A Makoatl is a terrestrial shark-dragon hybrid recently discovered
off the coast of the Greenland sea. They have the powerful tail
and jaws of a shark, with the body and (occasional) horns of a dragon.
They usually have manes, and are covered in thick coats of fur-
adapted to keeping out the cold in their native habitat.
They live on a diet of mainly meat and fish, and are known to be vicious
hunters! Despite this attitude toward their prey, however, they
are very protective and mothering to their offspring,
as well as to each other the majority of the time.

We've made it this far, everyone! Our community is still growing, and I'm very proud of this species! So without further ado, here is Makoatl #200:



This was a staff collab. Juliette chose the palette, Cole did the sketch and lines, L Lawliet did the design, Sixbane did accessories, Wyrd supervised, and I put it up and chose the contest ^-^

username: kirarya

name: einarr
meaning: in old norse, the name means 'lone warrior.'

i knew i wanted a northern name when i first saw this
makoatl. i think the horns and the long mane and the
colour palette combined to give me a very 'cold'
impression as to this mako's origins.

i ended up choosing the name einarr because of both the
elements it is comprised of. this mako certainly is a
warrior or guardian - he has that aura about him for sure.
the lone element plays into his personality later. c;

Res, absolutely gorgeous

Username: FoxerOwl
Name: Radiografia, goes by Radio, Graf, or Grafia
Meaning of Name/Why you chose the Name: The meaning is "x-ray" in Italian. I chose this name because I already had the name in mind for a mako I really liked, and this one is it. Basically, she'd be the calm assassin joining my frantic assassin (Radina) in a mission, and they would become unlikely acquaintances after a while. The name will make sense after a while, I promise!
