(still figuring out how I want to colour it, so this is definitely subject to change)

I figured since I changed it to be Allumos who blinded Viper it didn't really make sense for them to just be two sets of pretty neat claw marks? that's not really how eye scars work cause you know. Brow ridges exist.

While the fight between Viper and Allumos is brutal and Allumos is most definitely needlessly cruel at points ("at points" I say, knowing damn well Pádraig is the only reason Viper is even alive), I don't think it'd go as far as to specifically claw out Viper's eyes — it just doesn't make sense to do — so instead I've changed it to be from some sort of powerful blast that essentially burned Viper's eye sockets. I imagine this was possibly unintentional on Allumos's part, but 'whatever gets the job done'. I don't think this alone would've taken out Viper's eyes, I think that would've come a little later when [probably Michael] has come to the conclusion that his eyes can't be saved and it'd be best if they just got them taken out to avoid infection.

The sensitive scarred skin + the empty eye sockets also give a proper reason as to why Viper wears his bandana — to protect the skin and avoid infection as much as possible. It's already blind they don't need one otherwise lol.

Selena I imagine would have the most “average” teeth set, considering Light Dragons seem like they’d be a relatively omnivorous species of Dragon. Though, I imagine Light Dragons would still be better suited to eating meat than plants so I gave her two sets canines.

For Blake (this’ll be the same for Davis too) I took inspiration from bird “teeth” (birds dont have “teeth” in the usual sense, rather, some birds have ridges on their beak to help filter food from water n stuff), so most of the teeth are very sharp, I actually considered giving Blake more, smaller teeth but I chose not to (for now). This was mainly cause I imagine Sky Type Dragons to be more bird like, and thus adapted similar traits to real airborne species.

Vipers teeth set will more than likely change because I wasn’t looking too much at snake teeth, but I feel like they should be more like that after draw it so woopsies. Anywho, since snakes don’t really chew their meals, and are carnivorous, I decided to not give Vipers any molars, only one set of premolars since, well, he’s still a human after all. He’s got one set large fangs (though, again, this might change) on his upper jaw with a set of canine-incisors (not a real type of tooth as far as I’m aware!) for better piercing.

For Mario I decided to only give one set of canines, like a normal person lol, with a whopping 4 sets of molars!! This is largely due to how I imagine Earth Dragons to be physically, mostly herbivorous alongside literal rocks lol — you don’t really need teeth for piercing when the majority of your diet requires crushing and grinding lol. I still chose to give him a set of canines, cause ultimately Mario is still a human yanno.
