They kinda just look more basic tbh.

Fan redesign concepts: Sky Torcher & Flame Thrower

not much changed tbh

The mafia of TNR. I do not have much to say about them tbh.

Sky Torcher is a rather typical eastern dragon. I tried to make sense of his her coloration, so in my world these dragons camouflage for volcanic ash.

Sky Torchers have insane tolerance for heat and will nap and rest at the bottom of the lava/magma lakes, only their snouts poking out if anything at all.

Now Torchie has a dewlap she displays when intimidating her opponents. It will glow orange when she's charging an attack and attacking with fire. I replaced the tiny wings along her tail with just a long sail, which doesn't look very unique but not that awkward, I think? I'm trying to keep as similiar to original as possible lol

Torchie is a big girl

Flame Throwers. I do like their design in most part.

My biggest issue with them was their legs (which they share with a lot of other dragons native to TNR). The legs of the dragons in HTTYD were always one of the most distinctive things for me—they do not have long fingers. Most of them have a foot with nubs for fingers and impressive claws. So when a dragon has long fingers, it looks kind of out-of-franchise for me, if that makes sense? There were some exceptions, like Submaripper, who didn't have claws at all but frog-like paws instead, but my point stands imo lol

My Flame Throwers have bigger tusks that they use mostly for display; their bite force is actually very weak. They do, however, have VERY hot fire. Like they can stand toe-to-toe with Deadly Nadders, maybe even best them.

They're vaguely Thunder-sized

Symbiosis

Symbiosis of these two is kind of similar to the one between burrowing tarantulas and frogs.

Sky Torchers like to be hot, too hot for their eggs to bear and survive; therefore, their nesting grounds need to be at least a bit away from adults' perfect chill spot. But eggs are a very nutritious snack and easy to get when a parent is napping a bit away. Especially given the fact that most egg-eaters are much smaller, it is easy to not notice them from a distance or fight them when trying to not harm eggs.

Some Sky Torchers sacrifice their comfort and stay in colder places until their young hatch, doing their best to intimidate any possible annoyances, and some get themselves bodyguards—Flame Throwers. Flame Throwers will protect eggs from thieves in exchange for food and protection from bigger dragons.

For plot, Torchie and her gang will try expanding her territory (quite aggressively) for more prey as she is preparing to lay her eggs

now do the sky torcher. and it's army of simps- I mean the flame throwers.

yes? As always, rewrite lore under the cut

Sky Torchers as a whole... Do not like up to the name. They live in the desert-like region of the fire realm, and hunt together in packs. They have a similar vein-heat system as Nightmares, though lack a kerosene gel or a dull body system, said circulatory systems only present in their throat, underside of talons, and tail tip. While any ignition on the skin is present is minimal, this dragon can cook the slime off of a Cavern Crasher just by laying or grabbing them.

These dragons have a sensitive tail, due to the minimal spikes present, as well as weak jaws - they usually will grab prey and cook it, in the same manner a Nightmare will charge prey while on fire in a similar attempt.

Both The Sky Torcher and The Flame Throwers are outcasts among their kind. The Sky Torcher has pale scales that cannot blend into the cave, standing out and abandoned due to being a liability despite having no issue hunting.

The Flame Throwers, on the other hand, are Sky Torchers who's adult pack members left to the surface and were killed by scared humans. The Sky Torcher decided to take them under his wing, using Tom and the Riders as a great example of how to hunt prey-

Wait, where'd they go?

So the worst show in existence, aka Dragons: Nine Realms occupies a portion of my mind forever now

So naturally, I’ve decided to redesign and rewrite the entire show with the help of @demigod-of-the-agni

We’re both normal and sane
