Long time, no art! I sort of had a strange period of no motivation or drive right after an art event, so I'm trying to get back into the swing of it with a dragon (classic GingerJay move)
Anyways, this little guy is an Edwin's Fairy Wyvern (Laetufaeridraco edwini- meaning Edwin's colorful fairy dragon).
Fairy Wyverns are the smallest of all Murrellian dragons, ranging in size from a sparrow to a robin. They are social omnivores found mostly in the Arcadias and Atlantis. They are light and airy dragons with long graceful wings and a fluttering flight almost like butterflies. Fairy wyverns do breathe fire, often a short concentrated plume at the eyes and face of larger predators.
Edwin's Fairy wyverns are found in the dragons isles, near the Arcadian peninsula. They are found in the canopy of tropical rainforests, searching for insects and berries to feed on. They are found in groups of 8-20, often flying in mated pairs within the flock. Females make cup nests out of mud and grass, and lay 3-5 eggs. Young hatch atricial and are guarded by the parents for up to three weeks before they fully fledge. Both males and females utter a distinct chattering warble as a flock contact call, but only males sing. The male's song is phonetically described as "Cheet-chit-chewit tzee", in a mechanical whistling tone. Both males and females also chirp and buzz.
was thinking about eiders again, and I wanted to make a critter out of it.
I don’t have a name for them yet, but these small nyctosaurids are found in the northern seas of Murrellia, diving for baitfish in the kelp forests. They are thought to be related to thunderauks and towercrests
I totally forgot that I drew this a couple weeks ago and then never shared it so uh….
MOUNTAIN DRAGON BLAST
This male Black-shouldered mountain dragon (Mahannparvatotyrannus nirgahumera- meaning black shouldered great mountain lord) is currently displaying his might, either as an aggressive sign towards a rival or as a defensive sign against a larger dragon.
Mountain dragons are some of the largest dragons in Murrellia, though some true dragons are heavier, and there may be one or two coastal dragons with longer wingspans, and the Tiamat is longer,but a mountain dragon is still massive.
Mountain dragons hunt smaller dragons, large dinosaurs and mammals, and other megafauna. They are highly territorial, with one male and female often sharing a territory.
Nests are made deep in mountain caves and kept warm by their parent’s ambient temperature. Around 20-30 eggs are laid, and once they hatch, adults care for them for about the first year of their lives. By then, the young are about the size of a man and venture out of their parents’ cave to fend for themselves. Young begin life hunting smaller prey than adults, chasing goats across the mountains and stalking deer in the forests and foothills. Young are tolerated in their parents territory until they are a little over half-sized, when they begin to hunt the same prey as adults.
Adults hunt by soaring above and diving upon prey, using the force and speed to knock them over and crush them, and if that doesn’t kill them, a mountain dragon’s powerful jaws will.
While full grown mountain dragons largely ignore people and even large livestock, juvenile and especially sub-adult mountain dragons are especially dangerous, being large and unruly. Mountain dragons living near settlements often have their young culled.
While mountain dragons are fierce and territorial and the means of many myths, they are largely benign and even pleasant to be around if you give them space. Some small towns and settlements have been known to set up in the territories of mountain dragons to defend themselves from other large dragons that hunt them, their livestock, and their food stores. Mountain dragon lairs are also often full of bats and other small cave dwellers that seek their warmth. Even large mammals, such as bears and sloths, have been found to live in the smaller side caverns and tunnels.
The idea that dragons collect treasure in their lairs actually comes from an old form of worship some regions used to perform where they would bring gold and food and other gifts to the mountain dragon they lived under. Dragons can be shocklingly intelligent, and there are several anecdotes of villagers swearing that “their” dragon recognized them and saved them from animal attacks or other dangers. Whether these are true or not has yet to be determined, but the stories are frequent and spread out enough through space and time that they may have some merit. This being said, there are also plenty of stories of people getting in their personal space and being burned to crisp, so perhaps it is best to simply treat these animals with respect.
WOOOOOO DRAGONS WOOOOOOOO YEAH
This fine gentleman here is a Blue-masked tasslewing (Fibriamopterus azulifrente- meaning blue faced tassel wing). He is currently engaging in a courtship display!
Tasslewing are relatively small wyverns found throughout the Arcadias. They are omnivorous and social, being found in loose groups of about 12. Males are more colorful, with big tassels on their wings. These tassels are made from cartilage and skin, and are rather flexible. While these dragons are mostly herbivorous, they can use their enlarged “canines” to hunt, and males use them in combat. These dragons are flighted, but they mostly walk or run. Tasslewing are mostly found in wetter habitats. Such as forests, prairies, and wetlands.
Blue masked tasslewing are found in the temperate deciduous forests in northeast upper Arcadia. They are a common species, with little fear of humans. They are not especially aggressive, but males can be territorial, and females defend their young viciously. More often than not though, they prefer to flee and slip away into the forest. Like many dragons, they are hesitant to use their fire unless absolutely pressed. People have tried to tame these dragons, and individuals raised from the egg do make good pets, but males especially can get aggressive unless they are well socialized.

Anotha one.
This is a Birdie’s lake serpent (Algeoccultoserpentes birdi- meaning Birdie’s weed-hidden serpent). It is found exclusively in lake Carrobee, in Pooroogooroo (an Australis island).
Lake serpents are part of the gracilitostrine clade, being closely related to whiskered and weedy serpents. Water serpents are themselves a type of wyrm, being most closely related to knuckers.
Might as well begin posting my massive backlog of art.
This here is a thick-tailed drake (no specific species yet). Thick tailed drakes are found in the dry scrub deserts of upper Arcadia and lemuria major. Much like geckos, they carry fat stored in their tails. They are pretty active predators, hunting small vertebrates and large insects. They themselves are only the size of a cat, and are mostly nocturnal to protect themselves from predators. They rest in burrows during the day, often those dug by other larger drakes and small desert sloths. Sometimes they will co-exist with the current owner of the burrow. They are mostly territorial, living singly or in pairs and defending a small territory through scent marking and vocalizations. Their voice has been described as a high-pitched whistling squeak, often ending in a descending buzz. Males and females look similar, though male are noted to be slightly larger and darker. Like many other drakes, they will gape and flash their bright tongues at predators as a warning. They have strong bites, and a recent study suggests that they may even have a mild venom.
It’s finally elf time!
I think it’s best to start with the wood elves. Elves are a cosmopolitan group, with hundreds if not thousands of variations, distinct populations,and races of sorts. This makes their classification a little funky. Most elf groups are more of an ecological morph than a distinct race. For example, wood elves in Arcadia are more closely related to Arcadian Drow and sun elves than lemurian wood elves.
Wood elves, also known as tree elves or forest elves, are the most common elves in Murrellia, both in range and population. They are found throughout a variety of wooded habitats around the planet, from boreal forests to open woodlands and seasonal jungles. Individuals from open woodlands are often yellowish, individuals from jungles are overall darker, and individuals from temperate forests turn brighter during the summer. They are sedentary, living in villages and treetop cities. They are the best climbers of all elves, living in the canopy of cities and villages. Wood elves often live in association with woodmen, halflings, and wood gnomes. Woodmen and wood elves have paired enough times that half-elves have become their own thing, kinda like labradoodles. Wood elves are often considered friendly, humble, and hardworking. They are social and kind people, likely influenced by their halfling and woodmen neighbors.
I don’t have much on their particular cultures yet, but hopefully as time passes I’ll come up with more.
