vote now on your phones and place your bets everyone…what body plan will the nature ancient have—by which I mean, how many legs, wings, heads, tails, et cetera et cetera? how will it differentiate itself from modern dragons and other ancients? what will make this one Break The Mold—or fail to? I wanna hear everyone’s predictions, or just Hopes if you want!

myself, I’m hoping for a straight up wingless (more so than sandies) quadruped—or hexaped would be fine I suppose. but what I Expect and what im betting on is a quad with perhaps-vestigial wings on the forelimbs, a la banescales but they use their wing-arms to walk around.

theres a lot of talk of the nature ancient coming really soon, so the sooner you get your prediction down, the more impressive it is if it comes true! an arbitrary proclamation but I believe in it

Don't exalt them! Hit me up ;)
@Khuzdul well NOW im a little obsessed with the 'bush with legs' concept, hehe


i kind of hope its got a lot of legs though. we really only have aethers for that, but their extra arms are kind of... hidden, imo

maybe like a cool centipede dragon... MORE buglike dragons. i need it

well I bet it'll have a not-smooth hide/skin/whatever word for it that makes you feel decent. I don't mean that there'll be no smooth skin/whatever, but I think there'll be a lot of texture to reflect foresty concepts (maybe not bark but probably fur or hair or 3D scales or smth). Oh, and a bunch of horns (more than two) would be awesome.

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk about anything! I'm always happy to listen
I don't expect it to be anything that wild.
I'm expecting dinosaur 2.0

Maybe it will be a wyvern but I don't think it's going to be entirely legless or wingless.
Just think it will be a fiercer looking, poor man's wildclaw.
If it's a chonky breed, something like a T-Rex.

Or maybe (hopefully) something mammalian that's not Tundra V.4. Would really like a "God of the forest" type vibe with antlers.

Edit: others brought up a kirin, that would be lovely. Antler kirin god of the forest is my biggest wish.

Literally my safest guess is "truly wingless, legs optional".

There are so many possibilities with the nature ancient but I want a wingless dragon with no wings OR fins on its back. Yes I know we need to put the secondary color somewhere but... *slaps dragon's back like it's a car trunk* I need it empty.

The real question is how many legs? 4 because it's a quadruped like a kirin or deer? 2 because it's a lindwyrm or bipedal? Zero legs? Many? The list goes on.
