[QUOTE="Richards, post: 13260, member: 508"] True, true - I never said they were the same creature, just that they were remarkable similar in shape, and I was just wondering if this was just a case of "brilliant minds thinking alike" :) or if Erica's might have been patterned after mine. Kind of like I wonder if the "sea drake" that Scott and/or Erica designed for Mongoose's "Seas of Blood" was a case of spontaneous independent creativity, or if it was possibly patterned after the silislithus, or sea drake, that appeared in the first "Greater Drakes" article in Dragon Magazine #260. (The fact that the sea drake in "Seas of Blood" has an attack form based on a throat bladder of all things, really makes me wonder, as throat bladder-based "breath weapons" were a major part of what makes greater drakes different from the standard dragon. Sure, their sea drake's got a slightly different throat bladder attack than mine, and their sea drake doesn't have wings, but it still makes me wonder.) Note that I'm not necessarily upset over this; just more curious than anything. (Hey, I've got access to several frowny face icons if I felt I needed them!) ;) Johnathan M. Richards [/QUOTE]
