Description SMITE LORE (skip if you're not interested):
"There is no creature, living nor dead, more greedy, more vile than a dwarf. In the frozen reaches of Asgaard, beneath her mighty stone peaks, do they dwell, ever hammering to forge more gold jewelry, to carve more gleaming gems, to breathe curses into their finery.
    Among these wretched kin is Fafnir, son of Hreidmar, with a swollen smithing arm and a ravenous hunger for violence, both of which are eclipsed by his avarice.
    Once Spring, Odin, Loki, and Honir visited Hreidmar's realm, bearing an otter pelt they'd skinned on their journey. Horrified, Hreidmar entombed the Aesir, for the otter was, in truth, his third son. Freedom would not be theirs until Loki returned with the hide filled with gold. Refusing to be outdone, the Trickster God, stuffed the pelt to bursting with the cursed treasure of Andvarri. Hreidmar, unaware of the maligned hoard, greedily exchanged the Aesir for the wealth. That night, curling his powerful arm, Fafnir strangled his father and vanished into the frosted night with the cursed gold.
    And so it was that madness took him. Paranoid his last brother would steal the treasure, Fafnir guarded it jealously while the curse whispered in his ear. Slowly, surely, twisted he became, scaled and nightmarish. His breath turned to poison, his maw, fanged, his demeanor, fouler. A dragon, he became. The very symbol of greed.
    For centuries Fafnir kept no company, but the War of the Gods grows ever closer, and the clink of coin runs rampant; a bulging sack on the belt of every warrior. He craves every piece, and spares no thought to shed blood for the glittering gold."

Ooh, a dragon! Oh, another guy at his feet? Ehm.. Where are his feet? And tail? Hmm...

Allow me to explain. The main focus is the dwarf, not the dragon. The dwarf is Fafnir's main form after all. However, a dragon form slumbers in his body, with acidic breath and green scales, ready to burst out. The dragon I sprited is more like a projection, coming out of his back. That's why it doesn't have feet or a tail, nor does it cast a shadow.

Before you go all "Wow you made a dragon" on me, I did not 'make' this dragon, I pieced it together using bodyparts of a Wyvern with the head of a Manakete, both present in the Fire Emblem roster. I added nails to the wings and recolored the horns. I think it came out great, even though I left out some details.
Oh and Dwarf Fafnir came out nice too ^ u^;

Yeah. I suddenly became unsure.. You didn't think Episode 4 ended terribly?

Ooooh? What did you dooo? :3
I'm on the final part of Trails in the Sky. At least I think I am. Had to beat a tough opponent for an achievement (the story would've continued if I hadn't beaten him)..

well i forgot most of it. ...although I may have just put a kind of mental block on it. eep....

I didn't feel like  training up because I just wanted to see the ending, so I downed the difficulty a bit, shhhhhhhhh. Oh? So it's one of the things you were supposed to lost? I dunno why, but I love those moments.

Apophis324 In reply to White-wolf8 [2016-10-10 09:15:00 +0000 UTC]

That is possible. I don't think I can ever forget..

Ooooh, that's not cheating.. sorta.. I did that on Baldur's Gate 2 when I had trouble defeating a certain COWARD OF A DRAGON! >: |
Well, it wouldn't have mattered much to the story, or at least not that I know of, wheter you won or lost. However, winning does get you a nice and shiny achievement, sooo :3

Shiny stuff is good!

I hardly ever forget. Count yourself lucky!

This dragon wouldn't be punched in the knees. He would teleport just out of reach or become invisible and then.. FULL HEAL!

Being forgettable? Meh. As long as you know how to walk, remember to take showers and eat on a regular basis.. you're good

Yup. So I toned down the difficulty on that fight. Too bad you get less XP that way...
