Apologies to Albrecht by Douglas Carrel

From one of the Dragonology titles, published by Templar in the UK, Candlewick in the US.

One of my all time favourite dragon artists, Carrel’s work was a huge inspiration to my own art growing up.

I’ve always been a Dragonology kid. When I was still pretty young I got my tonsils taken out and my mom’s friend got me the big Dragonology book to look through and play with while I was healing. Such a staple memory for me.

I found these recently and each book is a choose-your-own-adventure story. Did you like the Dragonology books as a kid?

Rosier Siblings

The Rosier siblings have my heart, they are so tragic. During the first war both sides lost a lot, families broke up and brothers drifted apart. Evan was killed by Moody, Pandora died trying to destroy Slytherin's locket (HC) and Felix was the only one left alive and escaped from England (Canon)

Felix Rosier was Evan Rosier's younger brother in the canon, he was only 12 years old when Evan was killed by Aurors. After graduating from Hogwarts, he became a Dragonologist, specializing in Peruvian Vipertooths. He did not return to England again until after the end of the war. At home there were too many painful memories, in addition to the accusatory glares of the other. The surname Rosier has never been completely cleaned up, everyone still associates it with the Death Eaters.

Day 1 prompt 'from a book'

For some reason the dragon that popped into my head was the species of dragon fomr the dragonology book, it not a character but i think it counts.

I've seen people getting confused about types of dragon-like creatures, so I made an oversimplified chart to help people Identify what "type of dragon" they're talking about.

Couldn't remember any pop culture wyrms:(

Some honorary mentions, and a correction to drake:

Lóng is a chinese dragon, it is very similar to drake but have some differences, one of them is size, drakes are usually small like mushu from mulan, shenron is a lóng not a drake, I was debating on whether to put drake or lóng in the graph, and somehow managed to write drake, and put a picture of a lóng.

There are three types of hydras, aquatic, lernaean, and terrestrial, with 0, 2, and 4 legs respectively. Lernaean hydra is the one hercules killed.

Dragonnet is basically a small dragon, sometimes you'll see people also calling them drake.

Quetzalcoatl is an amphithere type of dragon, but it is usually feathery, and comes from mesoamerican culture.

Aido whedo is an african dragon, usually depicted similar to wyverns, and comes from vodunism.

Apep is a wyrm-like dragon from egyptian mythology

Given that I had both these books, I guess my gender makes sense now.
