It's kind of interesting that the god of innovation looks like a dinosaur. Idk if there was any deeper intention behind those design choices besides rule of cool (who doesn't love dinosaurs?) but now I'm thinking, like: Stormcatcher is one of the oldest beings on Sornieth, it makes sense that he looks like an ancient creature, but those aspects of his design take cues from theropods specifically. You know, the things that modern birds evolved from (and still are.) Lightning Flight is all about progress, invention, forward thinking no matter what. Even their region's name, The Shifting Expanse, has more than one meaning: the desert sands shift from one place to another, and these dragons are always adapting their technology and ways of life. So Stormcatcher's design could be interpreted as a bridge between the concepts of "primordial being" and "being of the future". A "missing link", if you will. I think it would be funny if he had feathers.
