Introducing the Oriental Serpentfang
Today, I bring forth a hybrid or sorts. It's a rather appealing mix between a Chinese style dragon and a Japanese style dragon. (If the term "oriental" happens to offend anyone, I sincerely apologize. The term is used only the the sense of the definition: of, from, or characteristic of East Asia.)
Anyway, these are my two Serpentfangs, Fei Lan, and Feng Shen.
(No, I do not know exactly what the names mean. I can only guess with rough translation software, unfortunately, so if anyone can tell me the meaning, that would be beyond awesome.)
Stats:
Class: Tidal
Attack: 15
Ground Speed: 10
Flight Speed: 12
Armor: 17
Firepower: 12
Shot Limit: 8
Venom: 0
Jaw Strength: 8
Stealth: 10
These tidal class dragons hail from the far east, many days journey on dragonback away from Berk. Their long bodies are filled with muscular ribs, making them extremely flexible. Their preferred method of attack is to coil themselves around their enemy until it asphyxiates or submits, and their full length allows them to encircle all but exceptionally large dragons. When facing a foe too large or too quick to entangle, these dragons can expell large gushes of a special mucous from their midgut, which ensnares and slows their prey. While harmless, this mucous is extremely viscous and difficult to remove. By contracting their long throats, they are able to regurgitate large amounts of swallowed water at high pressure to jettison at their foes. The force of this expulsion is sufficient to dent a thick iron plate. Their bites are quick and sharp, and their teeth are quite long, with fangs at the forefront of their jaws, and chewing molars toward the back.
This dragon's method of flight is extremely bizzare. Like birds, their bones are extremely light, but durable. A special organ dominates as much as 3/4ths of this dragon's body on both sides of its lungs. These organs appear to be adapted swim bladders. During flight, these modified swim bladders fill with a potent combination of lighter than air gases, including helium, methane, and hydrogen. These gases appear to be produced naturally as a result of their digestion process, and are then diverted to the swim bladders. Because so much of their body weight can be supplemented with these gases, the Serpentfang is capable of flight in the same way that a blimp is. Their bodies undulate from side to side like a snake, and these movements provide the propulsion needed to move while in the air. These traits allow them to fly without need for wings, but truth be told, they would much rather swim or bask in the afternoon sun.
The Seprentfang is an omnivorous dragon, but they have shown distaste for certain types of fish, (like pike, salmon, and tuna), and some types of grass. Bizzarely, this dragon will actively eat venomous fish and reptiles, and will chew on poisonous plants. It is unknown exactly why they do this, but after doing so, they can be observed thoroughly grooming their scales, sometimes for hours at a time. Their temperaments can range from relatively docile to extremely fierce.
Of course, this is an adoption.
Rules:
1. These will most likely be a rather limited dragon. I don't anticipate much popularity (considering that they bear no resemblance at all to a night fury, and most of my non-night fury like adoptions have met with rather limited appeal). They cannot be bred, and they cannot be readopted. If you wish to give up your dragon, notify me in this thread, and it will be put back up for adoption.
2. You may only adopt ONE. This is because I will probably not make many of these, if, indeed, I do make more than these initial seven.
3. You must submit a backstory, personality, and name in your adoption applications. You WILL be critiqued, and possibly even rejected. You have been warned, so try not to get offended.
4: You may not alter the design. Again, be very sure you want the dragon you adopt.
5: You must display your adopted dragon in your signature. If it is not displayed within 72 hours (3 days), the dragon will go back up for adoption. Special exceptions can be made for people who are in the process of organizing their signatures.
6. If you reply to the DO NOT REPLY post, your adoption request will be rejected, and further requests made on this thread will be ignored.
That said, I'd love to see all of these dragons go to a good home.
Also, a note: the body was inspired by a chinese dragon incense holder that I ended up buying. I borrowed the incense holder's pose while making this dragon. If you have complaints... I'm sorry I guess?
This dragon was inspired by goldenfury360, who asked me to draw a Chinese dragon. After that was finished, I ended up liking how the dragon came out, and decided to finish them a little more and turn them into adoptables.
Name: Rialynh Nightwalker/Skyhunter22 on the forums
Current dragon ranks:
Snow Fury (By stellamontague): Winter, white scales with bronze wings, female (very playful, loves goofing off as much as any dolphin)
Deadly Nadder: Garenth, blue gold in color, male (total sweetheart with young dragons)
Wispering Death: Darksteel, orange, blue and white in color, male, (tends to be a bit standoffish but is very friendly with riders he knows)
Gronckle: Phesant, blueish brown with purple markings, male (Tends to be as lazy as a typical gronkle, but is a very sweet dragon like Meatlug)

Speedstinger (not yet hatched in game): Starburst, royal purple fading to marine blue with red alpha stripes, female, (Very loyal and is always ready to help her rider in times of danger)
Soon to join the crew (Hopefully):
Serpentfang: Bril, male, emerald green with rainbow markings, Personality: Very shy at first around strange humans, but very loyal to his rider. He trusts her almost the instant she frees him from the Berserker traps (despite the fact he almost crushed her - see backstory for details) - best friends (or will be best friends) with formation dragon leader Garenth since he and the Deadly Nadder met right away after the rescue.
Just so you know, this is told from Rialynh's perspective so enjoy the story!
I was flying Garenth on patrol with Toothless and Hiccup right behind us. We were out scouting for new dragons when I saw some smoke rising from the trees. I glanced back at Hiccup and gestured down - the wind was too loud and we were too far appart for any communication other than the hand signals they taught us in school back at the Academy. "I saw it too! Good call on the rendevouse. What do you think is going on with all those Berserkers down there?" Hiccup asked me as I landed Garenth on a rocky outcropping on Dragon Island's forest ridge and my Nadder friend barked a greeting at his Night Fury. "No clue, but take a look at that dragon down there. The one with the green scales and the rainbow markings. It looks like some varient on the Grapple Grounder...I think it might be one of those new Serpentfangs that the kids have been yammering on about." I explained as I pulled out a spyglass and recognized one of the rare but still popular new breed of dragon the kids were calling the Serpentfang.
I watched in horror as one of Alvin's goons forced the briliant emerald and rainbow Serpentfang into a cage as the sun fell behind Dragon Peak's crest and I heard both Toothless and Garenth. They were just as furious as I was when I saw how badly the poor dragons were being treated by the Berserkers. "We can't waste time sending Sharpshot back to the others for help. If we don't move now, we'll lose the dragons. As soon as the sun goes down, we move in. They won't set sail until tomorrow." I told Hiccup, not giving him time to protest as I jumped onto Garenth's back and had him glide into the forest to perch on a tree in the darkening shadows. "Alright lads! Get that last Serpentfang in the cage! I want them ready to load up in the morning!" We heard Alvin shout as Toothless and Hiccup apperared beisde me. "Oh man, that's not good! I see at least a half a dozen Nadders, two Monstrous Nightmares and that one emerald and rainbow Serpentfang. I don't wanna know about what they're doing to those dragons." Hiccup muttered as he put a hand on my shoulder to keep me from rushing right into the guards to fight for the safety of the dragons.
"Ugh! I can't wait anymore! We don't move now, we loose our element of surprise! I know there's only two of us, but we can do this! If you and Garenth provide coverfire, I can take Toothless and slip into the camp freeing those dragons as we go!" I protested as the sun set and Toothless rumbled in agreement and Garenth bobbed his head agreeing with my plan - he was one of the best sharpshooting dragons at the academy topped only by Astrid's dragon Stormfly. Garenth could use his tail spines to pin a fly to the wall without killing it at night from fifty feet in the air no trouble, I knew he could handle something as easy as distracting the Berserkers below us. "Ok, ok, just keep quiet and stay low. Garenth and I will take things from the air. Wait for our signal. You'll know it when you see it." Hiccup said with a sigh as he climbed onto my dragon's back and Toothless curled his tail around me nuzzling his head into my hand as we saw the trouble the Nadder began to cause. "Alright, that's our cue Toothless! Let's get in there and bust those dragons out!" I told the jet black Night Fury as I climbed onto his back and let him take us into the midst of the danger.
We had just freed the last sky blue Deadly Nadder and it barked in gratitude as it flew off with the other dragons in perfect formation. I had pulled out my lockpicking kit one last time to free the Serpentfang as it turned it's emerald head to me so that it's rainbow tendrils wrapped around my wrist through the bars of the cage. "Hey there big fella...we're here to help...just give me a minute...mmm - there! What? What is it Toothless?" I muttered as Toothless snarled a warning behind me and I whirled to find Alvin leering down at me. "Well, what have we here?! One of the Academy brats, eh? Back away from the Serpentfang girly! That beauty's mine! It'll fetch me a high price on the market!" Alvin warned as I drew my hunting knife ready for a fight when I heard the cage I had unlocked creak open behind me.
"Oh yeah? I think that my new friend here has other ideas! Toothless, duck!" I retorted as the emerald green and rainbow Serpentfang lunged from the cave. Toothless and I both went flat to the ground as the great beast reared between us and the Berserker leader blasting flame at Alvin forcing him to run for a retreat. "Hiccup! Stay back! I don't think this fella trusts outsiders!" I called as the emerald and rainbow beast of a Serpentfang whirled on me and pinned me down with a talon using its tail to throw Toothless asside like a rag doll. The poor Night Fury managed to right himself before crashing and Garenth bugled in protest. "Garenth, no!" I heard Hiccup cry trying to hold back my dragon as he managed to force the dragon's weight off of me as he snarled a warning.
"Easy Garenth, he was just scared...Easy there big fella...you don't have a name, do you? How does Bril sound huh? It means "wind"...you certainly fight like a twister and fly as fast as a gale force wind. Here, you must be starving...how does a nice, juicy salmon sound? There ya go...there's a good dragon..." I cooed holding up a hand for Garenth to back off as a silent understanding passed between him and the Serpentfang as it turned its topaz eyes on him. I pulled a salted salmon from my saddlebags as Hiccup did his best to restrain Toothless as I held out the big fish to the wild dragon. The emerald and rainbow head snapped the fish from my fingers and gobbled it down in one bite. I held out a hand to the dragon as I had with Garenth when he had first hatched back on Berk.
"Ok...well, that was unexpected...I had no idea that you were so good with wild dragons! I guess all that experiance dealing with those Speed Stingers on your home island....." Hiccup commented as Bril pressed his emerald nose into my hand and twined one of his tendrils around my wrist as his nostrils flared taking in my scent....
I hope this story is worthy enough of the #4 emerald and rainbow Serpentfang. I named him Bril because it's Twi'lek for "Wind". Green is usually the color used to represent wind in images anyways, so I figured the name would be perfect for him. I wanted to go for Jiangliu, but since he's so difficult to get, I went for the green one. He's a real beauty and I love his markings (blue is my favorite color, but green is a close second).

Hmm.... I can't really guess what's Fei Lan means but maybe 飞兰？ 飞 (Fei) is Fly and 兰(Lan) is a kind of flower.
And Feng Shen... Maybe It can be 风神 or 凤神？ 风(Feng) is Wind 神(Shen) is God/supernatural and 凤(Feng) is phoenix 神(Shen) is God/supernatural.
I know Chinese/Mandarin (language) and I just guess it 'cause they looks like the pronunciations of Chinese/Mandarin words. Hope this help you :D
...Pheonix God/God Phoenix sounds awesome. XD Wind God sounds pretty cool, too.
Thanks. =3
You're welcome :D
This is awkward seeing my name being used in different ways xD
YES! ANOTHER PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS CHINESE!!! FIST-BUMP!
Also, NightmareRebuff? This is one of my personal faves. Again, thanks for the help with my history fair!
Also... I agree with what you said about the translation. Lan also means break/destroy, but Fly Break sounds weird to me. ;)
Lol :D Calm down *fist bump* Not just could understand Chinese/Mandarin, I'm a Chinese too!
YEAH! We could be bffs. XD
I've not met many other Chinese speakers here!! Whoop!!
Yay :D Nice! 还有谁也会讲?
Fly Break... Sounds like some kind of anime technique. A crazy overblown one, at that. XD Or maybe a skill in a video game. A quick-time skill.
Anyway, I should certainly hope it's one of your faves. =3
First off I loove Chinese dragons. Their so beautiful and different from English and the other types. Their more serpentine and are often considered wise and good. It's said they bring good luck or fortune to those who see them.
Name: Polaris (I just love this name, as well as stars and I couldn't find a Chinese one that fit just right)
Number: 5 (the blue boy)
Gender: Male
Personality: Polaris is rather peaceful and loves floating. He is a deep thinker but isn't one to share his thoughts so when he does speak we listen. He can be odd as he often floats upside down or randomly into things. He let's children and young dragons ride him, often giving them short flights on his back. He is ever calm but there is a deep will inside him. When he gets motivated or upset it's like a fire is lit inside him. He is merciless and fierce in battle and when he takes on a quest or job he finishes it. Polaris has no sense of time, is intrigued by snow, and likes to chew on things when he's stressed or bored (usually my rafters). He treats humans and dragons alike and that is with respect and warmth. He also isn't sure about sheep. He thinks they might be demons in disguise so he avoids them.
Backstory:
I sighed softly as I reached the peak of the small mountain and looked about me. The view up here was breathtaking. The day was halfway over but I was glad to have no the other half still. My eyes hungrily ate the view up. I was scanning the valley below when something blue and colorful sparkled from the trees. I watched and thee it was again. After a quick drink and snack I began my hike into the valley below. I wasn't worried about getting lost because Leirazva my Skrill would find me when he woke. No I was curious.
As I slowly made my way down I often caught glimpses of something sparkling. Was it a vein if some blue rock that caught the sunlight? Was it some animal I'd never seen before? It could even be a dragon never before seen. We'd taken a few day vacation and flew as far as we could. Even Hiccup hadn't mapped this area. It was kind of thrilling to think I was seeing something no Viking had seen before. I paused for the occasional drink of water and in a few hours made my way into the valley. I was almost skipping as I came to the trees that I'd seen the light.
I frowned softly as I found absolutely nothing. I looked repeatedly but I couldn't find it. With a sigh I headed towards the crystalline Lake that wasn't far from here. As I broke through the trees my eyes were blinded by the rainbow of colors. When my eyes adjusted I was looking upon a long Serpentine creature floating above the water. He was a deep shade of blue with a rainbow of scales along the bottom of his neck, belly and tail. He had golden horns that one might we on a deer, as well as long whiskers and a tiny beard that matched his blue body. He has four legs spread out in two pair at either end of his serpentine body. His tail was of a blue flame and flickered idly. His eyes were closed but I got a sense of age and wisdom when I looked at him. It was his scales glinting in the sunlight that I had seen from the mountaintop. Boy was it a sight!
I laughed softly as I watched him. I'd forgot to mention that along with him floating above the water, he was also upside down. He reacted to my laugh by opening one green eye and staring at me. I shivered as we stared at each other. This being was ancient. He slowly turned over and came to land on the edge of the lake. There was an utter grace to him as he strode over and stopped a few feet from me.
I didn't know why but I felt the need to bow to him. So I did. He nodded his head approvingly at me. "Hello ancient one. I come here for water." I trembled lightly as I held up my empty bottle. He peered at it and me and then stepped to the side. His tail flicked in the path and then away as if to warn me from doing anything. We were both on our guard as I walked to the lake and sat down. I lightly sipped the water and found it good. So I filled my bottle and put it in my satchel. When I turned around he was inches from me smelling me curiously. No not me. My bag. I looked through it and can out with some freshwater fish I'd gotten in a river this morning.
The Dragon happily ate the fish from my hand and rumbled softly. I fed him the other 3 peices I had saved and reached out a hand to his forehead. I touched his forehead and he looked at me interested. He seemed to not know what I was doing. Okay if he was a dragon then he wasn't like the ones around Berk. I cautiously put my hand behind his ear and scratched. He let out a loud rumbling purr and seemed to be floating inches off the ground. The Dragon rolled over and I scratched his long belly affectionately.
After about an hour of petting on him he righted himself and offered me a leg. I climbed on and looked about. How did I stay on? Then his long whiskers twitched my direction and I knew to hold onto them. I tugged lightly but he didn't seem hurt or uncomfortable. Before I could think to ask him where we were going, we. We're on our way. We floated up like a balloon towards the clouds and he slowly undulated back and forth like a snake. He seemed to swim in the air from side to side and rather quickly when he wanted to. The Dragon, who I mentally called Polaris took me through clouds and under them and all about this strange land. I called him Polaris because he was a bright shinning star that wasguiding me today. We lost track of time and would have kept on except a Golden Skrill was suddenly in our way.
I looked about realizing it was already dark and Leir had come for me. I started to say something but the two dragons rumbled softly. The Dragon snorted a puff of smoke but nodded his head. Then Polaris followed Leir back to our camp where a pile of fresh caught fish and a warm fire was. He let me off his back and floated over close to the fire. I went to Leir and thanked him for the food and warmth, as well as for being so good with the new dragon. When I looked about Polaris was fishing out his dinner from the stream nearby and then he floated back over by the fire. He stretched and slowly floated to the ground where he snored lightly. I do cooked my meal and curled up with Leir as I did often.
Polaris stuck with us for the rest of the trip, always watching and following us. The two dragons took turns with me and it was quite a fun adventure. When I came home I had artifacts and presents for everyone, as well as a new and rare dragon. Polaris had taken a liking to us and decided he wanted to stay on at Berk for a time. Life is never boring here on Berk. Later on I'll have to tell you about the time Polaris whomped on my Speedstinger Hermes when he kept harassing him. Just because Polaris seems peaceful doesn't mean he's a pushover. Oh no, he's a fierce Dragon when angered. Good thing he doesn't get mad often.
I know this was rather tame and peaceful but It came about because of the Dragon (Polaris) he molded the story as I wrote it. I'd intended a short scuffle with him but when do dragons ever listed to their authors. I hope. This gets me one if not Ill keep rewriting but I must have one of these! Omg! I'm in love seriously. Lol sorry. BTW any errors or bad grammar is because my keyboard autocorrect is evil and messed up. It may be trying to make me crazy. No joke.

Hmm.. I have but a few complaints;
Whiskers are not to be held. When riding this dragon, ideally you ride on the neck, just behind the head. Rather than grasping the whiskers (which are quite sensitive. It's kinda like having your hair pulled), the rider should be situated in such a way that they grip the horns while riding. These provide a more stable and insensitive grip. Behind the head is the area of least movement. This dragon undulates when it flies. Like a sidewinder. If you were to ride on almost any other part of the dragon, you would be flipped off or lose your grip. There's simply too much movement going on. If you need an example of rider position and movement, you need look no further than Haku from Spirited Away. The movement is quite similar, and the way Chihiro is situated is ideal for a body that is always flexing around.
The tail does not end in a flame. XD It's just a very oversimplified tuft of fur with some gradienting to look more interesting.
In any case....
Congratulations.
My apologies for my mistakes. I honestly didn't know how one would ride a oriental Dragon. That's quite interesting to know though and if you'd like I can edit my story to fix this. Also I wasn't sure if you were going for fire or hair on the tail. It had an almost flame like wave to it so I took a guess.
Thank you so much for him! I quite enjoyed writing this story and hope you enjoyed reading it (even with my errors. Lol). I will. Take good care. Of him. I'm going to add him to my signature after my nap (haven't been to sleep and it's 7 am). Also may I add his name and yours in text on the white part of the image? I try to have this done for every image in my siggie. I won't edit or do anything to him other than that.
No need to change anything. Just things to keep in mind.
The picture is a transparent .png file. I usually do this to get rid of white background... but you are more than welcome to add whatever text you like.
Oh my! These look absolutely amazing! Gonna try for #1. ;w;
Name: Yin
Gender: Male
Personality: A young, peaceful, goodhearted soul. He willingly serves as the guardian of the Henan tribe. He is skittish around adults, but he's willing to show himself to some children of the tribe.
Back story:
There was an old Henan legend. A legend that depicts the existence of an ancient mythical creature with antlers resemble those of a stag, a head that of a serpent, with eyes those of a demon and a neck that of a snake. Its vibrant reddish scales were said to shine during the day, and it almost never shows up at night. It could fly, but, not with wings. They believed that it had magical powers that were given by the gods, enabling it to reach great heights.
Spotting this rare creature were said to bring good fortune and an auspicious life to a person.
Little did the people knew, this creature was none other than a young dragon, who goes by the name of Yin. Yin isn't capable of speech nor directly engaged the people, it's unknown to him at how the tribe had acknowledged his existence. Instead, he'd occasionally swam in the The Lotus Springs. The springs were considered holy, and its water were said to contain healing properties, enough to cure complicated illnesses. Some people from the Henan tribe would ascend to The Lotus Springs to collect the pristine, fresh water, trying to cure their dying loved ones as a last resort.
Being somewhat timid, he would gracefully soar into the sky when spotted by the Henan tribe. His feathery serpentine tail leaves behind a trail of shiny mist behind him. The locals whom witnessed it would feel enlightened and consider themselves fortunate.
The dragon was a kindhearted soul. Occasionally, he helps lost tribe children that were left behind by their parents during the hunting season. The dragon would willingly carry them on his slithery, crimson red back to bring back the children to their residences, or near their relatives. The children would then tell their parents that an "angel" had brought them home.
The local tribe occasionally brought their offerings in form of fruits, treasure and tokens of luck to the springs, most likely to summon or invoke the dragon. The dragon silently floats in the twilight sky around the springs, using the cloak of the incoming darkness to avoid being spotted, he waits as tribe people dimmed their lights and their general noise quieted down, then the dragon would kindly accept the numerous offerings that were given to him.
Every night, he resides in his shelter, within the ancient ruins all the way above the misty, chilly hills. He would look below at the silent Henan tribe. So subtle, and sleeping soundly. Whatever the tribe depicted him as, luck bearer, mysterious flying serpent, an angelic creature it all doesn't matter to him.
Yin truly believes that he was put onto this land by the celestial beings above to serve as the silent guardian of the Henan tribe.
He would like to keep it that way and truly wishes to serve his purpose for many, many years to come.
(Sorry if it's simple, I'm having a block right now, kinda feeling blue lately. ;m;)
Not bad, for someone having a writer's block. XD
Interesting to note though, Yin is actually the negative force in Chinese philosophy. Yang is actually the positive force. :P
Congratulations.
Thank you so much! ;w;
About the name, wow, I'd actually didn't realise that at all. (I wasn't thinking straight.)
Idk, Yin sounded simple. Maybe Ryujin should be his full name.
It's pretty ironic when you think about it, this dragon, Yin, is a positive, goodhearted soul, whereas Yin, in reality, is personified as the negative energy.
*derps away*
Rebuff (Can I call you Rebuff?), I just want to post mine here. I need to make sure I deserve my dragon as well. I wanna write. Meet... Ispy. (Note: She helped me in a project, and she gave me this dragon. Please, don't pester my friend.)
Name: Ispy (Read as "I Spy")
Gender: Male
Personality: He is a wise dragon, but extremly curious as well. He also is trying to find the ones like him... (PUTTING HIM IN A FAN-FIC!!! "We Are Not Alone." Trailer in sig.)
Story:
I jumped off the cliff. Yeah, deal with it. It was fun. Especially when you have your dragon with you. Spinning in the air, I saw Lovestuck flying with me. She grinned, and spit out a puff of gas. Instantly, everything I loved flashed in my mind. I smiled. This is how I live. A warrior, a survivor, a daredevil, and the occasionally crazy person. Lovestuck caught me, and she spread her wings. We shot up, and into the sky.
Suddenly, I saw a man wrapped in a cloak below. Normally, I would ignore the people. I didn't want to bother them. But... he was different. He wore a long cloak covering his face, and from what I could see, those weren't Viking folk words. They were... different. Yes, I'm totally creative with words, but he was just different. Plus, he was pulling a cart that wasn't from around here, and the cart had a crate. And the crate was shaking. "Lovestuck? Dive."
I landed, and I smiled to him. "Hi!" The man turned, and stepped back in shock. The words on his cloak glowed brighter, then faded. That is not something I see everyday. The hood fell off his head, and I looked at him. "You definitely are not from around here." I smiled. His eyes were different, and they where more foreign. He stepped back, and he seemed like he was hiding something. "What do you want? A trainee from the 18th order? A friend of Zhang?" He backed up to the crate, and the crate shook some more. I raised my hands. "Whoa. It's ok. I won't hurt you." He gritted his teeth. "Well, you better leave. I don't need you here." The crate fumbled in his hands, and Lovestuck looked at him. She growled, and looked at me. Danger.
"I have a question. What's in the crate?" The man looked at me, and clutched it. He smashed his hand on his lid, and the crate stopped shaking. A moan sounded from the crate. Faint, but I could hear it. "Nothing special. Be gone, fool!" I studied him. "Then why were you clutching that crate? Surely something you desire. I heard the crate moan. The must be something in there. Something living."
Suddenly, the words on the man's cloak glowed. "YOU WILL NOT HAVE HIM!" He shouted, and green liquid surged into his hands. "LOVESTUCK! JUMP!" I dove to the side, and the liquid splattered the tree behind me. The tree rotted, and sizzled. Acid? I looked back. Around the man, green liquid bubbled and erupted from the ground. He smiled. "The Golden Hand will always prevail, boy. When we find the stone, it's game over. It's just that we need some tools." I drew out my shield, and it instantly got coated with copper. "I don't know who you are, but I can guarantee that you're up to no good." I whipped out my fire and ice sword, and charged.
He was fast. I was faster. He shot globs of acid at my face, but my shield blocked the shots. He then fired another, and I turned it to steam with flames. I then jumped, and turned his acid into green ice, trapping him in his own creation. "What are you hiding?" I smashed the ice with a sword swipe, and aimed it at his face. He smiled, then Lovestuck clutched his cloak and ripped it off his body. The acid turned into dust, and he shouted. "Non-magic vermin!" I jabbed it at his face, the flames an inch from his face. "What is in that box?" He hissed. "Nothing you Vikings should care about." Suddenly, ice shot down from the sky, and shot the man's hands. He dropped the box, and snarled. "ZHANG! WE WILL HAVE OUR REVENGE!". The man then clutched a pearl in his hand, and crunched it. He then disappeared.
I looked up, and a dragon and a huge bird descended from the sky. The bird shrieked, and a girl jumped from it. The dragon descended, and I realized that the boy was wearing a white tunic, with an icy glove in his hands. Plus the dragon was sorta made of ice... and it was wingless?! The girl turned to me. "Pyre. Is he gone?" I looked at her. "Who?" She rolled her eyes. "The man. Is he gone?" I shrugged. "Dunno. He crunched a pearl. I have no idea where he went." She looked at the boy. "We lost him master." Lovestuck wrapped her tail around me as a source of defense. I needed it. After just now, I need to be a bit more wary. "Feiling, you did well. The warrior took care of him. Dismissed." She bowed, then the huge bird clutched her shoulders and they took of. I snarled. "Who are you?" The boy smiled. "That is something you don't need to concern." This time, I rolled my eyes. "Well, I totally don't have to worry! Unknown person tries to kill me, and people who are dressed and look like him come down from the sky. Totally nothing to concern." The boy raised his eyebrow. "You are ignorant, and talk back. I like you. Whatever. You have the crate, right?" Oh yeah. The crate. I looked back, and I picked it up. He smiled. You deserve it. Keep him well. "Wait. Wha-" As soon as I turned back, the boy left. I looked at the crate. "Him?" I muttered in my breath. I then cracked open the crate, and a wingless dragon flopped out, it's snout wrapped in rope. It resembled a purple lizard, yet it had horns and a mane. He looked up at me, and purred. Then, the tiny dragon waddled up to me, and rubbed it's snout on my knee. Lovestuck looked at me, and I looked at her. "Well girl? Looks like we got a new friend." She smiled, and the baby dragon started flying. Wait. FLYING?! I looked back, and I realized that even though it was a baby AND it didn't have any wings, it was flying just fine. I stared at it. This was some new stuff. Some new stuff I'm gonna dig my head in. Something... nah. I need some rest.
So yeah. XD
Meet Ispy!
An interesting story, but you've already earned your dragon. XD Anyone who inspires a species/adoptable or helps during the creation process is more than entitled to their own dragon. =3
Cool... Ispy. Hehe. I see why
Tracky traacky :P
I love your artwork Nightmarerebuff!!
ooohh have u recently looked at the nightmare/dream eater fury adoptions? I posted a story a while ago and I wanted to see what you think :D
These look really cool! I'll try to adopt #4.
Name: Lin
Gender: Female
Personality: Lin can be quite stubborn at times and likes doing things her own way. However, she dislikes fighting and will usually try to find a peaceful way to resolve conflict. If she can't come to an agreement with the dragon causing the conflict she will fight until they back down. She likes being in the forest, with the plants and animals. One of her favorite pastimes is swimming in lakes, rivers, and ponds. Her favorite foods include trout and plants with a minty flavor. Lin likes figuring out how things work (mainly human things).
Backstory:
Lin was relaxing in a pool of water fed by the river. She closed her eyes and listened to the birdsong. Wait, there was something else, footsteps. Lin opened her eyes and looked around. She cautiously sniffed the air. A human, how odd. They rarely come here. She got up out of the pool and stretched her long, agile body. Silently, she hid herself behind a large pile of rocks and waited.
The human came and entered the clearing with a black panther-like dragon with silver markings. Both the human and the dragon were female. The human had red hair in a neat side braid and wore durable-looking clothes. The dragon following her stopped and growled uneasily. It had smelled her. The human looked around. She seemed a bit wary but not frightened. The dragon took up a protective stance next to the girl. These two do not seem to be a threat. If they are, well… I can deal with them. Slowly, she stepped out from behind the rocks. The human gasped. The dragon’s growl deepened. The message was clear, she was willing to fight to protect her human companion.
Lin did not understand this new dragon very well. It spoke differently from the other dragons she had met near her forest. She could still make out the general idea of what the dragon was saying though. She snorted. “You’re in my territory,” she challenged the strange dragon. It dipped its head and seemed to be apologizing as it turned to leave. The girl did not move. Of course, Lin couldn’t expect a human to understand her. She growled to let her know that she should leave.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound filled the air. The human’s eyes widened and Lin looked behind her to see a large rockslide headed straight for her. She leapt into the air, struggling to get out of the way. She wasn’t quite fast enough. A large rock slammed into her, and she fell to the ground. She heard a voice as if from far away, “Come on, Luna!” Lin heard a rush of wings and assumed they were fleeing the avalanche of rocks. As she struggled to her feet, claws gripped her spines on her back. She came back to her senses and flew upwards. Twisting her whole body, she writhed out of Luna’s grip once they were high enough and floated beside them.
She noted with some surprise that the girl was riding the black dragon she called Luna. The human stared at her open-mouthed. Luna looked startled as well. Lin glanced down to see the area where she had just been a few moments ago. The grass was crushed and she realized the human and dragon had probably just saved her life or at least from serious injury. Her back talons and one of her legs ached from the rock that had hit her. She moved even more awkwardly than usual because of the pain.
The girl now recovered from the shock of seeing Lin flying without wings asked Luna to move closer; then, she spoke. “Hello. I’m Star. If you want, I can help you with your leg.” Lin nodded and they settled down in the forest not far from the rock fall. Star found some herbs that she mixed and put on her leg and talons. The mixture was very soothing. Gratefully purring, she fell asleep as night fell.
The next morning, she awoke to Star preparing to leave. Making a split-second decision, she made up her mind to join them on their journey. She had been getting a little bored with her ordinary life in the forest. It was time for an adventure. Besides that, she was curious. What were humans like? Where did Star come from? As Star mounted Luna and took off, Lin followed them closely. After a while, the girl realized that Lin wanted to join them. They traveled together until many days later, they reached a place Star called “Berk”. Lin found life to be good on this island. Yes, I think I will stay here.
I'm not sure which culture you're taking the name from, but I'll relegate something interesting that I found:
In Anglo-Saxon the meaning of the name Lin is: Dwells by the torrent. People with this name have a deep inner desire to serve humanity and to give to others by sharing money, knowledge and experience, or creative and artistic ability.
Congratulations.
Thank you!! I was actually taking the name from the Chinese word for forest but I like the Anglo-Saxon meaning better.
No one else wants a serpentfang? I was planning on making a second series.. but.... Hmmm....
Tracking! I'll write a story once I've got some time to. :D
Mind if I try out a few days later? I can't think of a good story and name worthy of these amazing dragons, plus id have more time to think and write after my exams :) Just wanted to say you did a great job on the design and the pose!! I love how the design is so eastern yet the description is totally unique! Now i know how chinese drgons fly, i though they flew by the power of the pearl most chinese dragons have XD
Cheers,
Glacecia =^-^=
Sure. XD
I'm glad you like the design. =3
I'm not actually sure how chinese dragons fly. I would assume it has something to do with magic, (as dragons in many eastern cultures are regarded as the pinnacle of magical creatures, associated with wisdom, longevity, luck, and a host of other things), but for the purpose of an adoptable release, I thought up a more scientific explanation on the fly. X3
Its really creative, the two organs filling up with light gases...never would have thought of that myself!!
A named diety dragon has appeared, having travelled many moons to seek a worthy companion.
The dragon is called Zhanhuo (戰火), "flames of war". He is fierce, warlike, and hot tempered. This dragon comes from a line of Serpentfangs said to have died out long ago, who can draw upon the ancient magics often associated with their species in the lands from which they hail. His body bears a nebulous pattern resembling the Witch Head nebula. Zhanhuo can summon the power of fire. Do you have what it takes to make this fierce diety dragon your ally?
one bump before catching a few measley hours of sleep
Oh my. The beauty.
I may try to adopt Zhanhuo soon. ;3;
I'm gonna try to get Zhanhuo... but could I add a bit of my fan-fic mythology into it?
(Basically, in my future fan-fic, there are 6 elements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Light, and Shadow), all ruled by a god dragon, or one of the great six. Recently, Hyrith slayed the Shadow Queen "Nexus" (long story short: She wanted to kill Hyrith and Berk, for they were her only threats) , and because of her death, the rest of the 4 (except the light one, who is on Hyrith's side) are out to kill Hyrith. The Fire Dragon, Huolin, was the most destructive (killed their parents while working with Nexus), and he wants revenge. This is the first time he attempts to kill Hyrith, and he turned one of the Serpentfangs into a fire-born. Fire dragons are extremly aggressive, and will never turn down a good fight. This is his story...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zhanhuo... one of my mother's decedents... My king paced around, beating his huge wings. He glared at me, and grinned. I rescued you a long while back, now you need to return the favor. I hissed, then dove to the kings feet and bowed. I was one of his favorites, the warrior who never disobeyed my lord. I grinned. Maybe one of the best. It isn't normal when you slay 2 rogue bewilderbeasts.
"My orders?"
You know the golden runes? "
I growled, flames licking my skin. There were multiple reasons why I hated them. They were Valkyrie blessed, but the Alpha status bothered me the most. After Xeon created this ability to his "spoiled ones", they have been creating Alpha dragons en-masse, stopping all the deeds of what we were doing. Thankfully, that had been taken care of. "Your sister killed them all, yes?"
Wrong. This upstart escaped. My majesty raised up a ball of fire, and in it, I could see a warrior glowing gold, darting and slashing at the queen, then she exploded into the void. IMPOSSIBLE! I summoned up my ring of fire, and it swirled around me, a never ending vortex. I then smiled. This warrior... he would be my trophy. A reason to fuel my pride...
"I presume I have to kill this one?"
Smart child. You are one of the decedents of the Chinese Great 6, the warriors to protect their king, one of the children of the fire dragon there. Now, two deadly flames will become one. I am interested in your magic, young one. It would be a shame for you to fail. Sort the boy out, and do not disappoint me...
~~~~\sSs/~~~~
At dawn, I took of. What should I use on him? My fire rain? 21 tongues of fire? This is going to be easier than I thought. So he killed the great queen, the mistress of shadows, the creator of shade and nightfuries... so what? I presume she was weak at that time. The boy was lucky... but not lucky enough to escape my wrath.
~~~~\sSs/~~~~
I perched up on the mountain. If the little peasant wants to play hero, he will have to go through me. I flew up to the tallest tree in the distance. Surveying the surroundings, I was in a lush, flourishing, green forest. It would be a shame if it all burned down...
Concentrating on my power, I used my first move. An explosion rocked the sky. Looking up, I smiled. Balls of fire rained down from the sky. I smiled. Destruction. That was my purpose. Dragons shrieked and flew into the sky. Rabbits, boar, deer, and other animals ran out, but the flames scorched most up. The crackling of fire, the creaking of timber, this was perfect. Now, time to play the waiting game.
~~~~\sSs/~~~~
"What's going on here?" I look up. The boy has come to play hero, just as I expected. "Ispy, there!" He came into view, dressed in a red chest plate, and nothing else. He rode another dragon, and I smiled. Another dragon of my kind, eh? He was purple, and glowing eye markings glowed on his skin. I reeled up. "About time! I was practicing my fire skills! A bit of flame here, some fire over there, I was going to fall asleep!" The child looked at me, a determined expression on his face. "You speak like us, but you are not a human? Who are you? Why have you come?" I smiled. Joy flooded in. His determination, his will, so useless. "I was one of the children of the king's guardians, of course I know how to speak human tongue! And for the third question? Why, to kill you of course! It would be a shame to, but orders are orders! Now, shall we begin? What is your name, child?"
"Hyrith. Hyrith Runeblade. Now, if you're gonna be so crazy about this, why don't you just find me? You know, send a Terrible Terror to me. Arrange a time. I'm available on Saturday and Tuesday from around 3 to 4, but seriously? Now? You're really annoying me."
I scowled. "Your words are useless boy.... now, for the second time, shall we begin?" Hyrith rolled his eyes. "Yeah, look who's talking. Oh yeah! Thanks for the request. I'll be happy to begin."
The boy whipped out his sword, and his dragon started to spew flames. As I watched, his sword slowly got coated with ice. I chuckled. "Fire against ice? This is going to be easy." I grinned, and whipped my tail in a "U" motion. The fire wheel around me flared up, and I spewed flames everywhere, controlling the flames to surround me in the form of a huge eastern dragon. I could tell her was shocked. His dragon roared, and sprung back. Pride filled me... "Shall we play?"
The boy darted left, and I chased him. Clenching my fist, I shot several bolts of white fire at his face. Hyrith spun around, and occasionally shot ice at my face. Valiant efforts, but it turned to steam as soon as I got close. "Your tricks are useless, boy. Better try something else."
"Can you stop calling me a boy? It's seriously getting me mad."
"Oh well, boy. My turn."
"But you attacked first!"
"Yeah, yeah. Boy, you'll wish you had."
I halted, and roared. The fire dragon around me disappeared, but then I turned them into 21 wisps of fire. 21 SOILD wisps of fire. They shot toward Hyrith like darts, but before he could run, 3 of them struck, 2 impaling his dragon's legs, and 1 grazing his arm. His dragon roared, and spiraled into the flames. I smiled, but I'm done with games. I'm going to complete this quest...
Now... for my next trick, I closed my eyes. I envisioned Hyrith and his dragon falling, then I looked up, All the flames in the forest stopped burning, and they shot up into the sky. I roared, and the ball of fire grew and grew, turning golden as it soared up. I tried to find him, but he was blind from my sight. Whatever. I roared to him, wherever he was. "Hyrith, you can't hide! My father once burned down an entire village with this fire. It took 4 of the Rain Bringers to stop him, but even then he was not defeated. Let's see what this will do to you!" I hissed, and shot it into the forest.
The flames spread like a beautiful, horrendous flood. I soared above. My magic was complete, my deed has been done. I turned to the direction of home, then started to fly.
Suddenly, a shimmer of gold caught my eye. I turned around, and I got slashed in the face by a golden claw. I roared, then I looked above me. Hyrith, now glowing gold, flew above me, his dragon suddenly wearing golden armor. He looked down at me. “You know what? Before, I couldn’t really use my power cause I had no one to help take revenge on, but now that you mention your father wiped out an entire village and you do that to, it gives me a ton of people to avenge. “ His dragon charged forward, and I shot flames at Hyrith’s face. I then snarled. The flames didn’t seem to hurt him. Sure, I could tell that it bothered him, but he was braving it like he was walking in a pool of steaming hot water. He sweats and groans, but it didn’t hurt him. He then swung, and slashed his sword across my face.
AURG! For once in a long time, I felt pain. A drop of blood dripped from my cheek, but the flames healed the wound. Now, I was getting mad. A village boy was defeating me! I smashed my tail across his face, and he flew back. I roared again.
This is impossible! I willed up the ball of fire again, and swirled at across me. “Ispy, how bout’ we clear up a road?” Wait. What? Suddenly, ice shot at my ball of fire. I fought back, but when the ice went into the fire, it turned into steam. I smiled… then I realized that the ice never stopped. It kept on going, and the fire disappeared faster than the flames could get back…
“NOW!” Too late, I realized that the ice wasn’t trying to hit me. The boy and his dragon flew towards me ridiculously fast, and slammed into me. Hyrith smashed his hilt across my face, and his dragon slashed at my throat and belly. The fire around me died down, then the purple dragon slammed his tail across my face, and I blacked out…
“You ok?” I blinked, and then I realized that I was on the forest floor, the boy standing over me sword in hand. His dragon paced, and snorted flames. I sneered. “You… you just…” Hyrith shrugged. “Yeah. I defeated you. Don’t get beaten often, huh?” He looked at me, then realization dawned upon me. I failed. I was at the mercy of the child I was supposed to defeat. Huolin will kill me. I roared. “YOU TOOK MY LIFE!” I tried to slash him, but he grabbed my paw.
“What do you mean?”
“My master… he’ll kill me…”
“Who?”
I snorted. Why should I tell him? I’m dead, and he doesn’t need to know more…
“Fine. Why don’t you come with us?”
Wait. I looked at him. He was fierce and full of heart, yet he showed mercy and compassion.
“I will not submit to a boy!”
“Fine. I don’t want to kill a loyal warrior following orders from a cruel king. That’s wrong. Why don’t you go free, and we’ll watch over you?
“Why would I trust you to protect me? I bet you wouldn’t really last a minute with other dragons! ”
“I defeated you, remember?”
I faltered. I scowled. This boy, he was smart. But still… it’s my only way. I rolled over, and stood up. I looked at Hyrith, the boy who I was supposed to kill, and his dragon. I scowled, but it’ll make us both happy.
“So, Hyrith Runeblade? Where to?”
Since Hyrith is Valkyrie blessed, it means he gets two powers when he is born (he is the son of a chief). He lost his first power to heal a friend (the ability to talk to dragons using his mind), but he has a second power that when he is avenging someone/when he is suffering a loss because of a person, he glows and gains speed, agility, and a bit of resistance. He's almost unstoppable, but remember... he has to lose someone/some friends/some people he cares about.
It's a good fanfiction, but I would much prefer that the backstories for these particular dragons (diety) be removed from any personal mythology/overpowering of human characters.
Dragons with human speech are also a serious pet-peeve for me. X-x
It's ok! I'm fine... just one questino though.
I don't really 100% understand what you're trying to say. So, dragons with human speech is not recommended, and I don't really get the first part... ;)
Could you explain it to me a bit more? Thanks!
To be blunt, Hyrith is grossly overpowered. Monkey King challenging the gods and winning overpowered. It's perfectly acceptable in your own universe, where you have your own universal rules, and it works there. But for this adoption, stories involving personal fanfictions are somewhat unfavorable, even moreso if the characters are overpowered. It's sad, but humans are probably one of the physically weakest and most inept mammals on this planet. What we lack in fangs, claws, and physical strength, we completely overkill with ingenuity. But a single, frail human overpowering a massive, possibly ancient dragon with perhaps eons of battle experience... It's a little farfetched.
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind...
Will it ok if I redid the story? I've got another tactic that might work, and no, it doesn't have anything to do with Hyrith's special ability.
So, the things I need to watch out for is:
- No speaking human
- Nothing to do with my personal fan-fic
- No Golden rune ability
Is that it? I'll start when you check these requirements, based on my previous fan-fic.
(Actually, I might start tomorrow. I need to sleep...)
I can't tell you for sure ahead of time. It largely depends on how you decide to redo it. But yes, a story with those things to watch out for in mind should be much better.
Just be very sure what you apply for is what you want. It's very possible that a dragon you like more will appear later, but the limit is one special per person.
I will wait to pass judgment on any applications for Zhanhuo until I get back from work tonight. Anyone who wished to apply for him has at least 10 hours to submit their application.
Hello! I am going to try and go for Zhanhuo. I hope you like it! :D
Name: Zhanhuo (the name you already gave him)
Gender: Male
Personality: Zhanhuo is fierce, aggressive, and has a really bad temper almost all the time. He often thinks that he is above everyone and every dragon and doesn’t always listen to the advice of others. Since his name means “flames of war” he always thinks like the person who would make the major decisions in a war. Because of his military like thinking this causes him to be strict most of the time.
Story:
On one particular day I had been flying for quite a lot of hours on my BoneKnapper Asthi. It was starting to become dark and the sun was setting so we flew a bit longer and saw an island to rest at before we headed back to Berk the next morning. The sun set by the time we reached the island and we were about to land. Since there was still some light out I was able to see that this island had multiple waterfalls, cherry blossom trees, a large forest, and what seemed to be a pit of lava or fire. I was confused about how that pit of lava got there unless the island was actually a volcano. Thankfully though upon further inspection it wasn’t and it was just a random pit of lava. “Weird! I wonder how that got there Asthi.” I said as we flew to the island to land and find a good camping spot.
We finally found a good camping spot underneath the cherry blossom trees and I set up where I was going to sleep and Asthi made herself a bed of leaves. I was lying in my sleeping bag looking at the stars and trying to spot out the different constellations. This night the moon was full and shining bright and there were hardly any clouds in the sky to cover it or the stars. I was about to fall into a peaceful sleep when I heard a noise coming from the trees of the forest. I sat up from where I was and looked around and then that’s when I spotted a shadow of something very long.
I got up and started sneaking towards it since it seemed to have its head facing away from me. Once I was closer to it I hid behind a bush that was near so I could try and get a better look at what it was. Upon seeing that the shadowy creature looked like a dragon I gasped in amazement! I saw that it wasn’t a dragon that I have seen before. I could tell that it was taller than most of the dragons I have. Its color of the body was a dark red and from all the way to its neck and tail as well as the fluff on its tail and head looked like it had stars or nebula like patterns. I was also able to see that its spines, arms, legs, and other various parts of its head had the nebula star like patterns as well.
The mysterious dragon also seemed to have floating things of light surrounding it. Instantly I knew if I was going to train this dragon it was gonna be tough and could possible take forever to earn its trust. Eventually I went to head back to the camp but when I was walking slowly away from the dragon I accidently stepped on a branch and broke it which then made a cracking sound and alerted the dragon that he wasn’t alone. Worried that it would attack me I started sprinting back to the camp but it was too late.
He had followed me, saw were I was going and landed at my dragon and I’s camp site. By the time I got there he had already knocked out Asthi and she was lying on the floor unconscious. I looked for a weapon of some sort quickly but alas I had not been able to find the one which I must have forgotten at home again. Suddenly it approached me slowly but cautiously and it seemed as though he was studying me trying to decide if I was a threat or not. He stared at me for a couple of seconds and he must have made his decision because after that he flew off to some other part of the island. Relieved I sighed and went over to Asthi to make sure she was okay. She seemed to have a few bruises but other than that she seemed fine and was starting to wake up.
After that event I was curious as to why the dragon decided not to harm me like with what he did to Asthi. I decided to spend a couple of days researching unknown and known dragons in different parts of the world and had found it was part of a rare line of a species called Oriental Serpentfang that could control one of the elements. The one I had seen was able to control fire. When I was able to gather more information about this dragon species I decided to fly back to that island and try to see if it could be trained.
When I got there I flew above the island with Asthi for a bit to see if I could spot him somewhere. Suddenly I saw the dragon and flew down near where it was which was by the lava pit I saw last time. We landed and I headed towards the direction of the dragon now prepared for what could happen. I walked slowly towards it. From my research I found that it liked several types of fish and some poisonous plants which is why I packed some of both. Approaching the dragon I got the food out of my bag and had laid it on the floor near it to see if it would become a bit friendlier towards me. This dragon did eat the food but when I went near it the dragon backed away and moved to the other side of the lava pit not wanting to be disturbed.
Then I looked at the notes that I wrote down to see what I should try next. Next I tried to see if there was any problem that it needed help with. Once again it flew away from me this time near the cherry blossom trees. Hours had passed and I had not successfully trained the dragon yet. I kept trying and trying but getting frustrated every time from his stubbornness, independent attitude, and fierce personality. Eventually I learned how this dragon’s personality was like as well from observing him and how he reacted to certain things I did like trying to train him.
After that night I kept coming back to the island. A year had passed but eventually I was able to earn the Oriental Serpentfang ‘s trust. I figured out his name was Zhanhuo from him writing it with his claw in the sand after I asked him. Now because of my persistence and not giving up I guess that’s when he decided that I would be a worthy companion because after I gained his trust he picked me up with his tail, set me on his head near his horns and we started to fly back to Berk. We are close friends now and we hang out together a lot and occasionally we go back to that island where we first met for picnics or just to relax. Becoming his friend wasn't easy but in the end it was totally worth it.

!!Special!!
This dragon already has a name. The dragon is called Zhanhuo (戰火), "flames of war". He is fierce, warlike, and hot tempered. This dragon comes from a line of Serpentfangs said to have died out long ago, who can draw upon the ancient magics often associated with their species in the lands from which they hail. Its body bears a nebulous pattern resembling the Witch Head nebula. Zhanhuo can summon the power of fire. Do you have what it takes to make this fierce diety dragon your ally?
Note: This dragon is more difficult to obtain than the original seven. To adopt this dragon, your story will have to be quite phenominal. In exchange, anyone is able to try and adopt it, whether they possess one Serpentfang already or not.
