species concept contest - closed

Postby Bettalong » Tue Nov 26, 2019 12:40 pm

feelin' bad doing so many otas/sale stuff so here's a species concept contest (free to enter)!


they're something of a wyvern, their eyes connect to their mouth line sort of
paw pads..pawbs...
they can be on all fours!
can also stretch out on twos like a meerkat, but usually, they're standin like what i drew
horns vary a LOT, can come in all sort of wacky styles by default


This is a very informal contest ending in maybe 48-ish hours or so,
but to win this concept, tell me what your plans with them would be/what ideas you have for them!
you can do this in any way, short explanation or long explanation or sketches/etc

depending on the effort put in, I might offer the winner to line (if winner wants)! : 0 good luck to anyone who might enter!

I would use these lines to make both adopts and ufas, but raffles. They would be a closed species called tionics (Tie-on-icks) but im undecided. These look like lovable dragons who try to appear scary but are cuddly. They live in the sandy beaches, right next to the oceans as they eat fish and drink salt water. Something different about them is that they are known for they're different horns and odd smiles. They live in groups of 5-12, but the groups are called a 'Swarm' as many call it. They rely on eachother to protect eachother. Despite them being big, they really don't eat any other animals apart from fish, so it makes them a big prey to big-ish animals. They will sleep on the beach in the hot sand staring at the moon, this gives them energy, it goes into they're horns and eyes which glow. They can breathe a special water-fire. This water-fire has the power to heal and also create magic. No destruction shall come from this magic or they will be outcast from the 'Swarm'. When they are outcast, they must find a new Swarm, but for the time they do not have one, they are called 'Breatheless' which means they basically have no power left, they are no longer needed. This makes the Breatheless feel needy, almost an addiction to quickly finding a Swarm to get some power back. Tionics can fly up to half a day before having to rest they're wings and get they're power. They cannot survive in cold places and need to be in places that are pretty hot. They're tongues are a weird shape, thin but a fork shape at the end which helps them groom eachothers horns which might have weird shapes, it also helps them eat the fish easier, it gets rid of the fishy taste. You would need different ranked dragons in each Swarm to keep control in them, example: Alpha, solider/warrior etc! They like to be ridden, but only by animals (or rather people!) they trust and enjoy gliding against the winds.

Ooh! huge mark ❤️

I'd definitely plan to use these beauties as a species! Never had a dragon species before, sure to be awesome though! They look like rather friendly creatures, maybe a rideable sort with tack? ❤️ I have quite a few ideas and concepts I could put these kiddos into!

Biggo mark!

also, I would sell this species, make sub-species, make OTAs, DTAs, NTAs, you name it. I love it! Your art inspires me, and so does this Species. I would make lore, a website (yes I code websites) and more! If I got this, I would definitely love it and use it. And definitely make you get some credit. TmT I’m so desperate to get this!

I am still adding things as I go!
But as of right now I think I have some good information!

I LOVE this species! Their look is just so amazing ❤

I had a few dragon concepts before, but none of them ever came to life. I had so many thought out but I just could not find the look that I wanted! These little beauties would be amazing.

I recently discovered the ARPG servers and groups for "universes". Basically you can create your own universe and have the species in that world! These would fit in greatly with other ideas I have in mind and one I even have made. They are called Diredons, basically a Dire Wolf and a Saber Tooth combined! Their design is similar to this dragons design, they would be amazing starters for my universe! They would be on DeviantArt mainly in an official universe group. But they will be a species on here as well obviously!! I will make them available as paid and unpaid, unpaids meaning they are free and paids are buyable. And of course there will be holiday events and other mini events throughout the year! I will create a full documented lore just like my Diredons, I created a whole google document with lore, weight, height, and other in depth information to make the species as complex as I could. I am still adding even. I'd love to add this species concept to my universe! Thank you so much for the consideration ❤

I don’t have a name for the universe yet.

Possible Species Name: I’d go desert or tundra themed with this one! Probably tundra.
Egyptian Daycrest (The eye looks so Egyptian like!)
Tundra Wyvern
Antarctic Wyvern / Daycrest
Frostcrest Wyvern (Horns will be full of frost!)

Short Description:
Lifespan: 120-160 Years

Weight:
Male: 1 Ton (2,000 lbs)
Female: 1,000 lbs

Diet:
Omnivorous. This type of dragon prefers to have a mix of berries and meat!
They can be pretty fancy with their tastes. Their teeth are sharp for ripping up meat and crushing berries, but they are not huge in size. They are about 3.5 inches. Their jaws can be very delicate to handle their eggs and berries.

Common Traits:
- Bowed Horns
- Arctic Fur / Desert Fur (Both serve a different purpose)
- Wings
- Bear Like Paws (Size Wise)
- Long Furred Tail
- Fluffy Tail
- Cat Like Pupil (In rare occasions when eggs are not incubated right, they will hatch with no eyelid and will lick their eyes to keep the moisture)

Uncommon Traits:
- Bobbed Tail
- Wyvern Tail
- No Tail
- Long Furred Body
- Heavily Furred Body
- Different Horn Variations (Bull, Impala, Ram, Goat, Deer (Rare), Ibex, Buffalo, Eland, Big Horn, Kudu, Markhor, etc)

These large creatures are usually mildly behaved, meaning they won’t attack you if you don’t bother them. They are harmless as long as you don’t get to close to them, or their eggs. Their fur grows thicker if they are in colder places. The ones that live in warmer areas have little fur. In regards to parenthood, these dragon like creatures are highly protective. Unlike other dragon species this species finds one mate and stays with that mate until the end of their days. They will get very depressed without their partner, and cannot adapt without them. A replacement will do nothing, but their young can keep them happy! Whether those young are freshly hatched or many years old. Their clutch sizes can vary from 1-6 eggs. There is a 20% chance of twins. They sit with the eggs during late spring in nests made of rocks and fur from their bodies underground. They keep the same nests forever unless they are destroyed. They can fly! But not for long. They have to take many breaks. They run out of stamina quickly, but distances are not a problem.

Other Ideas:
- Companions / Familiars (Little animal or plant friends)
- Events (Racing, Flying Races, Showdowns, Berry Picking, Hunting, Egg Celebration?, etc)
- Possible extra help for flying for longer? (Like Train Your Dragon with Toothless’s tail, wing extensions for short winged Wyverns)
- Behaviors
- Human Liking (A bar to show their liking of humans. This shows how hard or easy it’ll be to tame them.)
- Taming Techniques
- Stats!!! (Health / Stamina / Etc)
- Complex Breeding Info
- Genos / Phenos (Like Tokotas)
- Exploration (Quests, Gathering, Finding)
- Different Dragon Sizes
- Map

Size Comparison:
Person stands at 6 feet high.
Image

Tack: I SUCK at drawing tack lmao. I won’t go too in depth of designing the tack until the contest is over ❤️
Two more straps would go around the arm to ensure no shifting would happen during flight.
Image

Tundra Tack:
Each and every Wyvern will get tack according to their personal body type. This will give them the most comfortable tack for them. As shown, the harnessing will be securely wrapped around your creature so that the saddling does not come loose and you fall off. The harnessing can be made of anything that will have a firm hold! Leather, thick rope, nylon, webbing, etc. Depending on the region you live in you must adapt to the resources you have. The tundra tack will have wool wrapped around some parts of the bridle, and a saddle pad (Wool, fur, faux fur, etc) will be needed to avoid giving your creature any wounds or sores. The saddle will come with two extra compartments (It’s the shape of rolled up hide, and is decently spaced. There’s a lot of space for storage) to hold necessities such as blankets, water, food, and other safety materials.

Desert Tack:
This tack is structured the same as the tundra tack. The basic layout and placement is exactly the same.
This tack set will have more of a striking view! It will look more pleasing to the eye look wise rather than for the weather. Some owners like to incorporate skulls onto the tack. It’s up to you, really!

This is the Diredon!

    mark!! I'm heading to bed rn, but I'll edit something into this post later 💕

    alright, here we go !!

    I'd call this species saiwalas, from the gothic word for soul.

    saiwalas are the guardians of souls. each saiwala is eternally linked to a soul as its counterpart or caretaker. their job is to protect their souls against evil forces while guiding the creatures they belong to, "soulbearers", through life. they follow all animals in the cycle of life, not just humans, although humans are viewed as the most valuable due to their strong emotions and intellect. the universe tends to give them to the most experienced and skilled saiwalas while young saiwalas take on smaller animals like mice, rabbits, or lizards, although this isn't always the case.

    saiwalas must not be seen by their soulbearers, otherwise they become very weak and are more likely to be poisoned by the evil. they use magic to remain invisible, but in rare circumstances, saiwala may step into the soulbearers' lives for a second or two without their magic, saving them from immense danger when the souls are at risk of breaking. when this happens, they're often seen as religious symbols and are often nicknamed "guardian angels" from their wings.

    saiwalas are eternal beings as long as their souls are strong. they will follow their souls through reincarnation to continue the cycle, but will wither away and become weakened if their souls lose hope. if this happens, both the soul and the saiwala will eventually fall to the evil forces rather than continue the cycle of reincarnation and the saiwala will no longer be immortal.

    there are two sides of this fight of good versus evil, and every saiwala belongs to one of them:

      the wailas are the light. they believe that every soul deserves to live out their lives and be happy, so they fight to protect the balance of the universe as it has been for thousands of years against the evil forces.

      the ubils, on the other hand, are a group of fallen saiwalas. their minds have been tainted with greed from not having the energy of a strong soul, so they fight to harness the energy of souls for themselves.

    saiwala cannot breed unless they are fighting for the wailas, but the ubils will have other perks to make up for the difference.

    saiwala only reproduce when their souls meet their soulmates and form strong "soul bonds" that are unbeatable by the evil forces. a soul bond sparks the creation of both a new soul and a baby saiwala in the universe. it is part of a saiwala's job to guide soulbearers to their soulmates, but they cannot force them together, only make suggestions. people may not always listen or see the signs.

    that's all I have so far for lore (: onto how the species will be run!

    I'd love to have an optional arpg for them with weekly events for development. wailas and ubils will compete to be #1 on ranking charts, while owners can develop their characters to enter for items in raffles. some examples of prompts might be wailas with their soulbearers or ubils' backstories.

    following lore is also optional. owners can develop their ocs however they want, but participation in the arpg will be strictly lore-based.

    with adopts, I'd like to stray away from traditional rarity systems. there won't be any major restrictions on edits aside from keeping basic things like a dragon-like head, horns somewhere on their body, and the posture you've created for them. items will also be encouraged. I think that giving a lot of freedom will make the species feel more fun and creative rather than restrictive, and it would avoid jealousy over not having rare traits. you want a tail edit? goop? feathered wings? extra limbs? go for it B) saiwalas are very diverse so almost anything is okay!

    free adopts would be created by artists, but myos would also be available in a shop for anyone who wants to design their own. I'd also set up a discord server so the community can chat (:

    that's everything I've got !! I tried to keep it pretty simple and easy to participate since I know there's a lot of kids on cs and I want them to be able to join in, but I also know that adults like me love arpgs so I don't want to limit older players <3

    good luck, everyone (:
