Drakenwolf

I think Toothless has always been a very realistic depiction of a dragon (especially by cartoon standards) since the first film released in 2010. He actually got less realistic as the franchise progressed and slowly removed his more animalistic traits.

He barely needed anything about him altered beyond a texture upgrade to fit within a live action film. He doesn't have any exaggerated proportions like we see on some of the other dragons, and his face is distinctly reptilian whilst still having the ability to be expressive. He is a good, believable example of a creature that could exist (ignoring the six limbs).

The live action makes him almost look like a mammal. His eyes are massive, his fucking lizard eyebrows (??) are so expressive that they might as well have just let him grow hair and he's just really smooth looking. Oily. He looks like a hairless cat. And to top it all off, they made him a digitigrade! Name one currently living reptile that has a resting posture where it is a toe walker!! You can't!!! THERE ARE NONE!!!! For my redesign of live action toothless, I scrapped live action toothless. I took animated toothless and just gave him more muscle in places wearing flying animals need muscle (chest and wing joints). He's got loaded as fuck secondary pecs, as I like to call them.

Grace is having a similar problem to Rocky, Rocky cannot seem to just give Grace his full attention sometimes which is fine mostly but.. well. Grace is a little greedy and a little bored, and one day he’s rummaging around in the storage area, opening boxes he’s never opened before and he finds..

A dog whistle!!

He almost goes to blow on it experimentally but then he pauses.

This is a brilliant scientific opportunity!!

Grace has about a million thoughts at once but it all boils down to this: Can Eridians be trained to react positively to certain sounds?

When Rocky discovers how humans can just.. tune people out he is shocked and more importantly very annoyed because he’ll try to get Grace’s attention and half the time he’s just nodding along or just doesn’t answer while he’s doing something

So one day Grace is doing just that, barely nodding along while doing something on the laptop and Rocky has a thought; “loud noises wake up humans while they’re sleeping, could they also be used to snap them into focus?” Rocky tests his hypothesis with a loud whistle, and to Rocky’s utter delight Grace immediately snaps his head up and looks at Rocky with a confused expression.

So he starts using it when he wants Grace’s attention, repeating that same exact whistle with perfect volume and pitch, at first Grace is a bit annoyed but he usually forgets about it when Rocky starts talking, but slowly over time there’s barely a reaction, Infact, Grace starts reacting quicker and without thought.

Rocky, ever curious, sees if he can get Grace to associate other sounds with certain things. He’s sure it won’t work, but he’s bored out of his mind and well. For science!!

So whenever Grace eats, Rocky will make a barely audible clicking sound before hand and Grace doesn’t notice, after a week or two of this Rocky decides to test it out

So when Grace inevitably forgets to eat one day, instead of Rocky annoying Grace into doing it, he just does the clicking sound, he doesnt expect it to actually do anything but low and behold a moment later Grace looks up and says “huh. Hey Rocky I might take a break and go eat, wanna come?”

Rocky has to do everything in his power not to cackle evilly with his new found power
