My second time reblogging this, but I need to reiterate the fact that this is an outstanding Zach fanart. His hair, his tears, the emotions show in his eyes, and the butterflies all mesh together so well. Amazing art op!

Adrigon has a little brother now

Mmmmm i feel like right now, nolyn cannot fly but he can swim pretty well... but those talons hes got is a hassle

His seal form look normal because the harpy gene doesnt affect the magic of the selkie, therefore...he just looks like a normal seal

Oh man I'm so mad at lightlught baby designs especially co sidering that light fries are meant to be a semi aquatic species. Her wings should be more like fish fins that were adapted to the sky and not the batwing look of Toothleas. Her nu bier face frills are more like axolotls- can you imagine the babies more with an amphibious design or an axolotl look? The Lightfury was basically Toothless smoother and like ok sure but what I'd they went much farther and actually made her more aquatic? That would have been so cool and the babies would have been more interesting to hybridize. Also the nightlight babies should have had more unique traits across the board- not all hybridization are standardized even among offspring. -Martincrushcameback

I agree on your take......however, is the light fury supposed to be semi-aquatic like officially or is it just a headcanon the fandom agrees on? Because i dont know if it was specifically said in like the artbook or an interview...i tried searching it but i couldnt find a source

I'll talk about Simon Otto first then move to the art book!

According to Simon Otto, head of character development (https://ew.com/movies/2019/02/01/how-to-train-your-dragon-hidden-world-dragons/) she was inspired by snow leopards, axolotls and sea terns, so definitely semi-aquatic. But really I would have thought her camouflage abilities would have made her either inspired by an octopus or chameleon. To me, the axolotl is the only animal of the three that actually made it to her design. Her nubbier, rounded head fins looking more like axolotl sensor frills than Toothless's bulkier ones, the fact that the fin running along her spine is thin like a fish fin compared to other dragons having sharper and bulkier spines, and her rounded appearance seems more suited for aquatic life

The fact that she doesn't really reflect a snow leopard except her semi-catlike head tilt and body movement (which is more a reflection of Toothless than of her species I think, because ultimately she was designed as a perfect partner for him and not as a well-thought-out species, but that's just me complaining since he's already based on a cat and a dog and a bat). It would have been SO cool if she had had snow leopard spots or a way to survive the cold like snow leopards in her design.

The heart tail is basically to show she's the love interest, and MAYBE I can see the snow leopard in this one singular pose:

But I feel like she could have looked more like a snow leopard. Maybe a bigger tail? What about fur? If fur is forbidden for dragons in this franchise to create animal coherency, why not give her snow leopard patterns? At least for Toothless we can tell he was inspired by a cat in his movements and nature, a bat in how he sleeps, and and a dog in his playful nature. Where are her big soft paws or body built with blubber or fur for cold climates like a snow leopard? Her semi-aquatic habits of the axolotl in more than just the frills and back fin?

I can sort of see the Sea Tern in her wing shape if I squint and maybe close both my eyes but.... not really.

I think the Sea Tern was more in reference to the sleek way she flies, rather than wing shape, though her wing shape being more Tern would be VERY cool.

BUT NOW TO THE ART BOOK! (pictures snagged from this post but they are directly from the book).

Here are some of the Light Fury original concept images from said art book:

I LOVE the last one because it's a colour study for potential patterning for her scales by Woonyung Jung and some of them have spots. I can also see where the aquatic ideas and even more snow leopard ideas were abandoned and it's a real shame cause they had some REALLY good ideas like the tail shape, patterns and axolotl frills.

Anyways she deserves to have a more unique design in my opinion.

Addition: she does technically have patterns (for that matter, Toothless actually has patterns too except if I remember correctly you really only see them in the first movie which is a HUGE shame) but they're so impossible to see

I see.....but why wouldnt she be classed tidal? Instead of strike class (hypothetical and rhetorical question), NOW you can say that night furies and light furies are related therefore they are all in strike class......but it doesnt make sense if she is semi-aquatic

The sand wraith is a tidal class dragon, their appearance is similar to the night furies but it wasnt disclosed that they are related to the fury species. They are also semi-aquatic yet they are classed tidal and not strike or both....

It is such a shame really, i think the light fury could have so much potential but since the director didnt want her to look reptilian or else she'll look less feminine...so now she looks like some fucked up mammalian rather than a reptilian dragon

Her design overall is- like you said, not put alot of thought for her species, she feels like an outsider to the other dragons. Why have glitter-like stripes on her body? Because female, why no spikes? Because female, her design is supposed to just be female, down to her body..

I mean toothless was already across the line from the other dragons and YET they still made him feel like he belongs in the httyd universe, but the light fury???????? Not so much, infact, shes so far away..

And...actually, there are dragons with fur! The woolly howl is a dragon that.....also kinda resembles the night fury, and in live in cold areas, so they developed fur! AND GUESS WHAT! they are also a strike class dragon....aoooo are they and sand wraiths related to the fury species? Probably not...

And even wkth fur they still look like they actually belong in the httyd universe...

So....overall, the light fury feels like an invasive species, in a sense that she doesnt look like she contributes in the habitat she lives in...i dont get it!

WHERE do light furies live? Did they originally live somewhere else or do they live in the hidden world? It would make more sense that light furies are cave dwelling dragons therefore the reason why they have pale colours and glitter patterns! It LOOKS like they are meant to habitat the hidden world.

If she really is semi-aquatic we have never seen her doing something aquatic related, it would be so much more interesting if she has any tidal-based abilities rather than having the disappearing act which is already unique for her species but then toothless cannot be out-badassed so they also make him able to disappear and make the light fury's ability not as unique anymore...the httyd 3 movie is an actual mess and i cannot tell you how much they butchered the whole premise of the first movie AND butchered every character INCLUDING TOITHLESS in the third movie

I genuinely think the only reason she is strike class is because she is made for toothless, but if we are to assume the class is related to the ability then strike class would make sense for her plasma attack. also Didn't Toothless USED to be Mystery Class until they reclassified him as strike class because they didn't know enough about nightfuries? Tidal class dragons tend to have abilities that make them tidal class.... I mean the windwalker looks like it's not aquatic at all and it's a tidal class only because it can make blasts of water. And according to school of dragons the sand wraith is a tidal class because even though it's a sand blasting dragon it can hold it's breath for a long time, making it adept at catching prey in the water, and it's meant to have a semi-aquatic lifestyle. So.... while the light fury has a strike class weapon, she could still be a tidal class dragon. ESPECIALLY considering one of the MOST adept creatures on the planet at camouflage is the octopus who uses not only their melanin sacs to make different colours but can manipulate their bodies to appear more rigid or spiked etc. It's sort of implied in the Hidden World that because of dragons being overhunted they found that paradise to hide in but what if lightfuries WERE semi aquatic, cave-dwelling dragons that used their semi aquatic nature to store eggs in tidepools inside deep caverns? Good for protection. Camouflage abilities for sky AND sea use to hunt prey from above in either location, extrasensory head frills to give them better reception underwater would make sense too, considering Toothless CAN echo locate as seen in the TV show. this is something that works as a bat type dragon and makes sense for a species who hunt best in total darkness. By contrast, perhaps for a semiaquatic branch of the species adapted to living in caverns in the dark where their scales are bright to help encourage light to pass into the darkness and refract to let them see, they would not need to echo locate if their extrasensory frills assist in sensing. I have a lot of thoughts about my favourite movie franchise, particularly the dragon designs.
