Returning for part 2, I present to you Dragon!Leon during RE2! Once again, big thanks to @polarspaz for being such a big inspiration!! (Idk of you want me to keep tagging you in these lmk of you want me to stop soxjsijxosnz)
Below the cut for my rambles about this baby boy!
So! Leon is a Dragon Shifter, was born as one by one full blooded shifter and a regular human. So those with diluted blood, particularly with long lived and slow aging creatures, their growths are a little different. They age along with their human form. So Leon, in this case, is pretty big. Bro can't really fit in the halls of RPD, leaving him to navigate primarily in his human form.
Also, the RPD has NO idea Leon is a shifter, cause he has kept that shit on LOCK. The only reason why parts of his RPD uniform fit on his dragon body is cause he commissioned a buddy of his to enchant it to grow in size with him when he shifts. Thank you mysterious werewolf wizard or something o7.
As a pretty young dragon, his scales and colors are very vibrant. He takes a large amount of pride in his appearance, with his scales glittering like gold because of the different flecks on them. (Part of the reason why he is very upset when bro gets infected and wildly mutates, he hardly recognizes himself).
So, Leon's dragon form is capable of breathing fire, and while yes it's hot, it is NOT as hot as other much older dragons, as they get more powerful as they age. When Leom eventually gets infected with the Plagas, he's not longer able to breath fire. Instead, similar to like Deathgrippers in HtTYD (ty one commenter who said he looked like that, I legit didn't notice until u pointed it out lol) he can vomit a highly acidic venom that is capable of melting through most metals.
And why did I make Leon a Wyvern? Solely because the idea of Leon, when getting infected with the Plaga, forced to grow brand new limbs was too good to pass up. Bro went from using four limbs (not including the tail) to suddenly EIGHT? Dude doubled his limb count and hates it. He tripped a LOT in the beginning.
I have some plans for future doodles like showing the difference between RE2 Leon to RE4 pre-infected Leon, as well as maybe some character interactions, so stay tuned!! 8D
And of course, a height chart! Love me a good height chart. I do have a doodle in mind of @polarspaz 's Infected Leon's meeting my Infected Dragon Leon cause bro is so big. Like, they thought THEY'RE big? Woof, wait till they meet this bad boy who can easily stand at two stories tall lol.
The low growl would come something rather large in the shadows, claws scratched along the stone walkways and a glimmer of white scales was seen. The Slender Ice dragon was careful of the homes as it climbed around the buildings trying to make its way out of the city. Everything it touched would become coated in a thin layer of frost.
Rumbling, the dragon looked around and nearly sheer wings pulled close to the creatures frame. He clicked his teeth together.
Rawr! Leon is a dragon! We can't really tell what kind of dragon just yet; it's just like the moogles to have vague magic! (You can decide what kind of dragon!)
What the hell was happening to him?Leons entire body ached with a chill that the couldn’t understand, it had started early in the morning before he’d even woken up. Staggering from his bed he had tried to have a shower only for the warm water to feel like it was scalding hot.He would rub and scratch along his skin only to notice scales forming along his body, confusing him even more as he staggered down the stairs. “What....the fuck...” He groaned in pain, the air around him started to drop faster until a frosted fog took over. It followed the male as he staggered outside trying to call for help but his voice turned into a deep roar.No longer was it a man...
White claws gripped at the walkway. The creature that had taken Leons place was a massive dragon, scales of white and hints of light blue. The ground under him would coat with ice.Someone....help me....
