As promised im working on the httyd danny phantom crossover to make a comic out of! To begin with heres Danny's design!!
As part of a remote village dedicated to studying and slaying dragons positioned a day's boat ride from a permanent portal to the dragon realm where etherial ghostlike dragons live
After an incident I haven't decided on yet danny becomes a night fury lycanwing, a sort of half dragon thats a fair bit different than the breif description we get in race go the edge
While good chunks of the overall plot im cooking does draw from the httyd movies some things are different and happen differently due to the fact that its a dp crossover and instead of training a dragon Danny becomes one and the dragons themselves are often more intelligent!
The big dragon is Lyre! My monstrous nightmare oc! She is a teenage MN who lost their mother from dragon hunters and has been on the hunt to find her for a long time.
She ends up getting caught herself, but what she didn't expect was that a small(for a teenage) Silver Phantom to quite literally MELT the dragon-proof metal cage and break out.
Said Silver Phantom introduced herself as Ellie after the inital breakout, and Ellie showed her ability to shift between human and dragon. And easily (although mind-breaking) explaining how she(Ellie) was the ghost Princess of the infinite realms, whose father(Danny) was one of the strongest beings in all of everything(if that makes sense).
And Lyre decided why not teach Ellie of how their world works? It'll be finee! Plus she got a sweet new (although tinted green(and middle tooth)) tooth that could block out the control of a powerful alpha dragon's control!
(Been a bit since I did an Ennead AU or Prompt, huh)
They had been… Shattered, torn apart, barely developed cores ripped from still living bodies left spasming and rotting, consciousness frayed and trapped in the shards. Had been pulled apart further, warped until they could barely remember what they were before, flashes of separate memories coming together to form knowledge they did not like.
They had… found each other, less alive and dead than before, only continuing to exist from the saturation of the surrounding ecto. Had cobbled themselves together, nine becoming four then two, then one singular core.
One being of Nine, dripping blood, dripping gore and viscera of the living, hair still grasped in their claws as they dropped a head. They were many, yet one, all of them buzzing around each other like the circling of planets.
Hands flex, the movement, feeling of living flesh novel to their senses. Senses that confirmed what they had long dreaded. They were the last- the others gone, dead, shattered beyond hope. They hope it was painless, even as they knew it was not. The scientists never cared about how much pain they caused, only that they got results.
Where were their results now? Where were their weapons and torture that they were so proud of? It didn’t protect them, and the Nine that were One couldn’t help the laugh. What use was freedom when everyone was gone? When they could feel reality breaking apart from the unbalance that even their power was useless in correcting?
The dead and the living, the living and the dead, always chasing after the other in an endless cycle. Now broken, shattered like them, yet unable to be put back together.
They laughed, a broken, croaking, sobbing sound as they grieved for those whose names they could no longer remember. Who were now Nothing, no name to be whispered to the stars, no grave for a mutilated corpse to be lowered. Only chunks of gore tossed aside when their torturers were done, discarded like waste.
What else is there to do, but Wail, to let out their fury and grief and anguish into the void even as the world crumbles around them? What else is left but to drift as the abyss trails ever-hungry. There’s no more Ancients, no more Humans, nor more Life, and no Death to claim them.
So they are left adrift, tails lifeless, form shifting between Beast and Other as time escapes them. For there is no Time, no Space, not here, not in this emptiness where even the Infinite would not dare touch. How long they drifted, wandered, they did not, do not, know.
Yet they know the moment something disturbs their aimless wandering, the fuzzy, sputtering feeling trying to wrap around a wrist. They stare, even if they see nothing, heads tilting and twisting as they whisper amongst themselves. What is it, they wonder, the sensation something strange and unfamiliar compared to the ever-starving feeling that had long since become normal.
So they let it take hold, it would never have succeeded otherwise, and they open their eyes not in the Nothing, but to the Sun.
(Been a while so have some of the art I did of the Ennead lol)
(In dragon form the main body goes from the head/neck colors to a black while the underbelly is iridescent- Also yes there's a torn opening on their chest like a wound or maw) (Humanoid form is about 15' and dragon form varies around 200' or larger)
Hiccup and Toothless are flying through a storm to get home when, after a bolt of lightning to close for comfort, a tear rips open in the air front of them. They miss dodging and tumble through the acidic green hole in reality.
Hiccup shot a look around their lovely new (crash) landing space, only to be greeted by what must be the weirdest landscape he’s ever seen. Also the bit of torn sky they came through just decided to close itself again. Amazing.
The last thing Danny expected today was for a ‘realms messenger to pop out of nowhere and declare that the High King is required for Important Matters regarding a natural portal that, apparently, spat out a confused human and his excitable dragon companion (both alive, at that).
Is it really to much to ask for one (1) solid nap??
This time about the dragons themselves! Unlike a lycanwing most dragons are pretty etheiral made entirely of thick magical fire called ectoplasma!
skulker as you might imagine is a terrible terror with an armor wing suit! Ive also included a headshot concept for a night terror and a deadly nadder!
dragons all have these whispy eye trails (think wolf king if you've seen it on netflix or any of songdogx's comics with magic involved)
And lastly there also a little rainbow flock of terrible terror at the bottom
They come from a hidden world which can be accessed by portals only naturally forming but some become permanent and part of berk-amity's goal as a settlement is to figure out what causes portals especially permanent ones to form
One feature of permanent portals is the massive ring of fog and stone which eventually follow its formation which only dragons and very lucky ships can cross usually containing and/or forming an archipelago within
Now we see some of the larger changes to the orignal httyd story and the lore itself for this au
In this version vlad is the blacksmith that Danny is apprenticing under being the equivalent of gobber
Hes got a typhoomerang form ofc but its grounded as he's missing his forearm and thus most of his wing so he almost never takes the form anymore
Since the lycanwing curse is obtained not by the bite of another but specific circumstances involving one's death (that i still haven't quite decided on oops) vlad actually isn't aware of danny being a lycanwing for a good while
Vlad is of course Chief Jack's right hand (despite not having one) and isn't evil just chronically grumpy and having major rbf
Danny had to flee his home dimension, surprisingly, it was James(Dark Danny) that held the GiW and his parents the Fenton parents back.
Tucker, Sam, and Jazz were all killed in an explosion.
There was no going back as he went into the swirling green.
Danny floated through the ghost zone, thinking of what happened.
Ellie was somewhere in thr zone, exploring time periods or alternative worlds... As always.
Danny yelped when a portal appeared infront of him and he fell through.
He felt the portal wrap around him before spitting him back out onto sand.
Danny slowly got up, sand between his... claws?
He looked at his body and, he only wore shorts(at least), while he still had pale skin, but there were the few stray blue and purple scales. He felt the buzzing of electricity even more now, but the chill of the cold was still there...(duel core au, Electricity and Ice.)
He looked on his back, seeing two giant wings, the underside being sky blue, with specs of purple, the top side of his wings a dark purple, with specs of blue, the shape of his wings reminded him of leaves. (Silver Phantom/Skrill hybrid lycanwing)
He noticed a tail finally, the tail being thin, with black spikes with a tail fin at the end.
"Well this is a development..." he muttered.
standing up fully, he walked forward, finding a river. Looking down, he saw his reflection, his face a bit red from the sand scratching and irritating his skin, although there was some scales thst speckled his face, his eyes a piercing yellow, replacing the once green or blue eyes.
He saw some teeth poking out from his mouth and ran his tongue over his teeth, feeling how sharp they were.
he also saw the two small horns on his head.
He saw movement in the water, and instinctively, he locked in before lunging at the movement, catching a fish in his mouth.
He did feel disgusted, but only for a short second before he instantly ate it... the raw fish didn't taste so bad.
________________________
After eating, he took to mind what abilities he had, Intangibility, check, invisibility, check, ghost shield, check, although only for a little bit but good enough, Ghostly wail, he did feel the build up, but didn't use it, so check, ice, check, but can only use it from his mouth, electricity, check, same as ice but can also conjure it up on his skin. And ghost blasts, but they came out as plasma from his mouth aswell.
He heard wing flaps and got in a defensive position, wings flared up....

Hiccup walked over to the clearing, Toothless following close behind, where he saw the possibly new dragon species.
You know what could be fun for Ghosts Are Dragons? How to Train Your Dragon Crossover.
Like, both seafarers and vikings were incredibly superstitious people, even if we don’t see that a lot in the movie series.
And Danny well, he might’ve managed to convince Clockwork that you know what? They do deserve a vacation, fuck the Observants, let’s find a world where we don’t have to worry about the GIW and just vibe!
Now Clockwork, as anyone with eyes can tell, has a soft spot for the little ghost, there are even bets on when he’ll finally bite the bullet and properly adopt the little hatchling. In fact it’s so obvious that several others, Pandora and Frostbite included, borderline kick him out, telling him to yes, do go on a vacation, remember what happened when we all told Pariah to have a vacation and he didn’t? Exactly!
So there they go, a pair, er a trio, um, alright Clockwork currently has six hatchlings with him. Alright. Okay so he’s never had a vacation before (nevermind with his future vision mostly turned off) and is maybe a hint wrong-footed but that’s fine. It can’t be that hard, and really, he easily dwarfs even the biggest dragons in this world, so what’s going to mess with him, hm?
Ah.
Perhaps he should remember how idiotic humans are at times.
