I am inspired by photos of sharks feeding on drifting whale carcasses.

smaugust day fifteen—deathgripper

"Death comes in many forms in this world but none so swiftly as the assassin of the Ambush class. Built with tusks, pincers and poison, these leather-hide dragons are equipped to dispatch near any foe that treads their path."

not happy w this one tbh, i had a fun concept with the crests but i fucked the execution BUT. i cna recycle for my own dragon specie. anyway i made deathgrippers rlly buggy esp in the back legs.

they arent just bite—their necks and spine are very heavily guarded to defend against most counterattacks, fire fang or poison. the rest of their tails are covered in leathery scales, leaving only their blubbery underbelly soft

they are very quiet when they move sliwly, but speed causes their crests to clatter against each other and alerts prey. they will silently stalk larger prey in duos or trios before announcing their presence. they seem to wnjoy the chase but do not kill for sport

males are a brighter red and have patterns on their crests where females are duller and lack noteable patterning. males also tend to have larger, more curved tusks. the exmaple in the image is a female.

their pincers are not "true" pincers, instead heavily evolved hands with a single large claw. they walk on their knuckles.

i dont have much 2 say here im afraid </3 was never huge on deathgrippers
