PostSubject: just asking....   Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:30 am

could i bring a dragon to this world.....very sentient creature that could eat other creatures but perfer just to gather the magical energies from around them, they also feed on light.....though if a human or other creature annoys them enough they would happily eat them just to get rid of them.....very large creatures:adult height = 500 - 600 feet (unless they are a king or queen) length 1800+ feet....as are extremely docile creatures they perfer just to sit around like the sphinx, in egypt, all day. Can be suprisingly agile but only when they are in danger (why they'd be in danger...idk....can't be hurt......maybe some sort of portal trouble maybe....I just want to create a character based off my avatar.....plz respond soon

((I'll likely be moving this to Character Discussion))

I really have to question your logic of bringing a two-thousand foot long magical lizard to Felarya.

Like other comparably god-like or kaiju-like entities that people tend to want to bring to Felarya, I have to really just shake my head at the prospect.

Your avatar may be a dragon, and it's understandable that you may want to create a likeness of it in this world, but I don't think a creature so powerful, which is essentially larger than many of the largest races (look at Leviathan Merfolk and Kraken Caelia for reference) and creatures dwelling within Felarya itself, I don't believe that's a logical thing to bring here, at least as you've presented it.

If you want to make a character, it doesn't have to be bigger, more powerful, more invincible and more fearsome than every other precedent. In fact, it's quite a positive if it isn't.

In addition, as you've stated it just likes to lie around... So it doesn't particularly sound like a compelling character.

Yeah...to me anyway, I think its just too big. I mean, its 500-600ft tall, that is many times larger than most other preds which tend to not get much bigger than 100ft. The largest iteration of Godzilla was only a little over 300ft tall.

It could easily eat other preds if it wanted, and I doubt it would be able to see humans at all.

Other than that, the main issues are that one, it is, in your own words, unable to be hurt...and two, it likes to just lay around all day. I just don't see how it could be a compelling character.

Dragons in Felarya are probably possible to do well, but this one just doesn't seem like it would fit. At least to me.

woah! aren't the Tree's on Felarya like 3000 feet tall? And as this is one creature who has no magic abilities (decides breathing fire and living off the magical energies around him)The Sphinx in egypt is only slightly smaller than my creature...sphinx is like 400 ft tall and 1700 feet long...so he might be big by Felaryan standards but he also doesn't eat something unless it is extremly anoyying.... (it takes an extreme amount to piss him off and he doesn't perfer to eat humans so he could just aska fairy to come..."help" him with his problem.

You do realize that a fireball breathed by this creature would be over a mile in length? considering its already more than a 1/4 mile long.

Also, depends on what sphinx you are talking about. The Sphinx in Greek mythology wasn't much bigger than a human. It guarded a road, mauling anyone who could not answer its riddles. If you are referring to the Great Sphinx statue of Giza, it was much smaller than your estimates. It is 66ft tall and 240ft long.
Great Sphinx of Giza

I just think that this character seems overpowered. I mean, he's massive, invincible and can torch miles of the jungle at a time with his fire if he wanted. Im sure dragons could be done well, but this just seems...excessive.

Some trees are pretty big, but in relation to humans and normal tress on earth- they can also be very large relative to a person so that isn't too odd at all for that. The dragon you are speaking of is still very large compared to a lot of the normal creatures and races around, even the biggest as Fish has mentioned. As for the fairies comment, fairies do have limits on their powers- and it usually the shrinking portion ends around 12 feet or so in height that they can effect, unless it is a monstrously powerful fairy nearing Guardian status shrinking something that big probably would not work... But then again you can avoid it all just not having the dragon be that colossal to begin with- it's hard to interact with much of the world when you're that big anyways. You may want to expand on his personality some as well too (I know, it's just parotting what's been said but bleh)- laying around all day with no reason well is kinda limited story wise if you had that in mind for writing.

I agree with others posters here... This is really a huge size.
There is a few dragons in Felarya but I admit I'm a bit wary about them because of all the cliches/fandom that goes with them somehow...
I mean if there is a dragon in Felarya it should be a Felaryan dragon, not a dragon you could have encountered in any other fantasy realm in my opinion ^^;

I tend to dislike characters that are 130ft+, unless there is a REALLY good reason for them being that size (e.g being a Guardian).
Any bigger and interaction, as the others have already said, becomes impossible.

Ok, the best way to do it then would be to write a story about it, detail the character more, then see what everyone thinks, you can then get feedback on how to adapt/improve on the character

From the current trend the best way to work with dragons in Felarya is keep dragon look to a minimum. But feel free to all out with any single feature. Example(tail,wings,claws ect.)

A Felaryan 'dragon' may be:

http://felarya.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fauna3#Crystal_Dragon

http://felarya.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fauna4#Book_Wyrm

A 'non-pure dragon'? ... I think you are probably mistaken about that notion.

This is Terror's creator here

I beg of you dont' relate Terror to dragons if you can help it.

Also I MADE one of the only dragons in the wiki, Edgar dragons, they look like oldfasion dragons, midevil ones but with fairylikewings and such, two headed and so on.

But yeah Terror should not be related to dragons ever for fear she may start being called one.
