#mod assignments

(With some reasoning)

Callum would ride a Skrill!

Rayla would ride a Silver Phantom!

Ezran would ride a Night Fury! + Bait would be a hobgobbler! (C’mon, he is basically hiccup. Could also go sand wraith tho)

Soren would ride an Armorwing! ( dunno it just really fits somehow. Also considered Rumblehorn)

Claudia would ride a Deathgripper! (Fits her aesthetic pretty well (imagine a black and purple one!) and I feel their abilities suit her. Tho I do feel she would like a cute one… maybe she’d have terrible terror or something in s1)

(This got really long sorry)

Thinking about this was what inspired this blog so get ready for a long post where I explain my reasoning for each. No pictures as that would take so much space and as tma is a podcast and there are no canon designs I don't have any pictures to use anyway. I'm also somewhat inconsistent on when I assign a dragon based on the characters' powers or just vibes, but I mainly went with powers at least for the avatars. If you have any thoughts on any of these PLEASE tell me! Some of them I'm really unsure of STARTING WITH:

Jonathan "The Archivist" Sims - I've landed on Flightmare for now, but I don't feel like it really fits. Mainly chose it as even though I know it doesn't actually use fear to paralyze you, that is what they thought first and that was the closest I could get to something like Jon's abilities. If I didn't go based on powers I might go Night Fury but that just feels too cool for him (sorry Jon ily). Suggestions welcome (and needed).

Elias Bouchard - I don't know. Same problem as Jon. The Eye is a very psychological power and no dragons really have abilities based on that or knowledge. Feel like he would need something very old and powerful.

Martin Blackwood - Light Fury. But like a better less shiny version than the movie (more like the concept art). It can turn invisible which fits with the Lonely "vanishing" thing.

Tim Stoker - Typhoomerang. Not my idea. Saw someone else say it and it just. FITS. Idk why but it works. Vibes. Think there's something in how it can cause a lot of destruction.

Sasha James - Dramillion. Just vibes. For some reason I headcanon her as having bet birds and the dramillion is very parrot like. As usual Sasha, having very little "screen" time and basically no info is the one that's both hardest and easiest (we didn't really know her and therefore can just project whatever we like)

Melanie King - Razorwhip. Sharp, knives. I do also like Speedstinger for her just based on vibes. Both work

Georgie Barker - Terrible Terror. Basically a cat. Stand in for The Admrial. Wanted to give her something based on the no fear thing but it was hard. Like the chillest dragon I can think of is the buffalord but that felt kinda mean? But I kinda like the idea that she has a small, non rideble dragon as she is a less active character (in the beginning, she doesn't want to be involved at all)

Basira Hussain - Triple Stryke or Thunderdrum. Both vibe based. Thunderdrum was the first thing that came to mind, don't know why, just vibes, but I do think triple stryke fits better. Though I still can't really explain why.

Daisy Tonner - Deadly Nadder. Tracker and sharp class, perfect hunter.

Gerry Keay - Night Fury. Thought process: what's the most goth dragon? hmm, deathgripper or grim gnasher could work but they feel a bit too agressive... you know what? Night fury. He deserves it.

Peter Lukas - Snow Wraith. Best I could find. Fits the vibe, even if it isn't as foggy and isolated as I'd like.

Annabelle Cane - The most spidery dragon that exists. After scouring the wiki I found the Silkspanner and the Deadly Spinner which I think are from a comic and the nine realms which I haven't seen and doesn't really fit my criteria, but I will make an exeption for Annabelle cause I love her

Oliver Banks - Smothering Smokebreaths. Smoke kinda look like tendrils. Mostly vibes. As far as I'm aware there are no dragon death prophets.

Jude Perry - Monstrous Nightmare. Fire. That's it.

Agnes Montague - Fireworm queen. Fire. But different (it’s a queen and Agnes is a fire messiah, it fits)

The Distortion - Michael gets a Changewing and Helen a Deathsong. Both fit the distortion, having hypnotic abilities, but in different ways and I wanted them to have different dragons.

Mike Crew - Escaped a Skrill and now has a Stormcutter (unsure about stormcutter, best I could find, suggestions welcome)

Jane Prentiss - She is a hive of Fireworms. Really proud of this one! (could also go slitherwing but I want her to stay a hive)

Breekan and Hope - Hideous Zippleback. No explanation needed.

Jared Hopworth/the boneturner - Boneknapper

Manuela Dominguez and The Dark cult - Night terrors. Maxwell Rayner has the white one.

Viren would have an army of Smothering Smokebreaths! (Or I could see him using a Flightmare but he wouldn’t ride one)

Janai would ride a Fireworm queen! (A queen for a queen! Could also go monstrous nightmare or maybe even singetail)

Amaya would ride a Crimson Goregutter OR a Sentinel! (Really like the idea of a sentinel since they’re blind and rely on hearing and she’s deaf and relives on sight, but they have a specific purpose so probably wouldn’t want a rider but if we ignore that she would ride one and if not then I also feel a goregutter fits her vibe)

Terry would have a Vine Tail! (Didn’t know about this one, little info but it’s cute and fits his plant aesthetic. Could also go Snaptrapper for a more well known dragon but I feel it it’s better)
