I don't have a full design off the top of my head, but since we're already breaking FR dragon "rules" with the Undertide (all dragons to this point have had four legs and two wings, Undertide has NO legs), I'm thinking the Arcane ancient (if/when we get one) should be allowed to get a bit weird about it.
Hooves and/or a singular horn are the first idea, because a unicorn or Kirin-style dragon could be
really cool imo, but some other ideas include:
- Four wings/hind wings (like the Arcanist)
- Multiple pairs of eyes (solely on the head, not like multi-gaze but closer to a mirror)
- Little grabby hands at the "elbows" of the wings (like... where the wings fold, not where they join to the body)
- A COMICALLY wide mouth like with potoo or frogmouth birds
- BEAK
- More than four legs (also like the arcanist but also bc I wanna see them get weird with it)
I'm only kind of putting this out there as a "let's see what happens" vibe, but if none of these come to be I could always take a shot at it myself.

I'm cleaning up my lair, no hatchery projects atm!

This was part ofthe draw of Ancient dragons when they were first announced: that [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/2666061]they do not necessarily need to follow the "template" modern dragons do[/url] (due to their having to wear apparel). Banescales, I believe, were the first to break the mold with two legs, not four. Then Abes have two heads and two tails, of course.

That said, I hope the Arcane Ancient is jus tthe wildest thing we've ever seen. Some horrible mutated beast with legs and arms and teeth and eyes all over everywhere. A horrifying face would be on point for something the Arcanist designed, I think.

Ah, see, I keep forgetting about Banescales because I don't have any, doesn't quiiiite scratch my particular dragon itch. But yes, this is EXACTLY the kind of design bending I'm talking about.
Just make them SO disturbingly weird and let me adore them.

ough i will do 18 backflips if arcane ancient gets hooves, but i'll do 17 if it gets literally any ungulate features at all
that being said, i'm not sure i can see hooves being a thing unless its based on a kirin or unicorn like you said!
personally im hoping for many grabby hands and arms. i think it should look a little creepy and odd...i think if the breed had the weird lil nubblies that fae have on their wings, but like, on their body, i would be very happy with that too

Even undertides has some sort of "legs" in form of forth and hind pair of feather-funs. I hope in future devs become less and less scared breaker modern formula and really make something with multiple wings or leg-pairs or eyes ect.

TBH, I would love to see an Arcane ancient look more celestial than mutant. I think a kirin would be perfect for that though! (IMHO, Arcane really does need more to represent itself than one single plentiful breed. I'm glad water finally has an aqua-dynamic breed too!)

If writers are supposed to "show not tell," why are we called "storytellers" and not "storyshow-ers"?
I want super weird things in any way we can get them ;) Hooves would be hecking cool! For those saying “celestial,” hooves on an Arcane dragon make me think of AriesTaurusCapricornSagittariusPegasus you name it!

I like the point of weirder ancients.

Hooves should be more for a Kirin like nature ancient, not arcane tbh. Arcane should have mile long fingers and toes like arcanist.
