And I say this fully realizing that the Topaz dragon concept is already pretty fantastical...#2 Backward wings, they don't look like they are made for flying for this kind of dragon family.I certainly would use this dragon in D&D either as a unique being or a small subsect of (Topaz) dragons. Where the wings are not actually used for flying, they would essentially fly like a permanent upgraded fly spell. No, those wings would be used for some sort of energy attack, maybe in place of a breath weapon. So instead of so a cone, it would be a beam as wide as that wingspan or even multiple beam attacks, one of each tip/finger.Having a little bit of a background in aeronautical engineering, but no real complete understanding of animal flight beyond the basics. I was wondering if any of our animals actually fly that way...So... You're saying this is the dragon equivalent of the Dodo? Yes, sorry, there are no Topaz dragons anymore, they went extinct a LONG time ago! They were survivaly challenged... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />That's actually very interesting. I knew the hummingbird was pretty insane about it's flying, but imagining a dragon doing the same is mindblowing!</blockquote>
