enemies don't have descriptions anymore. I'm currently documenting all the enemies from both games and no dragons or anything that resemble dragons have been encounter yet. Though that could easily change with Kai.

Excellent video, extremely well researched and well put together. Kudos to you for the awesome theory!
