No iteration will be spared in my mission to dragon beam everyone. And Chompy is PERFECT. Look at him!! So loveable and baby, i want a plushie version of him that i can hug.
He shows up in the AU later on in the timeline, probably after the movies events, i havent got a solid idea on when just yet.
In this AU Chompy is one of the very few (if not only) true dragons left and known to exist. REAL dragons, ones thats are not pseudo-dragon or dragon adjacent, are thought to be extinct or very close to it. A few ancient ones do exist, but the knowledge is extremely valuable and almost impossible to obtain unless you know who to ask. Draxums creations are the only recorded living specimens who fall into the true dragon category, only by technicality because of the dragon DNA Draxum had used in their creation.
His egg was being traded and sold and moved around the world as a bargaining chip, and the records about where his egg came from and if the mother it came from is still alive is unknown. His egg eventually landed in Big Mamas possession, no one knows how or why she got her hands on one and what her true intentions were for it, but raising them for her Battle Nexus is the most common guess.
Raph and his brothers heard news of a dragon, and Raph n Donnie dragged everyone along to investigate the rumors. Eventually and probably after breaking allot of walls, Raph finds the "dragon" and discovers Chompys egg, unhatched. He steals it and takes it back to the lair, where it hatches a few days later <3
Chompy was originally going to be a drake, but the idea of giving him wings that may or may not be useful later was too tempting to not include in the design. Its pretty simple for now, since i have plans for what he will look like when hes older, but im flip flopping between two different end results >:)
His breed of dragon can live for centuries and will grow to kaiju proportions, in 20 years he will be twice the size of a bus
Hes a lava dragon! Completely fireproof, and can breathe fire
