    Are you gonna publish the dragon slayer codex as a book? If yes I’m gonna buy it.
    P.s I also wanted to know who is the strongest dragon in your series?

    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.

    Me cap’n say he lost his leg from one of these “thundermaws”, (we call em barnacle birds). As soon as he lost his leg one O’ these flame teeth serpents came outa no where and dragged the poor thing to the depths.

    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 😅

    Question: the swallow-tailed fishbird? Did you take reference from the Gannetwhale seen in The Future Is Wild? Because it looks like a redesign of that.

    • @sawyerleeart
      @sawyerleeart  5 місяців тому +3

      It’s a homage to the spec evo trope of fully aquatic birds

    • @t-r-e-x452
      @t-r-e-x452 5 місяців тому +1

      So that trope in general, not just the gannetwhale. Cool.

    • @sawyerleeart
      @sawyerleeart  5 місяців тому +3

      In a prolonged fight- Kinsbane. In a quick encounter, Hullbreaker. Those punches really work against the armor of a Kinsbane as well- in a way talons or fire doesn’t!

    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

    Hey love the content and by some miracle this ends up becoming an indie game in the future (just sayin monster hunter tri only had 18 monsters) I would put my life into this game. 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

    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

  • @fernando-6742
    @fernando-6742 5 місяців тому +5

    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.

    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.

    How do they shoot out bolts of electricity? I get how they can make discharges in the water or shocks with body contact on the land. But how can they shoot it? Do they have to be partially submerged? Or do they have to have their body’s wet enough or something.

    • @roomtempwater1
      @roomtempwater1 2 місяці тому +9

      This is just speculation as he doesn’t say in the video but it’s possible it could shoot out a jet of water that it then charges with electricity from its organs

    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)
