#shadowflare

I enjoyed seeing the Kamuran Icons made of the dragon characters from HTTYD, so I was eager to reach out to have one created depicting my newest dragon OC! Thank you again to @coolaise21-commissionsopen

Shadowflare's saddle design is based on the Defenders' Triple Stryke Saddle from the Dreamworks: School of Dragons game. Love the wicked long spikes along the back, as well as the black leather paired with the red shield on the front~😎🛡

Shadowflare is a Triple Stryke from the HTTYD universe. The Triple Stryke is a medium-sized Strike Class dragon, renowned for their battle prowess and trio of venomous tails.

The stinger on each tail produces a different type of venom. The first numbs opponents, the second disorients them with mild hallucinogens, and the third causes an agonizing burning sensation in the bloodstream. In combat, the Triple Stryke will often braid its three prehensile tails together to deliver more powerful blows.

While their trio of tails serve as their primary offense and defense in battle, the Triple Stryke can also breathe continous streams of highly concentrated orange flames, capable of blinding other combatants.

Character Bio:

Like Sleuther, Shadowflare was captured by Dragon Hunters, and forced to fight for survival in one of their brutal Dragon Fighting arenas against other captive dragons, where constant cruelty and combat forged him into a ferocious champion. When the Dragon Riders laid siege to the arena during a rescue mission, Shadowflare was freed and tended to by Marelda. Treating him not as a weapon, but as a fellow warrior deserving of care and respect, she became the first human to earn his trust and unwavering loyalty. While he remains uneasy around new and unfamiliar dragons and humans alike, Shadowflare shares an incredibly strong and devoted bond with his rider, and is fiercely protective of her. 🔥🐲🦂🖤💜🧡

Fun Fact 1: The Triple Stryke dragon design is an inspired combination of a scorpion, a bat, and a wasp~🦂🦇🐝
