Red Venus flytrap Teacup Dragon

Postby vindhov » Tue Mar 05, 2013 5:48 am

Judging has now ended.
Thank you all so much for all the love you have shown this dragon!

This Teacup dragon really is one of a kind. It suffers a strange mutation; It was born without wings. This mutation is usually only seen in aquatic Teacup dragons, however this one only lives on land. In the wings place is a huge fly trap which it cleverly uses to catch food in the same way as normal fly traps. It's stripes make it nearly impossible to detect when it lies on the forest floor waiting for unsespecting creatures to trap in it's fly traps. It is strictly carnivourus as opposed to other Teacups.

Based on this plant: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7VvOZeh1e7Y/T ... plants.jpg

Thank you all so much for entering to win this dragon. Don't be disapointed if you did not win this dragon, there will be atleast one more flytrap up for adoption ^^

I loved this entry, both the personality and the motivation. Everyone did such a good job with their entries that it took me so long to decide a winner.
Congratulations to yearofdragon who is the new owner of this dragon ^^

Dragons name: Bitey
I know it may not seem very original, and it certainly isn’t as creative as the other names that I’ve seen here. But Bitey is the name of my first Venus flytrap that resides in a terrarium by my desk, I wanted to give this lovely dragon a little bit of a personal touch!

Gender: Male

Personality: Bitey couldn’t be a more fitting name for this little guy, he’s bossy, sarcastic, stubborn, just unkind all around and he certainly wouldn’t be above giving anyone a sharp nip or two if they get on his bad side. Even those who do try to get along with Bitey get taunted, tricked, and quite possibly bitten or scratched, as a result of this he doesn’t have very many friends and even those who’re able to tolerate Bitey get the cold shoulder.
Although he tends to spend most of his days laying around, waiting for some unlucky insect to wander into his traps, Bitey can be very impatient with everyone. He also has a dislike for those with wings, as he feels that they’re “show offs with those bright colours and flashy feathers” personally, I just think he’s jealous.
But, If you get to know the little guy, he can warm up quite a bit and /possibly/ be less of a grump towards you, the occasional nip might be inevitable, though!

Motivation to why you want it: I’ve been watching these lovely dragons since the start, just lurking and waiting for the perfect one to catch my eye. Well, I’ve finally found him, and this fantastic dragon is also based off of a plant that means a lot to me, so it works out even better! Unlike some of the other adoptable species, your idea with the Teacup dragons is an original one and I adore that there isn’t another species around that looks as unique as these lovely fellows. The effort you put into each dragon to make all of the edits exclusive to that specific dragon is absolutely fantastic, I’d love to take one of these lovelies home and call him my own! <3
I have a whole terrarium full of carnivorous plants, with the Venus flytraps being my favourite by far. Bitey, this dragon’s namesake, was the one that I’ve had for the longest, I had seen the pre-grown flytraps at the store and it amazed me that a plant could evolve in such a way that it seemed almost like an animal, plus the fact that they thrive in places where most other plants don’t even dare to venture! I grew Bitey from a seed and it took way longer than I thought it would! But I really want to put the same effort into caring for this dragon as I do in tending to my plants! <3

and a little bit of art <3

Dragons name:
Lady Snippiana "Snips for short"
Gender:
Female
Personality:
Snips is a a bit of a dreamer, she often dreams of flying with the other Teacup dragon's and loves to try. Even if she ends up falling all the time. Snips catches prey with her traps located on her back, however her tail doesn't normally catch and eat prey, she uses her tail to latch onto things and swing from place to place. Snips loves to play games with others, hide and seek is her favourite game, she is amazingly good at it. Snips is playful, but also extremely curious, always running around, hiding and exploring. Snips loves sneaking up and scaring others for fun. Despite this side of Snips, she loves to have friends and can be very kind and caring when she wants to anyways. Lady Snippiana usually doesn't like being called by her full name and would rather just be called Snips. Her favourite thing to eat is bugs, though she has a secret sweet tooth for honey here and there. Overall Snips is kind, playful and sly.
Motivation to why you want it:
I love Teacup dragons! I have tried out for others, but even if I lost I still couldn't connect to them, but then this beauty arrived! Venus Fly Trap's are one of my favourite plants of all time! And she's perfect! I love her, simply beautiful, as to why I want her and what would I do with her? Draw pictures, artwork with my other characters, I'd use her in rp's and stories. I'm not good with art yet, but you can expect to see pictures of her! She's the perfect Teacup dragon for me!

Dragons name:
Dion Verrucio,
A name that popped into my head and won't leave. I cannot remember whenever 'verrucio' had a meaning or not but I do know that it's a very nice name for this beautiful boy. Dion is short for the latin name of the Venus Flytrap.
He is called Dion for short.

made by WhiteFire Raven



Gender:
Male

Personality:
Depending on how well he's fed: When Dion is satisfied he is a friendly little dragon, enjoying every single moment of life and every sunray the day grants him. He loves to snooze and dream. Dion is an optimist and allways tries to see the bright side of things. That's why he tries not to bother about his flightless state. When he was younger he tried to fly, using the trap on his back like wings. He can actually 'glide' for short distances but cannot steer this wingless flight. He is curious but not very playfull. Tough he is friendly and not a bad companion he still avoids most contact, being shy at the same time. When the insects don't fall for his illusion as often as they do normally Dion will turn irritated quickly, making him a lot less nice to be with. You could say food makes him happy. Eventually, when he is close to starving he will actually act more like a bully than a friend; irritating others on purpose and making jokes that aren't funny at all. However, this only happend once. He is brave and, in contrast to plants, not scared of fire at all.

Image

Motivation to why you want it:
I've been trying to grow venus flytraps myself, I love those little carnivorous plants but growing them takes up to three years. Feeding them makes me feel like these plants are more like pets than plants. Their appearance and way of living interests me. The first time I saw these special beings I was very young, my mom showed them to me in a store by gentlely touching them so they would close. They seemed almost prehistoric between the flowers and shrubbery. I learned that Venus flytraps are very heatresistant. If there is one thing that I fear, besides alarms, it's fire. The destruction it brings... But Flytraps aren't sensitive to the heat and that amazes me.
I've been keeping an eye on the teacup dragon thread because I really like dragons. The idea is really unique and makes it possible to imagine dragons in your direct envourment. When I saw this little guy, based on the Dionaea muscipula, I fell for him. I don't think there will be a Teacup Dragon like him ever again and I really hope to be the one who takes him home.


I wanted to make a longer personality. But I have exams next week and way too busy. I hope I make a chance. Good luck everyone!
If I would sadly loose, than the winner may have the art made of this amazing creature. (including the amazing piece WFR made, she gave me permission for that)
