Dreki and Lindorm's are the Norse dragons. I teased the lindorm way back for the DnD dragons, but seeing as how we probably aren't going to get to them until 2018 I'll just post these two now. Many of the old lindorm depictions make them have snake/cat features, which influenced me into making them huge semiaquatic venom seals. They pretty much control the northern portion of Scandinavia's mountains and seas. Dreki are more common in the South, where they're the stereotypical fire+gold dragons. One German statue of them uses an elasmotherium skull as a base. When Caesar described the Germans and their lands, one of the inhabitants of the Hercynian forest was a strange deer-shaped ox with a single horn. He never mentioned the coloration, so I gave it the white/gold from Harry Potter. Some may say it's impractical for a forest animal to be so gaudy, but then again unicorns are renowned for not being able to be captured and also they're not real. To the Greeks, India was a weird, faraway place where dragons and unicorns and manticores just walked around like any other animal. Some guy would talk about how weird and fantastical tigers are and then make a passing remark about the huge elephant eating drakons. Unicorns supposedly have their origins here, and where imported afterwards. Not sure where the red/black/white pattern came from, but it sounds like something an antelope would be colored. The Indian Ants, or myrmekes but that's just the greek word for ant so it can be referring to any type of ant, are said to be fox-sized ants that collect gold for their nests, but people point out that they could've been Himalayan marmots. Instead of settling for that, why not make them a type of marmot impersonating a huge ant? After all, they were described as furry with animal-like heads. Odontotyrannos "the tooth tyrant" once attacked Alexander the Great. Some people depict them as saurian, but the descriptions all describe something big and horse-like. Obviously a Uintatherium/Paraceratherium hybrid. I've already talked ad nauseam about Indian Drakons here, but so far I've never talked about Phrygian drakons. They are, for the most part, pretty similar to the Hill Drakons, but are noteworthy for being able to hypnotize birds into flying into their mouths.
