This is a huge WIP
BOGSNEAK:
~Notes:
Based on Metoposaurus anatomical structure
Metoposaurus Example link
Skull is wide, forked tongue like a snake. Do they have chemical sensing glands in their mouths?
snake head example
Will be adding more bogsneak drawings in here when I have the time, going to do the skeletal drawing atop the XXX White scry
Other unfinished sketches of anatomy
Feel free to be asked to be added to the pinglist, if you want to see updates and new anatomy.

Skydancers
Built for extraordinary speed for short distances, this dragon is surprisingly adaptable to environments, as long as there are plenty of bugs and easy to reach non-fibrous plants.
Things I noticed.
~While built for speed, a Skydancer doesn't have the muscle to sustain speed over a long distance.
~Its wings seem to be useful for other things rather than just flying, as they have many different joints. Do Skydancers perhaps use their wings as an extra set of legs at times? Especially for an extra burst of speed?
~Eyes are very small for such a large animal. Likely has night blindness, as Skydancers are not actually predators, but eat bugs and plants alike.
~Consider Archaeopteryx as a close representation in some ways.
~Long tail, likely used both for balance and in some rare cases, perhaps defense? Sauropods used their tails for defense, so this is plausible.
~Hands are extremely adept at picking small things up, much like humans. Skydancers are definitely either right or left-handed.
~Long thin tongue like a giraffe, helpful for catching bugs and for grabbing hard to reach leaves.
~Molars more like a cat means it can't digest things like pinecones, as a skydancer simply isn't big enough to have a digestive system that can support extremely fibrous or tough materials. Likely eats soft leaves and grasses.

Alrighty, folks, I did some simplistic sketches of some Coatl anatomy. I hope you enjoy it, as it was quite interesting to do.
Based on:
Pigeon (For wings)
Reticulated Python (For skull, as I used to have pythons and Coatl heads look like python heads to me)
Deltadromeus (Raptor most commonly found in Morocco, used for most of the other bones, as I collect fossils and have lots and lots of dinosaur bones.)
Now, no doubt this wasn't the adorable fluffy Coatl you likely had in mind. I drew it as I would a python skull. This means the two lower jaws are able to literally detach from the skull, meaning it can swallow larger prey than it seems.
So don't let those cuddly looks fool you. Coatls are deadly.
Faes are next.
