I'm a sucker for this colouring, marking ^^

prompt:I've loved dragons ever since I was a kid. One of my first big interests as a child were dinosaurs, and dragons have a similar vibe to dinosaurs imo. I honestly really can't choose a "favourite". There are countless depictions of dragons and each has their own unique charm and character. So I'm going to write about my top two favourite dragons, if that's okay. If not please let me know and I will edit my form and I'll try cut it down to one!
I love amphiptere, because they are like a mixture of a wyrm and a typical looking dragon or wyvern. And when it's hard to pick a favourite dragon, it's good to have options that look like a mix between two! They captivate me because they look so slender and graceful, almost regal. They can also be depicted in more than one way: like scaly snakes with bat-like wings, or they can have a bird-like appearance with some feathers and a beak added into the mix. I love both depictions for different reasons but my favourite would have to be the latter. I love the feathers and the bird-like softness - I can imagine it preening itself with its beak and singing beautifully. They're the kind of dragon you can imagine having as a pet! And I've always yearned to be able to have a pet dragon.
Hydra is my other favourite. It is another dragon that can have multiple depictions. Hydra can have either the body of a typical dragon, or a serpentine body like a wyrm. It's one constant is that it has multiple heads -- that have the ability to regrow. Every time one head is removed, another one or two sprout up in its place. I
think it's the only dragon that has regeneration powers like that. In some depictions of the hydra, each head can use the power of a different element - which I really like. I love pretty much all the different elemental powers so a dragon that has the ability to do most, if not all of them, of course would have to be one of my favourites. Because of all that i think hydra is a pretty cool and interesting dragon. It's one you wouldn't want to get in a fight with, that's for sure!
As for which element is my favourite... That's even harder than picking a favourite dragon actually, haha. I love water and wind elementals. I like the features, that come with water elemental dragons. I love gills and fins, and just sea-serpent types in general. And I've always loved water. I can't swim very well and I'm pretty much blind without my glasses, but when I was young my favourite school day was any day we got to go to the pool. I also really love warrior cats, and my favourite Clan of course, is Riverclan. When we were allowed to play freely after our swimming lesson, sometimes I'd pretend I was a mermaid or a Riverclan cat.
Wind elemental dragons feel kind of fairy-like and soft to me, which I really gravitate towards. They also have the ability to cause hurricanes and other natural disasters, which I think is pretty powerful. I like the contrast of something looking angelic, but having the ability to absolutely wreak havoc. Just one exhale and a complete town could be blown away. But I like to imagine that the soft and fairy-like wind types are dragons that only use their powers when they feel pushed into it. That resonates with me on a very personal level.
