Description ... The Stomphorned Rampage called Topple 83

- - -

Name: Topple

Breed: Stomphorned Rampage

Gender: Female

Age: 11

Partner: Jelune

Current habitat: Jelune's house

Natural habitat: Mountains


Species info:

Generally kind, the Stomphorned Rampage is rarely one to attack first. However, this dragon is to be avoided during breeding season. Each gender being very parental, these species will defend their nest at all costs and will turn aggressive more quickly to intruders.

It thanks its name to the way it behaves when angered. It will literally rampage and uses mainly its weight and strength to remove any unwanted visitors. It will headbutt and slash and knock things over in its rage, violating the area around it. It can also release a few fire shots, but uses this only as a final attempt, as it prefers physical moves.

Despite its largeness, it can move considerably fast on land and -when angered or excited- it will move like a charging bull.

Do not be immediately alarmed upon an encounter. They are usually shy and calm, and will rather run away from you than assault. They will only attack when they feel their nest is in danger and thus will grow more tense when nesting. If you think a nest is nearby, don't make eyecontact and remove yourself from the spot spontaneously.


The Stomphorned Rampage isn't an exceptionally fast flyer. What it lacks in speed, it makes up in stamina, they can go flying for a few days straight without pause. Their strength also allows them to carry heavy loads.
When in battle, it will use its weight and strength to its advantage. When hunting, it levitates above its prey and then uses its body mass to drop itself towards the ground and catch it. It also searches for food by digging in the earth.

They exist in colours varying from browns to greys, depending on the area in which they reside.
They usually live in herds in large caves and each dragon creates its own nest, building it out of several rocks and earth, and sleeping on top of them.


Topple:

Is generally a big lovable log, sharing a personality close to that of a loyal golden retriever.

She is a bit klutzy. When she was little, she stumbled over her paws frequently, which resulted in Jelune naming the dragon 'Topple'. Incidentally, Jelune was/is rather klutzy herself, which ended in an unique and strong friendship between the two: "You catch me, I catch you."

She's quite enthusiastic when being called upon or playing, which often results in her knocking things/people over by accident. And so does Jelune, which makes them relate to each other even more. Topple cares for her a lot and will grow quite protective and aggressive when Jelune is in danger.

Since her species are good at longtime flights and carrying burdens, Jelune and Topple team up as a delivery team. When riders are off on a long distance travel, Jelune and Topple will usually carry the group's provisions.
Battle is not their main expertize, but they will be quick to render assistance when needed.

Phew, well that was a lot. So yes, this is Topple 8D I'm actually glad I kept this name. I had thought of it in the spirit of How to Train your Dragon, but since she probably won't belong to that universe anymore, I thought about changing her name. But after a brief online poll (of 3 people, haha) the name Topple was liked, so I kept it X3

And I'm happy 8D

I seriously had no idea yet what colours to put on her in advance. So I just played around a bit, thinking what kind of colours a dragon living in the mountains would have. I might change the colour scheme later on, this screen tends to show the colours all weird, so I might alter them a bit when I see them on another screen.

I'll post a picture of Jelune later X3

Hope you like her! Teeheeh 8D

Awesome! Aw, I'm jealous. I've been trying to create a proper dragon fursona of sorts for like 3 years and counting! Topple's cute & spikey. Kinda a dinosaur & winged rabbit--nice.

Ahahaha awwh! No need to be jealous! X3 I'm sure you'd make an amazing fursona with your talent!
Heeheeh, I actually sorta based the design on a cow, but the result was quite different from a cow XD But I was happy with it! And I'm glad you like it too! X3 Thanks budoodle-poodle! <3

Lol, thanks. I'll keep designing till I like it. XD

A COW?! Wow, did not expect that. Yes, not cow-like anymore! Glad you're happy with it. Welcome, as always, budoodle-noobdle!

Ahhhh a character reference sheet, I see! Wonderful! Everything about her look so natural.

BTW what's that background you use? It's so classic-looking.

OrionStorm In reply to whatsthesitch [2010-05-26 21:03:40 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, Alvin! X3 I'm glad you like her!

I think I actually got a little lucky with that background. When I scanned the original image, it scanned a lot of the paper's texture along with it, it doesn't always do that. I often draw on a beige paper rather than print paper, so the texture of the paper is somewhat rougher.

And I also added an old paper texture I found through Google and set it to 'Multiply' as the top layer =] So it's a bit of a combo of the original sheet and the one found on the net.

Thanks again! I'm happy you like it! ^.-

Topple! I love her design, Jas! x3 She looks so unique for a dragon, and everything about her is awesome. x3 There's so much to her in the picture; she looks both tough, but cute at the same time. Definitely lovable as well. ^^ You've drawn everything so well here; dragons can be so hard to draw, and yet everything here look just right!

Well done! x3

Thanks a lot, Shawn! X3 It was a fun challenge to come up with a dragon that lives in the mountains. 'Sturdy' was the main word that came to mind XD So I'm glad you pointed that out, thanks a lot! X3 You rock!

8DDDDD

OMG SHE'S ADORABLE~~~~ X333 I love the description, and I'm scared to see what'll happen when she's a mommy...maybe. >w>


Since her species are good at longtime flights and carrying burdens, Jelune and Topple team up as a delivery team. When riders are off on a long distance travel, Jelune and Topple will usually carry the group's provisions.
Battle is not their main expertize, but they will be quick to render assistance when needed.

8DDDDDDDDDDDDD!!! That means she can help Layla out! X3 (Layla's a messenger for the group...or will be once I finish her sheet. x3 )

I love that bit of them both being clumsy, that's too adorable either. XD Catchings for everyone, wheeeeeeee~

FAVE-Time!

WHOOOOO THANKS PAULA 8D

Teeheeh, maybe she'll be a mommy someday! Never say never!

Jelune: LOOKIT ALL THE LITTLE TOPPLES! <3333


Oh, SWEEEEEEET! 8D Yeah yeah, Jelune and Topple can join her whenever she needs to deliver messages X3 They can carry lots of food!

Ahahah, I'm glad you like that! 8D I just keep imagining little Topple falling over and Jelune catching her. And then Jelune trips and Topple catches her with her head X3

And when they're older, Jelune would be riding Topple and Topple would fall over, ending them both up with their faces in the sand XD Or Topple would fall over and almost squash Jelune by accident. Not that Jelune minds very much X3


WHOOO THANKS PAULA 8D RIDERS AW-HAY!

Layla: TOPPLE-CLONES~<33333333333 *tries to huggle them all*

Maybe so, maybe so. >w>

YES! They'll have loads of adventures of delivering mail, and food, and packages, and food, and students...and food. XD

D: I hope she doesn't squish Jelune. That would make a very sad Topple..and Layla and Boomer. >: XD Naaaah~ As long as she knew it was an accident, it'd be cute. X3

RIDERS, TO ADVENTURE=TIME~
