Surviving a Home-Invading Dragon | Dragonslayer Codex | Rattle Dread Biology | 

One thought I had: what would happen if humans traveling in forests and shrublands use wood chimes? If the local scavengers are conditioned to run from the sound it would help keep the pests away, and it could potentially dissuade smaller rattle dreads from engaging if they don't feel confident in their ability to fight a larger one. And if a nearby rattle dread does decide to challenge what they perceive as a rival, would they give some sort sign? Like a bellow to initiate a challenge? Giving the humans enough time to prepare or just outrun the beast?

It’s just a little hangry

If I was in charge of a human settlement, I would make it a requirement to become a dragonslayer to first kill a Rattle Dread, as there so many of them I doubt just getting rid of one would increase the safety of the settlement by a lot, but it would be a good test to see if the slayer prepared to take on the more dangerous dragons. I love small stories about dragons like Six Cigars, they add a lot of depth and personality to the world. Also, would a Kinsbane with a similar condition be named 500 cigarettes? lol

If you’re cold, they’re cold; let them eat your house

The Rattledread will say “is anybody gonna eat that settlement” and not wait for an answer

This is definitely one of the most interesting dragon designs I've seen in my entire life.

The sound of a group of these dragons approaching your village at night to eat it is a terrifying thought.

Kinsbane's lil bro is adorbale, great job as always

That's damn horrendous, a dragon that's essentially a SHOTGUN?! Unreal and horrible. Would hate to meet this thing

i love the attention to detail with your world building! A less well thought out world would have something like The Great Kinsbane be the most dangerous dragon to humans, and while TGKs are dangerous to be sure, their large size basically ensures that one will never really go out of its way to attack a human, doing so only if provoked or if the human is being stupid. Very similar to Orcas in that they are both massive predators and should be respect, but both (probably) have low levels of human attacks and fatalities but the Rattle Dread, based off its ecology, presents a far more dangerous species. Sure they aren't nearly as powerful as Kinsbanes, but their prey prefence, biology, and ecology basically puts them on a direct path for human predatation. and I like how thats reflected in your world building with the Kinsbanes being somewhat respected/revered, and the Rattle Dreads being mostly reviled great video as always

"what if a dragon and a racoon had a baby and then we gave that baby a shotgun?"

One of my favorite dragon designs that you made. I really like how this dragon gives a feel of how dangerous and unpredictable the outside is to humans great work as always.

It must be quite scary for smaller settlements that don't have many defenses to face this dragon.

Rattle dread has to be one of the horrifying names for a dragon.

I like this dragon, a dragon so hungry, so gluttonous, it eats villages, houses and roads included, a virgin sacrifice to a dragon? nay, it'll eat the maiden alright, but it will eat the stick holding her in place, then the entire kingdom

This is like HTTYD on steroids and I love every bit of it

Six Cigars reminds me of one of those huge old crocodiles that come up in the news sometimes.

So this dragon basically is a bear, porcupine, tarantula hawk wasp(look up what they do and why they’re called that and you’ll understand why their here), rattlesnake, tiger shark(they will eat ANYTHING), dragon(obviously)with a fire shotgun in their mouth That is such a great concept I love it as much the other dragons is your work!

I feel like now we need an Episode detailing the Slayers themselves, Cuz as it stands...They Do slay these Monstrous Beings, I'm super curious what all detailed creative ways they use to bring down these beasts

The worst parts of a Tiger-shark and Grisly-bear + Flight and fast breeding, this things are nightmare

So basically a set of hyper aggressive wind chimes what's a built-in shotgun, thanks I hate it.

Reminded me of my friend Bezelgeuse, styles and ecology-wise.

Now this is my kind of beast!!! Hardy, eats everything, and has buck shot! I absolutely love the concept of this creature. A practically unstoppable brute with a food attitude of a starving grizzly bear times ten!! And the design is badass! I like the woodchime idea! I could only imagine how desturbing that would be on a foggy day...a few distant screams, crunching and splashing... and then the chimes.. A glorious beast! It'd be right at home on Skull Island! Fantastic job as always man! Im excited to buy that model when it comes out! Not to mention the books! (Definitely another top favorite dragon you've done)

This species, is my spirit animal : Doesn't give a sh!t ? Yep. Patient ? Mhm. Food motivated ? Accurate. 1 to 1 recreation of me. Seriously now, this might be one one of my alltime favourite dragons !

An unlikely weapon, but I think strong incense/smoke would be an effective counter. Blinding the dragon and blocking all smell, accompanied by loud noises from all sides would render them entirely cut off from the world. Trapping them becomes easy, as does dodging any attacks along the way.

If it have very good sense of smell, then I guess it’ll be extremely weak to those pepper gun things, and so Peppermen tribe should be pretty safe from those dragons in general. Honestly if those dragons are so widespread, I’d say having some pepper guns in your arsenal is a must have in general🤔

we need a rattle dread horror story

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE You never disappoint man, great job!

Man this dragon sure has the most prettiest wings ever

Great video! I always Remember the famous words of Black knight Yosemite Sam “Dragons is so stupid”. This dragon would make a great city “garbage disposal” - just keep it fed.

Makes me grateful the raccoons in my yard are small and don't have a gun. - Shadow

The babies sound exactly like a crying chicken baby. I would have been lured in and devoured immediately.

This dragon barging into a house: "Honey, I'm home! What's for dinner?!"

This series is like if HTTYD and Monster Hunter had a baby, and it took steroids when it got older.

Okay im absolutly LOVE this Dragon xD The Design is Peak, Love the wing collar and i know inunivers they are a Nightmare to entcounter but when it would come to choose a "companion-dragon" this one is absolut in my top 10 ! And the breath Attack! i hab to think of the Song " Angel with a Shotgun" when the discription droped xD And the welps are adorable in my eyes

please tell us more tales of six cigars and his strange adventures the locals tell of him

LETS GOOO Monday just got much better

Just found this channel from CURIOUS ARCHIVE

woot woot new vid!! i love your worldbuilding and art style.

I saw this one on your facebook page and thought it was really awesome! Big hungry boi!

Been binging this series so am glad tyou're still posting!

bro the Rattle Dread is just a larger scaly racoon

The Rattle Dread is by far my favorite dragon of yours yet! Love it's lifestyle and that shotgun blast is amazing. Great work as always!

Mom: stop eating junk. Rattle Dread: eats mom and her house!

The shot gun range weapon is such a sick concept

This might be one of my favorites

I like The concept of the rattledread it reminds me of the gronckle .

BABE WAKE UP SAWYER MADE A NEW VIDEO

Fun fact: In Valorant, there is a skin for a shotgun weapon that looks like that dragon (the weapon's name is Judge).

Dragon with the shotgun.

Literally the leopard of the dragons.

If Tarrare was a dragon

Texan dragon

Bazelguse theme intensifies

I can't wait to see the halltaker video or another gigant video

He’s just a hungry boy

A wonderfully brutal dragon!

People often dismiss generalists but time and again they are the survivors over more specialised animals and groups

i tried to say “chew tree trunks” and couldn’t either so don’t feel bad 😭

NEW SAWYER LEE VIDEO LETS GOOOOOO

I think what you should do is put a bunch of legos all over the floor.

I just found this channel 🙃 And love your Video

Yes finally! My favourite dragon finally!

Love these videos, they're so well made. Keep up the good work!

HEY SAWYER! I was wondering, have you thought about making a fully ariel dragon? Like it NEVER touches the ground aside frome breeding

I’m so excited for the book you have no idea

Ngl I'm still waiting for the next episode of the giant codex.

Damn, that one would be a great introduction to a ttrpg in your universe

Id love it if he wre to dive deeper into the actually world of dragons

if there gonna be a book about this well take my money

Cool

So it's just a bear dragon?

You posted this while I was in school but I’m here nooowwww

The bear comparison seems quite apt. Explosively powerful, but usually alone and thus vulnerable to group tactics and other strategies. Something I was wondering while watching though is whether a RD is ectothermic or endothermic? It seems to have traits of both.

The heat from the rotting meat is what incubates the eggs?. So do the parents just keep finding freshly killed things then js.. lay them on the eggs to warm them up?

Curious. Rattledreads are cosmopolitan. . . but where did they originate from?

This one strikes me as the "boar" of your dragons, high reproductive rate, opportunistic, widespread, consistent interaction with humans

giving me Great Jagras flashbacks

Am i the only one who thinks this dragon looks and functions in its ecosystem like Bazelgeuse from monster hunter world?

More engagement

what the homeless man buys after i give him money 7:58

How to turn your dragon but it’s dark fantasy

Wow

Ahh, love this 😊

Bezelgeuse is that you?

could you please do fumehorn next

chihuahua documentary

Shotgun dragon

I am ao hungry I could eat a house!

So cool❤

SAWYER LEEEE !!! MAKE A VİDEO TAHT İNCLUDES THE MANATEE DRAGON İN İT AND MY LİFE İS YOUUUURS

So the dragon equivalent of a Texanised Detroit Flying Bull-shark, goat, impala(?), Crocodylia. Neat I like @Drakonslayer777’s description better, as it’s more terrifying.

I do think that a whip with a steel end Would be the best wheapon to deal with these home Invaders.

I've missed a few videos :/

Sir I do not think that there is a "neck" on this dragon

I can pet it?

case oh

There's some weird pausing in this video

Engagement

Trash can the dragon
