[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7830840, member: 58172"] Its all about crocodiles and hippopotamuses. Maybe make the bronze dragon a monstrous crocodile. Make something like the tarrasque a monstrous hippopotamus. Nile crocodile. Hippopotamus. 15 kinds of venomous snakes (horned viper, various cobras, ...). Egyptians depicted winged snakes (and Herodotus claimed to have seen the skeleton of one in Egypt) 7-foot long Nile monitor lizard. Soft-shell turtle. Black rhinoceros. Many fish (perch, catfish, lungfish, ...). Many birds (ibis, kingfisher, Egyptian vulture, hawk, ...). Many insects (scarab beetle!, locust, ...). So many species of wildcats! The wild cat (Felis silvestris) origin of domesticated cats. Swamp cat (Felis chaus). Sand cat (Felis margarita). Cool looking caracal (Felis caracal). Many others. Various species of jackal, wolf, and fox. Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes). Somehow Ruppells Sand Fox (Vulpes rueppelli) is both cute and spooky. Blandfords Fox (Vulpes cana). Insanely adorable Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda). In Egypt and possibly near Nile: Leopard! Cheetah! Even lion, but not today. Nubian ibex. [/QUOTE]
