Kára-Tak and Filsol as whelps

(Love her eye-covering bangs lol)

(And Fil looks like a little dinosaur)

This was a fun project, I might do this with the rest of my OCs at some point

4) What do you use as inspo for the trolls species of you Au?

Oh hell yea!

Qirikeks were inspired by kirins/qilin, cool deer dragons, I love them!

Agataras are meant to be related to Draal's species, but they took inspiration from different kinds of reptiles, and also nodosaurids, like Borealopelta.

For Mimiclings, I reused an old concept I made years ago as a kid of a dragon that camouflaged itself in trees.

Tundra Trolls, reindeer, and cold climate felines like lynx (for Juska) and snow leopard (for Uu'ruk).

Scitheraks, iridescent rocks, scythes, and peacocks. And also Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.

Freshwater Trolls, catfish, generally fish found in freshwaters, and otters. As well water dragons!

Gargoyles (Which I'm debating naming the species "Swalgoules"), big cats, and took heavy inspiration from the manticore.

And possibly the spikes were unintentionally and unconsciously inspired by Nergigante from Monster Hunter 😭🙏 (I have lately begun getting really into MH and I really like that monster :))

I have a couple of species made which I didn't put here because they aren't really done yet.

Kára-Tak's species got a name-

Qirikek Trolls!

Colorful and fluffy species of trolls, some characteristics of Qirikeks are two sets of unique horns, tall and lean build, fur that can vastly vary in color and texture, and their distinct "clicking"-noises that they make from the back of their throat (kinda like the clicking of the Western capercaillie or the sound that Predators make).

I'll come up with more info about them in the future-

And a fun fact for the AU;

Gunmar's signature clicking-growl developed from him trying to mimic Kára's clicking. And that kinda just stuck with him as he grew.

(I just thought this would be a really sweet little detail to add 💔)

(Actually 3, there's another design above Kára)

Yes

Nah
