    hearing about the tail makes me think of the potential of a thundermaw rat king. considering how one theory for rat king formation is the grasping reflex of the tail.

    I gotta admit I’m absolutely enamoured with this series, and the more I learn about this world my desire for further details only grows.
    Of particular note I love the shear diversity of body plans we see in dragons, yet they all retain common features that makes them all feel like they belong to the same group of organisms that share common ancestry

    I really wish a dragon hunting game could be made with your setting, your dragons are some of the very best I've ever seen and a game with them would finally give monster hunter a bit of healthy competition, this might be my favourite dragon so far, it's between this and that razor sharp dragon

    God, this dragon is so cool. I've always loved thunder dragons, and the Thundermaw is a perfect electric dragon. I really liked the veilwright because it was a hervibore and much less agressive than your typical dragon, but seeing a long living, agressive, terrifying dragon is also cool.
    Its long lifespan makes me think about how many legendary dragons this species must have. A family that tried to take one down for generations, one bigger than the rest that becomes a myth and is feared even after its death. it just has too much potential. Also, altough they don't live in the same region of the world, I would love to see a fight between a Thundermaw and a Kinsbane.

    I love it when indie creators make some story or story project and actually puts some depth into the world itself whether it may be the people,animals, culture or even the magic system its incredible and because of it feels more real, presenting these fictional things and making it feel like an actual culture,place, ecosystem or anything i just love it and seeing it is just amazing to me

    My interest has been peaked. Considering you’ve mention humans living underground multiple times, did they originally evolve in a subterranean environment in this world? If not I’m curious where they got their start. An open Savannah biome like our world seem far more dangerous when the planets ruled by such fearsome aerial predators.
    Also what do the Thundermaws eggs look like? In my head I’m picturing craggy black or grey eggs to blend into the cavern rock, or a slick black appearance almost like oil over water. Sorry about all the questions, but a darker more realistic setting like this really gets my brain going 😅

  • @throstlewanion
    @throstlewanion 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Really cool dragon! Although I’m surprised that for such a long reproductive rate the parents wouldn’t be more protective of their young. Definitely an easy weakness for humans to exploit

    • @sawyerleeart

      Their biggest Achilles heel!, or the weak link in their armor, like Smaug’s missing scale.

  • @fernando-6742
    @fernando-6742 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Maybe make a dragon that uses metal as armor, or some other kind of material. I’m thinking of the armor wing from HTTYD or something similar. It’s weak without its armor but when it builds its suit it is almost impossible to defeat.

I could 100% see a mix between monster hunter and the Witcher gameplay. But also your ecology is genuinely amazing to me and this is so inspiring for my own worldbuilding

  • @victory8928
    @victory8928 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I love this beast a lot, damn is it fascinating to observe. I have made thunder dragons of my own but they are far more like weasels than electric eels, mostly cause I envision them using their electrical energy to boost muscle activity in order to make up for the energy demands required by such beasts. Doesn’t help that their body is highly insulated (to protect from its own electricity and that of others) meaning that when it discharges, it releases highly concentrated bolts of ionised air. With saliva or other body fluids including toxins they collect from their meals to create noxious clouds to stun and weaken small prey or hinder larger prey. Though they are a whole subfamily compared to the tassled (many are semi-aquatic and in the water act like electric eels due to their long bodies and tails making it harder for them to swim fast)

  • @calebwilkins3614

    Hmm… so this is an animal that is dense it is negatively buoyant in water, but it can fly? I don't think theres any way to make that physically plausible short of mile-wide wings. I understand that you have to bend physics a bit in general to get dragons in the air, but at least with most you can add hypothetical air sacs, hollow bones, and massive wingspans and flight muscles. Here, you only get the last one, and i dont think it’s going to be enough. I think you would be better making the Thundermaw flightless, which also allows you to give it wings specifically adapted for swimming, an idea I've always liked. I really enjoy this dragon design and the lore youve crafted to accompany it - it really is next-level worldbuilding. Hopefully my two cents (if you ever read it) provides constructive feedback on the great work youve done. Cheers!

    • @sawyerleeart
