Thanks for the ping, I definitely needed the reminder (feel free to keep me on the daily pinglist if there's one!)
For the nature-themed mythological creature I went for a [b]Unicorn[/b]!
Unicorns are... wild, and unfortunately (or maybe not, horses can already be fairly unpredictable it's probably good that they don't come with a horn on top) mythological beings. The actual origin seems to be unknown (there's lots of ancient art of unicorns which is Really Fun To Look At if you're into looking at depictions of animals (real or not) from historical sources, and first described in writing by a Greek although the name we use now is from Latin.
(It's thought according to the Encyclopedia Britannica that that first description was referring to a rhino, which while less fun is perhaps a little comforting in terms of the writer's sanity, although there are some ancient descriptions and depictions of animals that do feel Really Out There until you... actually see the animal, bonus if the writer (or in the case of artistic depictions, the artist) has never seen any.)
In myths the unicorns are most often a horse with the one horn (and various other abilities, often rainbow-based by now), sometimes a goat, although rhinos are... well, actual unicorns. Some of them anyway. I put a horn on a Mirror for this, because Why Not?
[b]The actual outfit:[/b]
I made Quartz extra spiky, because you can like flowers *and* thorns, best of both worlds! Not the best dragon to hug, then again mirrors rarely fall in that category (they might dive into it, but definitely no falling). I wanted to keep her dark colours and still have the flower/nature aspect without adding more than silver tones, and I'm rather happy with how it came out!

Spiky Unicorn
This particular costume is inspired by the Horned King who leads the Wild Hunt in Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series. Real-life references include various legends and mythological tropes, most notably the Wild Hunt, a phenomenon occurring in midwinter (seeing it is a bad omen), and various Horned Deities. He is a symbol of the terror of Nature and the darkness of midwinter.

Okay, honestly, I probably could have been more creative with this but but eh. I like sharks. So, here is my shark/dragon (shrake if you will) scry, they have scars from battles, gems from raids/hoards, and is constantly surrounded by fish and, oddly enough, smoke, which makes them incredibly easy to fall prey to. They are known for their deathly stare and gripping jaws, so watch out! Don’t go swimming without protection…
I have actually designed a creature similar to this, so I might create a dragon like this sometime and have art of it. Thanks for looking at my scry, enjoy your day!

This outfit and Scry are based on the kelpie myth, a kelpie (or water kelpie) are shape-shifting spirits from Scottish folklore, they usually take the form of beautiful black/dark coloured horses that prey on humans. I absolutely adore kelpies and the kelpie apparel on FR so I really couldn’t resist this one, I would really recommend historical kelpie art or just kelpie art in general, all depictions of them are so beautiful and interesting :D. For this outfit though I strayed a little away from the dark horse colour palette, I just really wanted to make her kelp green, and the bloodred mane looked really nice with her scry,
I like to think that at one point she was chained to the loch floor to stop her from preying on innocent dragons (mostly hatchlings as most kelpie stories are about children) and after years of sitting on the floor of the loch, angry, so angry and incredibly hungry, she was overgrown with plant life (all animals knew to stay far from the ravenous kelpie at the bottom of the loch) and the chains finally eroded enough for her to make her escape, the hatchlings nearby better beware since the scary kelpie story their parents told them is a little realer than they thought it was, and she is [i]very[/i] hungry.

I had a lot of fun with her and her story! Probably gonna try and get a dragon like her soon and expand on the story a little more, hope you like her :D
Answer to the trickermurk question: I would like glowing mushroom apparel! Lots of glowing mushroom apparel, I love the mushrooms as part of the shadow flight’s theme and would like to see more of them! Also dark bramble apparel probably, maybe some more circus/carnival stuff like the jester and carousel sets. Maybe a shadow-y crow/bird familiar as well, that might be cool!

Honestly couldn’t figure out if you meant Scry dragons could be used or if it was supposed to be mannequin only or sm, my silly slow brain is just scrambled rn so I included both to be safe! My favourite Trickmurk Circus Skin is Definitely Shimmer Trick, mostly cause mushrooms, boy do I LOVE mushrooms- they’re just so pretty!
Here it is on the dragon

Once again I had loads of fun! Figuring out an outfit for this specific skin (and making a Scry dragon it would look good on) was harder than I thought it would be when I started but was a rewarding kind of difficult and I’m happy with the results!
My favourite festival skin is almost definitely Wormtongue from the 2020 Riot of Rot!
[skin=36387]
I don’t really know how to explain why other than it just looks really neat and I like extra eye accents :D Here it is on my girl Yahaira, which is actually probably why I love it so much, I just adore how it looks on her, her outfit is still a wip and I still need to buy the skin itself but I love how she will look when I’m done!
