[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7843410, member: 58172"] I created an image of a Norse Dragon, called a ‘Drekar’. For Norse names, I lean toward using the Norse plural form, and then treating it in English as if both singular and plural. So for example: one Drekar, many Drekar, one Æsir, many Æsir, one Vanir, many Vanir. And so on. (Heh. I think it unreasonable for English speakers to need to understand Norse grammar rules. Heh, and looking at a Norse -R being dropped, or an English -S being added, is just painful.) The image is still a work in progress but it is a proof of concept. The Norse Dragon is specifically an adder snake. The color patterns tend to be black and silver-gold. It has a V-shaped ‘horns’ pattern on the back of its head. For the Dragon these horns are actual horns. And there is a black lightning bolt pattern across the spine. The shade of colors can vary significantly, from almost entirely black, to almost entirely silver, to almost entirely gold. And the females tend to be a slightly orangish-and-brownish shade of bronze. Wyrmling Drekar have no limbs. But Young Drekar emerge with arms after shedding their skin. The hands of the arms are prehensile eaglelike talons, that can manipulate objects like human hands can. Adult and Ancient Drekar might or might not also have eaglelike wings. Oh, and the eyes of the serpent are super cool. Even in reallife, the eyes look like various patterns of volcanic lava, with catlike slit pupils.
