-
Thanks so much for covering my project here. Feels surreal seeing my stuff on YouTube, great narration too, can't wait for part 2!
-
Even in a fantasy orcas are still the dominant sea species
-
People think fire breathing is impossible, but they forget that nature already has a living fire breathing creature. People forget about the fire-breathing beetle in the amazon. A beetle that shots a chemical concoction at high speeds that once it touches oxygen combust into a fire explosion.
-
I find it super interesting how they were speculative enough to invent an entirely new form of integument for the dragons. They have 'scales' but they're shaped and arranged similarly to feathers.
-
The funniest thing is that humans in that universe probably don't even see dragons as mystical majestic creatures and are used to them, same goes for our world, that already has a lot of beautiful and monstrous species, but for some reason we still dream of some cryptids because we are too used to knowing and seeing the real animals of our planet
-
I'm running a D&D campaign that aims to be a little more realistic and grounded than the typical over the top modern fantasy setting, and Draconology has really inspired me to introduce monsters that feel plausible and dangerous. It's a great project.
-
I like the fact that the Tiamat was portrayed as some sort of mossasaur-like creature.
-
We are so fascinated by dragons we want them to be real.
-
My idea about the Asian Dragon is that they are actually a giant relative of Paradise Flying Snake that is fully capable of flight not just gliding.
-
A long time ago there was a "documentary" called The Last Dragon. It was about a couple of paleologis caught in a cave and find Dragon fossils. They explain all the features of dragon's with biology.
-
10:28 The "Titan Drake" (Dirosuchus Maximus) is a majestic scaly critter, I imagine this drake as a deity in the world of Draconia and would have been voiced by "Liam Neeson" who voiced the great lion "Aslan" from C.S. Lewis The Chronicles of Narnia, Also I've gave this particular drake an individual name, I named him "Igby".
-
Just an idea, could Dragons use their flame breath as a way to create small updrafts that the dragon uses to rise and aid their heavy body
-
Humans did live with reptilian megafauna, we also wiped them into extinction, they were the megalania, almost the exact same as the ones seen in ark survival evolved, with some differences of course.
-
i have always loved dragons and i knew all the types of classifications. i thank the you for this video and the person who made this project. it has made my day and is really interesting. i do really wish dragons where real and possibly able to be befriended and we humans have a symbiotic relationship with them makinfg us having a beastly pet. like how dogs are like
-
I always thought dragons had 4 legs and wings on their backs and wyverns had 4 legs but their wings were attached to their front legs.
-
You should voice a documentary or have a podcast. Best voice ever
-
Wow!! Is like if Httyd whas mixted with Monster Hunter!! But More diverse, deep and natural!! Simply Marvelous!! Thank you!! Part 2 here whe go!! I love Bestiaries and speculative Evolution!! Yay!!
-
The fact that somehow dragons were talked about by like everyone across the world Makes me think something about them has to be real.
-
i always like the idea that dragons were real and driven extinct, it would make sense given all the stories of them being slayed, or prized for their hides.
