Propaganda (if any) under the cut! Please be civil, and feel free to reblog!
Propaganda for Manda [Toho]:
"A giant snake-like dragon or dragon-like snake, originally the guardian of the undersea kingdom of Mu, Manda is often aggressive and overconfident.
The final design in the original film was by Akira Watanabe, and the Japanese name for "Mammoth Serpent," Manmosu Da, was shortened to "Manda".
Manda also appeared in the Toho film Destroy All Monsters (albeit with a less fancy head), Toho: Final Wars, as well as various Toho comics and the anime Toho: Singular Point"
Propaganda for Mercury [Dragalia Lost]:
"Can also become a gorgeous human woman, if you're into that: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nintendo/images/8/80/Humanoid_Mercury.png/revision/latest?cb=20220815231008&path-prefix=en"
