[QUOTE="Nyeshet, post: 3997136, member: 18363"] When I read what they were considering for the Green Dragon in W&M, I presumed a more serpentine look (due to the mention of snake fangs, etc for the venom / poison idea they are now focused around). The new green dragon design (if that *is* the new design? maybe it is not too late for them to make a change or three?) does not in any way get across the idea of venom / poison. I can't even see the fangs they were speaking about in W&M, so perhaps that idea was scrapped? :sigh: A fanged, serpentine dragon would have been very enjoyable. I could see it living in rain forests, swamps, etc, using coloration to blend in so as to move close before the sudden strike, the bite causing horrific poison damage in addition to the normal bite damage. Perhaps like some snakes (and even a few lizards) it might even have bit and immediately released, trailing the now progressively weakening prey as it attempted to escape, attacking again and consuming it once it was nearly dead (or recently deceased). That would have made for a cool idea for the green dragon. What we seem to have perhaps gotten instead seems silly enough that I may have to reconsider using the green dragon - or at least redesign it if used in my worlds / campaigns. As I don't use miniatures that shouldn't be a problem. (A vivid imagination and using dice for placeholders on white-boards works just as well if not better, I've discovered.) [/QUOTE]
