Description
I haven't done a separate Rahi/creature build in so long, so it felt really good building this. I've actually been wanting to build a small dragon for some time, but "small" & "dragon" don't normally go well together in my builds (heck, dragons in general are difficult for me to do). Got the last bit of motivation & inspiration after seeing
's Mui-Drake MOCs.
A fair amount of the body build is similar, but on that scale, the best you can really do is colour-swap key parts. I will be doing experimentation soon to see what parts can be effectively replaced by others to get the same effect, but I think this is a good start, for familiarization sake at least. The things I did differently were the tail, arms, & head. The tail was made longer, and more like a paddle/literal tail-fin. The arms use the same parts as the main body, just in black. They also feature hooks, which aren't attached by their axles. I wanted them to have more swivel, though I know how I could change it if I wanted them to be more static. And the head has more details to it. I didn't want something super simple, but I didn't want something excessively large & overly detailed. The only other thing added was the long things on the back, which are I guess decorational. Think of them as similar to Salazzles little things on its backside.
Creature bio
Sea-Dragons are normally gentle, docile creatures, often found tending to special, hidden coral reefs. They sometimes come ashore if there's something along the coastline they want, usually to add to the reefs ecosystem. Some cultures refer to them as the caretakers of the deep. Their diet consists mainly of underwater plant-life & small fish.
They don't normally show themselves around people, but bigger reefs that see frequent divers normally have Sea-Dragons that're more comfortable. But harm anything, and they will not hesitate to bunt to you the surface.
They can swim at incredible speeds, but generally move slowly. Should a predator come along, their first instinct is to bunt it away. Should the predator persist, Sea-Dragons will use their hooked fins to defend their reef & themselves.
No one knows for sure what their mating habits are, but there's folktales that it includes an elegant "dance" during a clear, full moon night.
