I dunno why they made them more bestial looking - they are pretty intelligent. I see WotC took a page from Paizo's book with the Cyclopes, adding the whole "fallen ancient empire" lore bit? Interesting stuff, I do like the designs.Glad we are getting Animal Lords again, and they can finally get a mini! I always liked their concept. Can't say I like the Empyrean designs, the old Titan-style ones looked closer to the greek demigods they represented. These look like they are from Final Fantasy, or WoW...Icewind Dale was an anomaly, it basically depicted the two miniboss Half-Dragons as Succubi or Cambions. Half-Dragons never had fully human faces in D&D. There were some capable of shapeshifting, and those took on fully human forms to go unnoticed, but in their natural forms, they were a hybrid of Humanoid and Dragon.I cannot begin to explain how much I hate the whole anime-style "Human with horns and wings and a tail" anime "Dragons". It feels like an insult to anything Draconic. And especially, they really just look like traditional Demons/Devils from mythology, and not like Dragons.</blockquote>
