Prodraco reddiegoniensis



The Reddiegonian Dragon or Reswobian Swift Crocodile (Prodraco reddiegoniensis) are animals the occupy the North West of Reswobia, where they live in a gigantic caldera and the surrounding desert with it's shifting sand dunes. Visibility is very poor here because of the volcano puffing aways as well as the dragons themselves producing oily fumes due to the actions of their fire breathing apparatus. They are the genetically modified products of Flickertongue whose main purposes are to dig up the global crsut and allow the magma to take over the land and evaporate the sea. That is the way the legend goes anyway, whether Flickertongue and Psycorn exist is a matter of contention. Most in Reswobia don't believe this to be true.

Prodraco has long legs rather like a horse with a long tail that ends in a whiplash. There are spines that line the back and they have an erectile spiky frill. they not only have bat-like wings but bat-like ears and a nose leaf. Due to the limited visibility of their home they do tend to make use of echolocation to navigate their world. They have throat pacth with has an eye spot for display purposes. Generally they are red all over but it tends to fade into yellow on the underside. Above is an image of a young dragon. (The other creature below it is an ornithomimosaur complete with a beak). It is another set of images I produced when I was stressing over a maths assignment. The image below is one of an adult dragon that I did back in 2005 that I have included her for comparison. There is a volcano in the background.
