Decided to turn Phillippe from Look Outside (pic related, that’s him) into a dragon
The design I came up with for this guy is very much inspired by how @shpepyao draws Phillippe. And seriously @shpepyao’s design for Phillippe is legit badass imo
Anyway onto describing the creature
I hope you like this @yourfavouritecharactersasdragons because I decided to pour as little effort as possible into this
This bizarre creature almost looks like a white-scaled, six-limbed dragon with a bronze-colored underbelly, two large red dots on its shoulders and a cloud of thick fog surrounding it when looked at from far away. It’s only when you get closer to it when you realize that the creature isn’t a dragon at all, and the ‘fog’ that always surrounds it is instead a cloud of hallucinogenic spores. The off-white ‘skin’ and ‘flesh’ of the dragon is an enormous fungal network that grew around the skeleton of a dragon, taking a shape similar to how the dragon looked in life sans the wings. In fact, the bleached bones of said deceased dragon are exposed in some areas, especially the feet (teeth and sharp bones repurposed as claws) and the back half of the tail. Various species of pale, deadly fungi (particularly the death cap) grow from its back, and they contribute to the production of the cloud of spores that surround it. Wherever its body makes contact with the ground, mycelial filaments extend from its body and into the soil, though these filaments recede whenever it gets up from rest, lifts up its feet or takes flight. Its underside, on the other hand, is instead the rusting and rusty remnants of the armor and weapons of would-be dragon slayers as well as the armor of their horses, all of it being held against its body as both protection and as trophies. The two large dots, instead of being pigmented spots on its body, more closely resemble the tops of the fruiting bodies of the fly agaric.
Its head is very similar in shape to the head of a shark, with four large eyes (the lower pair is smaller than the upper pair) sitting on either side of its head. Two appendages resembling the antennae of male mosquitoes or certain moths sprout from between its two larger eyes and function mainly as sensory organs (mainly for smell and touch), but can be used for expressing emotion due to their placement. The mouth, meanwhile, extends almost all the way down the neck. The teeth all look uneven and even look as though they grew in various sizes at first glance, but close inspection reveals them to be various sharp objects (knives, broken sword blades, sharpened rocks, sharpened sticks, broken bones, pieces of metal, etc.) that have been jammed into clods of earth, with both being held in place with particularly strong mycelia.
The wings of the dragon do not resemble the wings of bats, but instead resemble the wings of certain species of moths (think the Death's-head hawkmoth) when at rest. However, when extended, they more resemble the wings of butterflies, if almost entirely white in color. The underside of its wings are covered in structures that resemble the lamellae of certain species of fungus and are the main source of the cloud of spores that surrounds the creature. The front two pairs of legs resemble the legs of actual dragons, but the back pair of limbs more resemble pale versions of the trunks of trees, and the ‘feet’ of these limbs resemble the buttress roots of certain species of tropical trees.
Its breath weapon is a voluminous cloud of a toxic variant of the same hallucinogenic spores that surround the creature, with those who breathe in these spores describing, to put it charitably, nightmarish visions of the underworld before expiring. On some occasions, the corpses of those who breathe in these spores will reanimate and travel to open areas where they will then expire again, and the fungus growing within will emerge from the corpses. This phenomenon creates short-lived ‘fungal gardens’, and while the rather disturbing-looking mushrooms spawned by these gardens are poisonous if eaten, they are otherwise harmless and will die off after a week or two.
