Still plumbing the depths, this time we go much deeper, practically to the bottom of the ocean.
My scrawl reads:
“Unlike terrestrial or even partially aquatic dragons, fully marine dragons rely less on horn and sacle for protection, instead ensuring their top predator spots through intellect and size. They are thin-skinned for dragons, but still equipped well enough to outmatch a single humanoid.”
My idea was that it’d be bulkier, better able to deal with the crushing pressures of the deep, and not as fast a swimmer, because I assume that the things that live down there range towards the big and slow, not the small and fast. This creature is more like an angler- or stonefish, where the pelagic dragon from the previous post is more like a marlin.
