   One of the three untamed dragons that resided on Dragonstone, the Cannibal was given his name due to his eating habits. Feasting on dead, newborn and unhatched dragons, he was a wild and vicious beast. No trainer, dragon rider or dragon seed could tame the Cannibal, and all those who tried were devoured. 
   The Cannibal’s appearance was black in colour, with striking green eyes. He was the oldest and biggest of the wild dragons; Sheepstealer and Grey Ghost. Nearly the size of Vhagar, the Cannibal resembled a mix between Balerion, Drogon and Vermithor. All looking on the more traditional side of the dragon species. 
   Some history books say the Cannibal lived on Dragonstone long before the Targaryen’s settled there in 114 BC.

Some of my Embodiments, as drawn by my friend Drakontarachne on DA.
In order they are:
Light and Dark
Life and Death
Fear and Rage
Joy, Envy, and Love
Earth and Air
Water and Fire
Embodiments exist outside of reality, and are the personification and source of what they represent. Light is all light. Fear is all fear. etc.

i need everyone to consider vivienne and dorian bonding over taking care of the inquisitor after the end of dragon age inquisition as the mark progressively gets worse and worse. vivienne with her past of watching bastien get sicker and sicker and dorian doing the same with felix, and seeing it repeat with the inquisitor. take my hand 🖐,,

   She was the mount of Prince Daeron Targaryen, the third son of King Viserys I and Queen Alicent Hightower. Tessarion was given to the young prince when he was six years old. However, it was said that Daeron did not become a dragon rider until later in his adolescence. 
   Tessarion was named after a Valyrian goddess and was dubbed ‘the Blue Queen’, not only for her blue scales but her cobalt fire. Tessarion’s physical build was traditionally more dragon-like, similar to Silverwing and Dreamfyre. She was a third of the size of Vhagar, and younger than Sunfyre, but was of dragon-fighting age during the civil war. 
   Daeron the Daring was said to be the most liked out of Viserys’ sons and as dragon riders mirror their mounts, it can be said that Tessarion had a well-natured yet adventurous temperament.

Adding that Daniel Ogden has a third dragon book out:
Tumblr media
It goes into how Germanic and Medieval Christian myths influenced the dragon developing from a snake/snake hybrid to what we'd more commonly accept as a Western Dragon, and I'd recommend it as a follow up to the first two (though would suggest reading the first two first, they're not needed but they're a nice framework for the Greek and Classical dragon that this book then builds on).
What's your absolute top reccomendation for books vis a vis dragon folklore, any region, any period, as restricted or comprehensive as you'd like?
Oooh that's a good question!
In general if primary sources are cited, it's tops. I would say the gold standard are Ogden's Drakon: Dragon Myth & Serpent Cult in the Greek & Roman Worlds and Dragons, Serpents, & Slayers in the Classical and Early Christian Worlds are great.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has 700 characters and 80,000 lines of dialogue (140,000 lines including all the Rooks) in it: [link] They started casting the acting talent 5 years ago and have been working on it since.
Edit: According to the wiki, Dragon Age: Inquisition contains 88,000 lines of dialogue (edit 2 - I think this figure including all of the Inquisitors). I think I read somewhere that BG3 has over 500 NPCs?

A Dragon
Tumblr media
Two Lindwurms.
Interesting fact for all the dracoprescitivists out there: While in British heraldry, a four-legged dragon is called a dragon and a two-legged dragon is called a wyvern (we all know that one), in German heraldry, the two-legged variety is called "Drache" i.e. "dragon", while the four-legged variant is called "Lindwurm". Regardless of any serpentine form of the body or number of wings.
So we should always keep in mind that any classification system that anybody might use for mythical creatures is highly culturally specific, sometimes even more specific than that, and should only be used in a general sense when your readers are aware what you are talking about.
