Dragons Rising S3 E2 Spoilers

Tyr and the old dragonian ladies

He's a sweetheart. Taking care of these random strangers that crash landed by his camp, making friendly jokes, giving them food and medicine... We don't get much of a personality from him, but what I saw I immediately liked.

Please give me more Tyr!!!

And those old dragonian ladies

Dang. They were amazing. Prodding at Sora and Arin's relationship, super blunt and unfazed. I want to sit at their little table and learn life lessons from them.

So I get the set designers and writers try to collaborate but not always and sometimes the designers do their own thing and the writers really struggle to fit it in. Like man you can feel them struggle to fit it in and their utter lack of enthusiasm and I don’t blame them! Though I sometimes question the sets they choose to prioritize, and the ones they leave out.

But overall I get what happened with the Dragonians; The designers needed a new villain army so the writers were like, anthro dragons and that’s about as much thought as they put into the concept and really needed to, because lbr I don’t need another plot point taking time away from the Forbidden Five.

And the designers ended up doing their own thing with the Dragonians and decided just having them be scalies wasn’t enough, so they created this worldbuilding dynamic of the Dragonians and these little dragons that attach to their backs and grant them the power of flight AND fire breath!

But the writers didn’t expect that, they didn’t intend to, so they just left it out. And it’s a shame because sometimes the sets introduce ideas that I think would’ve been a lot more interesting than what we got in the actual show (a controlled Source Dragon of Motion being one of them), but here I think there was also an easy way to incorporate the idea at least a little?

Instead of a giant ring pop that breaks open to release energy blasts that hit the Dragonians and transform them… Have Thunderfang release his own progeny, a swarm of mini-dragons that latch onto the backs of the wingless Dragonians and fuse with their bodies to mutate them. Make the red Dragonians feel connected to the red dragon lurking right beneath their home. The animators couldn’t have started work until they had actual Dragonian models to work with, so we know they must’ve seen the final minifigures; I think the timeline still fits to add this detail!

There’s definitely the biggest set/story discrepancy with the Dragonians because we have the rocky Storm Village and an insignia not seen in the actual show. There’s giant looming chains in the box art but in the show Thunderfang’s prison just feels so disconnected from the Dragonians themselves despite being right next door. Doc Wyatt said he was imprisoned in a mountain but it’s actually a chasm.

You’re telling me the Dragonians never noticed the giant dragon right below? Never felt any rumbles or quakes, didn’t hear anything? Weren’t influenced by his presence over time? In the sets they have architecture but in the show it’s completely different. Yet at the same time the villager Dragonians just look so much better than the actual set Dragonians, but at the same time I prefer the sets’ worldbuilding!

Examples of females from each Paragon sapient race (minus Leviathan, Dwarves, and Beastfolk because I hadn’t fleshed them out enough yet when I did these).

Kinamel Holyblade (Human, “Daigliçi”) Note: This is an old design.

Taraphilia Luna-Caraway (Lunar Alara)

Sylpheed Wintersong (Dragonian) Note: This version was while I was playing around with Dragonian physiology and trying to make it fit with my current art style. This was not the final design I settled on.

Dragonian girl

Those born of the Dragon Mother, being half human, lack the morphing capabilities of true dragons. Dragon-like features intertwine with their human-shaped bodies.
