A Guide to Dangerous Dragons 

And you can turn their face into a one-handed switch axe.

And they will fight you if they think fighting u will be cool, absolute gamer mentality

Gigachad of the dragons

can we just call them "Gigachad Dragons" please?

@@Pigen_ imagine if you challenge one and it just let you go, that would be so bad.

But when you think about it, more muscular dragons would not really make sense and it will slow there flying. But I agree with you!!! I love muscular dragons and I think there should be more.

But they also could have stronger wings but idk

The creatures here look like monster hunter monsters

I imagine the dragon would flap once and it would propel itself up in a powerful movement, so you can see the muscle on them in their flying

@@alorianimz87 I think these designs are actually pretty reasonable by dragon standards. For one, I get the impression many of these dragons- particularly the heavier species- are primarily terrestrial. Like the hullbreaker is described as "gliding" rather than truly flying. The ones that do seem to rely heavily on flying are comparatively slim even by classic dragon standards. The exception to this is the Great Kinsbane, but most of their bulk seems to be in the chest and wings, which is where it will do the most good keeping them in the air. Something the size of a dragon would need extraordinary flight muscles anyway.

scarlet lashers and wailing bishops are my favorite dragons the scarlet lashers give me vibes of the monstrous nightmare and the rattle dreads remind me of the gronckles .

'But are they Real? like YOU and us~' - [Bones].

i hope tha a story book comes out of this one. it clearly could deserv it.

'-Some people say you should have 'No [Wish]-granters'. Some people say you need to have the right '[shapeshifting] dragons'. All we know is that YOU are Not an Illusion. Understand? This 'world(s)'|'existence(s)' around you, the 'people' you meet- they're a little Thin, right? Cardboard and Drywall. Cheap theater.' - some [Bones].

So it IS "yes" for the Book?

Dragons are pretty based.

Which projects are you thinking of? Just curious, I might’ve missed one.

Rur! ^,..,^

I love dungeons we should combine our two loves and make something maybe we could call it dragons and dungeons I'm sure it's never been thought of before we will be filthy rich mate

Dragons are pretty overused tho But am I gonna complain if I'm being offered a good Dragon related work? Of course not

The curious is a cosmic entity that explores secret realms in all parts of the cosmos, creating an incredible Archive for the world to see via a popular platform. Just had to do it!!

He's like Pariah in DC comics

Or no, he's like Metron, observing and collecting information

The Templin Institute leaves their bestiary fieldwork to him. ;D

canonically the worlds he explores exist in the Archive

That would be interesting 'cuz elder dragons are designed NOT to make sense in biology unlike flying, brute, bird, and picine(I don't know how to spell) wyverns which are somewhat [realistic?].

It would make an entertaining video though.

@@thyomnipotentgalacticpickl2188 Several of them do (To a certain extent), many even have coherent and visible taxonomic relationships and clear evolutionary histories that explain their strange anatomies or powers.

@@gloomyallo1830 ok you're right there ARE exceptions

@@gloomyallo1830 as long as I can remember there are wyverns that descend from elder dragons.

"...extremely Dangerous. Kill On Sight!" 🙂

Xd

Me tooooo :D!!!

Know why this was mentioned It feels like HTTYD and hope it gets a video as well

This sounds awesome

Yeah I’m glad there’s also creative non dragon creatures in this world. Usually the other animal species in a world of dragons are just common earth animals like cows and sheep 😂

@@unselliecontinents3338 Now you mentioned it, it makes sense other animals would evolve with dragons to either survive or hunt them.

@@Martin-yh7vi yep, it makes no sense for only dragons to be fantastical

Tf you trynna say, I'm surprised people understand

@@047cjoshuaanthony6 bro same this man having a seizure

He also made the Dwarves in the form of the Ana'aku.

@@ryonhatcher4561 They're not really fantasy dwarves like in norse mythology, it's just a name he's given to homo eretus.

Who would win . The dragonslayer codex vs dragonology ?

in the first minute of this my first thought was monster hunter.

@@joshmerchant8737 when he said explosive slime I was like that sounds like my favorite brute wyvern.

The weird weapon that turns into a blade from an axe is literally a monster hunter reference.

The last one reminds me a lot of the Diablos lol

Maybe they have them, but the dragons hides are too tough or thick for standard projectile weapons short of siege engines

They do have them. They have records of a Great Kinsbane face tanking a cannonball. Judging by what is shown I'd say humans are presently in a period analogous to the Late Medieval to Early Renaissance. Dragons are clearly common enough that human cities are mentioned as being built underground. (In the Scarlet Lasher segment) And the dragons appear to be intelligent enough to learn from observation. Inferring they have a sense of object permanence. The main issue with fighting dragons would be that they have many advantages. 1. Flight. 2. Size,speed and strength. 3. Deadly breath weapons ranging from flash melts steel to rot shotgun or electric shock. 4. Thick scales and hide,with some cases being exceptionally so such as the Great Kinsbane and Hullbreaker. 5. Their intelligence. Dragons do get killed despite this,but the teams of slayers still tend to take heavy casualties. Any fight with a dragon is likely to end with death or maiming. While a dragon fighting humans can learn if it survives and is less likely to suffer significant injury. Most dragons will attack from above and besides a shield you don't have a whole lot of options. Attacking from range with a crossbow would be ideal,but you'll be shooting upwards and have to account for its speed,the range, the elevation and the power of the bow. Most shots won't connect at all or will have minimal effect past a certain range. Reloading a weapon good enough for the job will take too long. Around 30 seconds using a goats foot to winch a good war crossbow. Then you need to remove the goats foot,replace the bolt and ready the weapon again to aim. Ammo is also a limited resource. If you're in a fortified position you can hide and reload. But it can also leave or breathe fire into your hiding place. It won't just stick around to be plinked at. And some such as the Hullbreaker will likely come through the walls or roof to get you. Poison could work but you need a delivery method and they are both large and seemingly quite hardy creatures. If you're especially unlucky it may even figure it ate something bad and vomit it up. Or it could smell/taste the poison and just not eat it. Most methods to kill dragons would require a team of trained individuals armed and armoured,aware of the type of dragon,with a terrain advantage and a tactical advantage. Polearms,spears,crossbows,axes and warhammers would be wise. Shields would be very useful in most cases to at least take the brunt of the breath. With armour swinging between covering as much surface area as possible;to staying light and ideally wearing treated wool that's somewhat resistant to flames at minimum.

Its just that writers of fantasy worlds tend to either over estimate or underestimate humans severely. If the humans indeed reached the Iron/Steel age as those drawing imply then those dragons are only to be found in zoos for the most part.

​@@mllhild bro by the time we would have made kingdoms and these fucks showed up my bloodline would not wxist even if we had 16th century tech, good luck aiming scattershot or grapeshot at flying dragons with poison smokescreens without peppering an entire street of people

@@mllhild medieval zoos with fire/explosion proof cages??

Poachers in a nutshell:

The urge to skin these creatures and wear them as armor kinda scares me

​@@monkey1053puts some armor for a spin and throw a body in the bin repeat until you win

I think I saw somewhere that a mutation would theoretically be possible to go from four limbs to six, but as far as I understand it would be highly unlikely. Unfortunately I can't remember where I found this information so it might not be accurate

It's not that unlikely or unusual there are many animal lineages with more than four limbs, it was only by chance our aqautic ancestors had less fins than average otherwise our lineage would have been six limbed , as it stands fish who stayed in the water are generally six or more limbed , the genes exist and there is a mutation other than absorbing a twin, that can cause multiple sets of limbs although usually non functional , there have been several recorded instances most recently I believe a duck between 2006-2016 had four fully functional legs and a set of wings, although it lost a leg in an accident whilst young.

@@melkerahtagadatsoin-tsoin6016 TLDR: there are several lineages on earth with six limbs, and multiple mutations which can cause functional duplicate limbs, genetic bottlenecks and mismatches could propogate them theoretically. (There was recently a fuck with four legs and wings)

you should look into the biology of the Avatar films! they have a whole world where almost all life forms developed six limbs except for the navi people for intelligent diety-related reasons. super interesting stuff.

It would just be a different lineage of fish that moved to land. It would even be possible for both tetrapodal and hexapodal animals to exist at the same time. There would need to be a whole history of this different line for it to be believable though.

Um a he was talking about pythons . And actually yes snakes jaws do unhinge . Only some snakes species can chow . How do you think they eat

@@Bake-kurijra I never said anything about snakes' ability to "chow". Also, can you cite where you got your information about snakes unhinging their jaws? Because all the credible sources (both books and webpages) I've seen prove it is a myth.

@@TytoT-pj9lz yeah. They actually don’t have lower jaw bones that fuse at the chin. Their Lower jaw bones are connected by a ligament that allows them to split their jaws and “walk” their prey down their throats.

@@error404idnotfound3 I. Never. Said. They. Didn't. There's a difference between that and "unhinging" their jaw. It's a flawed term that promotes an anatomical myth.

@@TytoT-pj9lz absolutely was not arguing with you. I am agreeing with you, and providing interesting facts about snake anatomy, dispelling the myth.

I agree

Do you mean the general world of httyd

@@nagendraprasadsingh4489 yes, think; it was about a year ago though.

Fool. There are no peaceful dragons. Forget that again, and they'll surely come for you

Some of the dragons in the codex remind me some of the dragons From how to train your dragon.

1:26 As elegant as they are lethal, the Scarlet Lashers weave through the sky like malignant dancers. Legend says their tail can slice a bison in two, & many Slayers bear marks, amputated limbs, and deafness from fighting these wyrms- for the lashers can emit a sound so loud that it stuns victims and leaves their ears bleeding. Perhaps the most dreadful feature however is their intelligence. Lashers will build traps, pitfalls, and other entanglements to capture and toy with Slayers. Usually this ends with the victim being impaled on a branch of their corpse tree, used to impress mates. I would have to imagine this dragon as a dangerous bloodthirsty feared villain/predator in the Jungle and the Great Grass and given him an individual name "Khan" after the Tiger from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. Like the tiger, the Scarlet Lasher Khan has two sworn enemies in my imaginative take on Kipling's story "Ruby Gillman" the Kraken protagonist raised by the various troll clans in the Jungle, and "Grimmel the Grisly" the overarching Genocidal Poacher from the Village.(plus he too is also an enemy of Ruby while during her time in the village)

My favorite dragons are the scarlet lashers , gaping killneck, wailing bishops , rattle dreads and great kinsbanes the scarlet lashers and rattle dreads kinda remind me of the monstrous nightmare and gronckles.

Have you seen this channel? Htyd is good but not one of the best
