#Dragon centaur! Edda

[octahedral-chaos]

Hi uh. I finally caved... I drew Dragon Centaur! Edda

AKA screw it *Faligons your Edda*

I apologise in advance for bringing THIS into existence-

Version without wings under the cut

[h0ped3lusion]

I decided that Edda's probably going to be a Griffin, hippalectryon (Basically rooster-horse), hieracosphinx (Body of a lion, head of a eagle), unicorn, winged horse/ Pterippi or Dracaenae (Basically dragon centaur) when she gets cursed by that god for the Aster thingy.

Not too sure which one, but I'm currently leaning towards hippalectryon, unicorn, pterrippi or dracaenae. Especially towards dracaenae or pterrippi.

Oooh I'm leaning a lot towards Edda being a pterrippi!

Also, I thought winged horses are called pegasi, what's the difference from pterrippi?

[nihil-nan]

Also have a very cursed idea:

Edda, but as... some sort of dragon-centaur thingy? Like replace horse with dragon.

Maybe she could be some kind of Eastern dragon?

Would she look like something like yin-yang then?

Sources for Germanic mythical creatures include oral works committed in the Middle Ages to writing (e.g., the Nibelungenlied, the Eddas), traditional stories passed down into modern times (e.g., by the Brothers Grimm), and philosophical works (e.g., by Paracelsus); the above is only a sampling of the richly diverse folk traditions of Central and Northern Europe, with no particular emphasis. The sections on non-Germanic creatures are also accordingly abbreviated.

I’m sure some of the above is miscategorized, unclear, incomplete, or otherwise just wrong, so corrections are very welcome!

Also pspsps please talk to me about Drgaon Centaur! Edda because it's an absolutely hilarious idea and now I am attached to it.

Okay so for Dragon Centaur! Edda...

I'm thinking of basing her dragon half off of a water monitor because those guys are neat. She'll just have a slightly longer and thinner body with legs positioned underneath and floof.

[octahedral-chaos]

I bring you an ask!

So, how are your current WIPs going? (Writing, art, and other stuff).

Any other plans on your mind at all?

Idk. Just checking in!

I'm... not really doing much writing-wise, nor art wise because I'm trying to study for exam... which ended up giving me burnout so... I'm not that great I guess?

Also yeah, I do have some ideas here and there... maybe I should work on Angel fic or doodle Dragon Centaur! Edda because I think I need something nice at this point.

Also there's the little thylacine Cynocephalus character in my head... and Nyx and Sòl too!

[h0ped3lusion]

Have a very, VERY silly thought I had:

Edda as a Eastern dragon... or as a Eastern dragon centaur-thing

Ohohooo! You've piqued my interest! I can see her with really long flowy mane, that's for sure!

[h0ped3lusion]

Also I think it would be a little bit neat to talk about how I see Eldritch! Edda's appearance, since it's a pretty cool look tbh

Warning for Potentially Body horror!

Okay so, she's definitely centaur-eque (Humanoid torso with animal lower body), but she might have anatomy similar to a bird/ferret hybrid, but she's also kind of lanky and has two pairs of legs. Definitely a LOT of wings, like at least two pairs on her animal back, one pair on her humanoid torso, 1-2 pairs that act like ears and several more along her tail... not counting her hind legs because it's kind of like sharovipteryx, as in: Leg wings!

She have a very, VERY long tail that ends in a very long tail fan, with the feathers near the tip being the longest. Also have a halo around her head, and her hands ends in claws. She's also wayyyyy bigger now, like Aven's a tiny little speck compared to her. She also may or may not have a very long mane running from her head to the base of her tail.

Anyways, I love my messed up bird-ferret-dragon-starfolk girl /hj

Ohh ho ho she'd look so cool and so pretty!✨️

The image of Aven being a tiny speck standing right beside her is so funny to me—😭😭😭 like he's just this tiny twinkling little thing that probably fits right in her hand

Feeling like doodling something besides Dragon centaur! Edda and Nyx's concept design... so uh...

Feel free to suggest ideas, especially creature design ones relating to chimeras!
