#Makara

[roninreverie]

I'm learning words like Marai, Makara, and Raylu... "Carnivorous and ever-smiling sounds a lot like Jericho." The Raylu (as far as I can tell) are unknown with everything including looks? I think I saw somewhere, Steb was confirmed NOT to be Vastaya, but unless I start hearing some confirmations from reputable sources, we got contenders on this family tree.

I've become obsessed with the Arcane Fish People

Does their race have a legitimate name? Like are they a type of aquatic/sea-Vastaya, or Fish Folk, or something else entirely? What lore do they have about their culture?

Call me reverse-Ariel because I wanna know more about their world!

Happy one day, late 27th birthday to me, I guess. I survived another year, unfortunately. And that's just another year of no Makara Variant

Which clade is the makara in?

Currently I have placed it in Drakonidae; it has an upright posture and the males have small shoulder wings. It has a trunklike nose wattle like a turkey snood, so it is more closely related to azi (azhdar, nahang, vishap) rather than to firedrakes (where both males and females have large wings, no snoods; viridian firedrake, common firedrake, ddraig goch, glitterdrake) or long (similar small wings only had by males, but nose bulb rather than snood, and different horns and frills; azure dragon, yellow dragon, druk, ryu, rong, dancing dragon).

Quick comparison of makara next to it's close cousins, the azi - I do not think makara is a type of azi, just a relative, as the makara doesn't have a central head horn or extra fills beyond the 'ear' shaped ones.

DRAKONIDAE:

Firedrakes

Azi

Makara

Long

Dinodrakes

Mushussu

Earlier it was a more serpentine design and was in the dragon-serpent family Dracovermidae. I gave it a more leggy design based on most makara art I found.

NOTE THIS IS FOR PERSONAL WORLDBUILDING PROJECT DRACONES MUNDI I AM NOT SPECULATING ON THE ACTUAL MAKARA FROM HINDU MYTHOLOGY SOMEHOW BEING CLOSELY RELATED TO DRAGONS FROM WEST ASIAN MYTHOLOGY
