So, I tried to understand which dragon form will suit best for my world: the classical reptilian (a) or unique giant insect design (b). Initially, I was firmly convinced that the insectoid dragon will do the best as I thought out that The World of Oominor was originally inhabited by invertebrates solely, but then I realized that need to understand my world better before giving a final verdict.

What is Oominor then? Well, first of all, the word Oominor originates from Rachana (Rachna) language, meaning Earth. Before elves, humans, dwarves, ogres, or even insectoid races, the Oominor was inhabited by pre-magi precursors that went extinct for an unknown reason, leaving behind cities settled by trespassers. But all of the new sentient races that colonized the intact world were not just simple frontiersmen. Around 5 000 years before the modern era a portal through The Border World connected to Oominor, opening a constant bridge between two realms. The Border World or also known as the Spirit World – is a plane of the fifth dimension that is inhabited by alien critters formed of pure energy, commonly known as spirits. The spirits fed on neurological energy created by thoughts of living organisms. Soon spirits found out that utilizing sentient beings for this purpose was a better brainchild. Every 100 or 200 years they started opening warp-holes to other dimensions, each being the alternative version of Earth where different intelligent life had a different ancestral background. The new races started colonizing Oominor as fast as possible. Some spirits began to possess newcomers' bodies using them as hosts and in return, they gained the power to bend the world with the power of fifth dimensions which Oominor people claimed to be magic.

With the arrival of sentient life forms, other animals also traveled via the connected portals threatening the original ecosystem with extinction. So, right now, I don’t know what the original animals of Oominor are, maybe the mammals never happened there and the most advanced critters are some forms of Placodonts. I don’t know. Oominor is another version of Earth and it’s interesting to speculate how evolution turned to a different path.

But right now, I’m still thinking about dragons… I’m not sure what to make of them. If you have better suggestions than insect or lizard, please share.
