Romeo Dragon - Tumblr Posts
(This, so far, is my least fave design of all of my Smaugust dragons. I think it started downhill with the head, as i was attempting to do the same thing i have done with some of the other dragons, where i just take their front view, and then stretch their jaws out forwards, so if you look at them from the front view, and erase their dragon accessories, you’ll get the same silhuette of their typical face shape. If you look at them profile view, you’ll see that they have a muzzle. In Romeo’s case, it DID NOT look good, but i was insistent on keeping his face shape closer to his typical shape... so... my stubbornness might have gotten the best of me here.)
Name: Romeo
Dragon specie type: Bee/Wasp Memory destroyer
Appearance mix: Bee/Wasp, Human, Butler
Specific appearance mix: As four arms on his human torso, he has a pair of mostly insectoid limbs on his waist line, and where his human legs would be, would be his “human” legs, but looks like it is made out of insectoid segments. (This is one of my favorite aspects of his design right now).
He has a bee/wasp abdomen, which, in the traditional picture of his dragon form, not really good in quality, but the design is there. It is a mix of a bee/wasp hive, and the typical bee/wasp.
He still has his chemical libraries, which are placed above his four wrists, (Two of which i didn't implement in fear it would cover/block his wings), and on top of the transition between abdomen and waistline.
Breath element: Well, I am sure that his spit could be that of whatever chemical compounds that he could turn make with his chemical libraries, but I don’t think he would be BREATHING it. That would be more like Swalot, which is the only one that I specifically designed to be absolutely intentionally disgusting. Romeo is too…. Professional and Butlerlike for that.
Other notes: He still has his memory modeling abilities, and he is my least liked design when it comes to his head/face. I aimed to make his head/face look similar to his human counterpart design, as I successfully did with several of my OTHER dragon designs, but this one, wasn’t quite what I was looking for.
I gave him the insect mandibles, I gave him four eyes, one more insect like, and the other resembling his more human ones, although I think they look more femanine than they should on his dragon face. His horns, which I do like, look more like ant/bee/wasp antenna.
He still has the tendency to turn people he really likes into grubs, grubs that eventually turn into other insect inspired dragons. Well, in THIS case, insectoid dragons, in his base form, it would be insectoid humans. If he does this process with someone he doesn’t like, it turns them into more royal honey, which is the substance that he surrounds said victim with to transform them into either. Once transformed and during the transformation, he stores the victim in one of the many hive cells in his abdomen, just like he would do in his boss form, which is shown in my big crossover project based off of the Resident Evil Franchise.
Explorer notes: He also has a tendency to accidentally give himself away, or at least signalize where he has been, or made his most recent home/territory.
He makes several bee hives, or wasp hives, depending on your view on what he is mostly based off of, and it is said that despite all of the rather large hive like structures he has made in several locations around the map, there is ONE singular MOTHER hive that is the size of a ginormous manor, hidden somewhere very protected, and isnt marked anywhere on any map.
Anyone who has went out in search for it, has never came back. Or at least as they were.
I am still wondering if my insect dragon companion could have been Markus, one of my fellow explorers and data gatherers who was sent by our boss to search for the manor.
