Description Fauna Dragon for 's Dragon gang ( [link] )

The idea behind the fauna dragon, or at least my take on it, is a dragon that is in a state of constant flux, always displaying attributes of other creatures. Each time it takes a step, new attributes flow over it like water so that it is never the same dragon twice. The exceptions are its body length, the long neck and its eye color. These do not change. Its overall color is green, though it changes slightly due to the different animals it is borrowing from.
The dragon is very shy and only lives in the deepest forests. It tries to stay out of sight. The constant changes make it an awkward sight to behold but its movements are never ungainly. Though it usually has wings of some sort, the dragon rarely takes to the sky as it does not want to be seen. When airborne, the dragon retains its shape until it lands.
The fauna dragon is carnivorous, but is a peaceful creature where food is not an issue. There are no known instances of the dragon traveling or habitating with others of its kind, but due to its reclusive nature, it is possible that it has escaped observation.

So there ya go. This one is made up of different critters...
antlers- moose and deer combo
ears- caracal
eyes- snake
face/muzzle- cat/wolf
mane- parrot
wings- hawk/bat (you can just barely see it on the underside)
fore paws- rat
torso- cheetah
rear legs- deer
tail- anteater... (odd one, yeah?) ^^

What an incredibly clever idea!  And a beautifully executed one.  I'd genuinely love to see more versions of this dragon, as if flows through its different shapes.  Love it!

Very Mononoke-Hime.
A sad yet engrossing description, and a satisfying painterly illustration.

I really like how this one in this state has a massive trunk and eensy legs. It looks really surreal and bizzare.
