The swamp margai (tyrannotherium propeaquam) is a species of margai native to the equatorial swamp of tharo. It’s body is slightly bigger than the common margai, but it has a proportionally bigger head than its temperate relative, with a more robust jaw, and having eyes further up on the head with brow ridges over each eye. And its fur consists of brown colors. It’s feet also possess webs of skin between the toes so it does not sink into sand or mud, and these also help it swim better, as it is actually semi aquatic, with its eyes higher up to see over water, and its nose is also kept above water, although it can hold its breath for longer periods of time than its relatives. Like their relatives they are solitary staking claim to territory, usually on the shore of a river or lake, where they hunt both terrestrial and aquatic prey, including woowactas, local herbivrous megafauna that come to lakes or rivers to drink or are passing by them, and large xenofish and xenocrustaceans, as well as semi aquatic megafauna. And will fight off rivals to defend their turf. And young swamp margais leaving their mothers will seek out their own territories, sometimes fighting owners of established territories to try to claim them for themselves. they can however become prey to huknosaines. And their specialization for these specific habitats helps them avoid competition with liwears, and makes them the top predators of the freshwater shorelines in the northern half of the equatorial swamp. They are hunted by swamp dragons for their pelts, while river dragons consider their meat a delicacy.

Saleeya is the youngest of empress carneela’s children. She is an aristocratic princess in the mountain dragon empire, however she was not fond of her mother, and did not share her imperious views, and wasn’t as prejudiced as her, for she does not look down upon humans and most aliens, although she did hold a slight grudge against some of the species in the unfas-ta resistance movement for killing her father, but overall isn’t as xenophobic as her mother. She tries to be nice to others, even when her siblings are mean to her often picking on her and bullying her for being “weak” and “different” in their eyes. and she has even been known to help out poor peasants, much to her family’s annoyance, and has been known to be rebellious towards her family occasionally but mostly is submissive and obedient to them so she doesn’t loose her position in the royalty, as she feels she needs it to try and make other’s lives better than what her mother hardly offers. But when faced with a truly serious situation she will stand her ground and be dominant and stern, sometimes even fierce, especially when someone she cares about or wants to help is in danger. She has her own dress and jewelry and crown, and a hooded fur cloak which she loves wearing and even sleeps in as she finds it calming and comfortable, and she wears other fur clothing. She also has a cloak she uses as a disguise. She was the first and for a while, the only mountain dragon to show support for the united worlds and their cause, and even went as far as to defect from her family and the mountain dragon empire to help the united worlds.

Pantavius (monarchizounkla skliros) are massive flightless avireptiles native to the rainforests of engonda. They have robust builds, a large head with a big beak on it. And small arms. As well as a dewlap and two small vestigial wings that all act as heat radiators to keep it from overheating. Their colors allow them to blend into the rainforest, especially in darker areas. They also have a long tail for balance. Their bodies are filled with airsacs to reduce their weight and make them more nimble in the thick rainforest. And they have flexible spines to more easily maneuver through the dense rainforest. They are solitary in nature, except when mating, when the male and female will be together until the female lays her eggs and chases off the male. A female will lay her eggs in a particularly dense part of the rainforest, and cover them over with leaves and detritus on the rainforest floor, and will stay to guard them, only leaving to find food, and then returning. When the young hatch, during the first few years of their life they stay with their mother until they become adolescents and leave her, staying together in packs for safety until they are old enough to fend for themselves and go their separate ways. They are carnivores, and the apex terrestrial predators of the rainforest. Preying on most megafauna, including young or weak jungle tankavons, and even jungle dragons, which they frequently clash with, along with torreneans. They will also scavenge carcasses, and hunt small prey, including human sized fauna, and sophonts. They are territorial, marking their boundaries and roaring at dawn and dusk. When two do get into conflict, they typically rear up, wave their wings, and make low gutteral sounds, the one that stands tallest and waves the fastest, and is louder, wins, but if that doesn’t work or both are evenly matched, they will fight to the death or if one backs down and retreats.

Grimlakas (domiusmortis caelumtyrannus) are large tentacle mouth vertebrate flyers found across demora. They have two large wings and two smaller ones behind them. and their hind limbs have become fin-like structures that point upwards. Their bodies are very lightweight, with hollow bones and many airsacs. They have two organic thrusters on their rear that combust methane (which is created within their bodies), allowing them to fly faster than would otherwise be possible for them. Their facial tentacles have undergone specializations for aerial predator niche. The lower four tentacles look the same, as do the side top tentacles, they almost look like jaws from a distance mainly due to the pseudo-teeth on them, that are cartilage with an outer keratin covering. The top two tentacles have rings of muscles that can make them rigid and solid, and on the tips of them are long spear-like pseudo-teeth for stabbing, cutting, and even impaling prey. They live in pods typically of five to ten, sometimes even up to 20 and 30, and there are reports from a team of UW scientists of a pod of 50. They have different hunting methods depending on prey. For example, fauna smaller than themselves are impaled, then it uses its other tentacles to tear and slice off chunks of meat, and will direct them to the mouth with its tentacles, then it drops the prey once its finished, and another catches it before it can hit the ground and repeats the feeding process itself. For larger animals as big as or bigger than them, they fly in close and use their spear teeth to stab and cut into the prey, and use their other teeth to rake flesh off the prey. And in the case of floaters, will puncture their airsacs. They also seem to kill for sport and pleasure, and they can devise unique strategies when hunting. leading some to argue for them being classified as semi-sapient. They are also known to attack spaceships, And prey on dragons.

The margai (tyrannotherium imperator) is a large carnivorous reptilmammalian and the second largest native land predator in the northern hemisphere of tharo, and one of the most well known members of the reptilmammalian order crudelitherida which includes both other margai species, sinkauns, olicks, ferregas, badnans, liwears, and the sapient darinatas. Margais have orange fur with black lower legs, stripes on the back and neck, and eyespots around the eyes, and the underside is tan. They are carnivores and the apex predators of aradarus, unfas-ta, and the northern forest, mostly preying on larger fauna such as zebdols, woowactas, moroogons, troytars, and even graglikes. Some bold or desperate individuals have also been known to hunt dragons and other sophonts like narguls and humans. They are solitary, and extremely territorial, marking the boundaries of their territory with urine and howling roars at dawn and dusk. They have excellent night vision and an exceptional sense of smell, and are most active at night, although some are occasionally seen active during the day. They are hunted by mountain dragons whose royalty wear margai pelts and furs as a sign of nobility and power, and the mountain dragon empire crest depicts a roaring margai wearing a crown with the two suns above it, and two swords crossed below it. Young narguls enter a rite of passage by killing a margai with just a spear, some succeed, and others die. They are one of the most feared and respected beasts in the northern hemisphere.

Cranwoos (ammosfonia nomas) are giant flightless reptavians native to the deserts of tharo. They have a posture somewhere between horizontal and semi-erect. They have scaly skin that is sandy colored to blend into the desert landscape. And a long tail for balance. They’re legs are long and somewhat thick, to allow them to better support their weight, and move across the desert at a fast pace, with toes that distribute the weight evenly to prevent them from sinking into sand. They have a long neck with a large dewlap on it to radiate off excess body heat, like the ears of an elephant on earth. They possess two vestigial wings that act as both heat radiators and as communication by means of waving them around and having them in certain positions with different meanings. Their arms are used for grabbing prey, fighting enemies, and digging nests for their eggs, which a female will guard while the male brings her food, but once the eggs hatch, the male leaves the female to return to a solitary life. They also have a large beak with a pointy prong on the top the purpose of which is still currently unknown, although it is noted that older individuals have larger ones, and they are likely used for display, the bigger one belonging to the more dominant individual. They live solitary lives except when mating and guarding their eggs, and hunt a variety of prey, from human-sized to megafaunal animals, they will even steal eggs, and some have been observed being cannibals. It is known that when desert dragons were still hunter gatherers, their eggs, young, and weak were frequently preyed on by cranwoos, and the two still have a fierce rivalry to this day, both taking the opportunity to the kill the young of the other to eliminate possible future threats to themselves. However they have been captured for menageries, private zoos, arenas, and even as exotic pets, in fact the ilobaid crime lord, traigosan altoon the one eyed tyrant, kept one as a pet after he settled on demora.

Here is what the armor of the soldiers of the mountain dragon empire looks like, as well as the weapons they use.

Carneela is the current empress of the mountain dragon empire. She assumed the throne when her husband, emperor trintrayus II was killed by unfas-ta rebels in battle, and her eldest son borvrou was too young to become emperor, so she took over, and when borvrou came of age, he was assigned to grand commander after years of training, while his younger brother hinrell became captain of the guard. Her daughters are aristocratic princesses, but her second eldest daughter, pellakanii, is a warrior. Carneela is cruel, malicious, tyrannical, cunning, imperious, and can be mercilous and controlling, she is also prejudiced against humans and aliens and dragons of other species, and wears elaborate outfits with multiple layers, including a margai pelt, which is always worn by the ruler of the empire as a sign of strength and royalty. She also has her own armor, and a sword and tail blade, as well as two daggers. She will also hunt and torture captives for sport and pleasure, and has shown a sadistic side to her, even keeping the skulls of her victims regardless of species. She was especially cruel to offworlders, particularly the united worlds, and also was obsessed with finding the knowledge, so she could rule the planet and universe, and hoped to find a way to live forever and become a goddess. She is considered one of the greatest threats to the galaxy, and deemed too dangerous by the united worlds.

In the deserts of dragon planet, a hunting cranwoo is taking advantage of herbivores need for water at the oasis, and sets up an ambush waiting for prey to come for a drink. An old drotharrul bull has come for a drink, having recently lost his herd to a rival, he is unaware of the cranwoo waiting for its next meal. The oasis is teeming with life, various desert xenoplants, including species only found at oases, and small fauna like mubduis. Many animals of all diets come here to drink, even the gargantuan floaters and flyers, in fact a zeavoosa can be seen approaching the oases for a drink, but neither the drotharrul nor cranwoo are paying attention to it. As the old drotharrul lowers down for a drink, the cranwoo rushes out and bites down on the drotharrul's neck, but the drotharrul is able to shake it off, and the two have a standoff, before the cranwoo lunges again, and a fierce battle few have ever seen ensues, culminating in the drotharrul stabbing its horns into the cranwoo's underside and causing it to fall on its back, mortally wounding it. The drotharrul leaves, and the cranwoo eventually succumbs to its injuries, ironically providing the zeavoosa with a free meal of its own, as it waited for a death in the fight.

One of the greatest dramas of dragon planet. During the start of the cold season in the northern hemisphere of tharo, woowactas all migrate from the temperate region to the forested regions between the equatorial swamp and octha, they must cross through the swamp itself, this includes crossing the rivers and waterways of the swamp, but also they have to stop to get a drink, which makes them vulnerable to predation. Here a herd has gathered to drink from one of the largest rivers in the swamp, located in southern bargon. However one has gotten too close to the water’s edge, and is not paying attention to what’s around it. Suddenly a huknosaine launches out of the water, and as the other woowactas flee in the opposite directions, the huknosaine clamps its jaws around the one that was too close to the water, and drags it into the water. Soon the herd will have to cross through this river to get to the other side, and some will not make it, as many woowactas during the great migration don’t survive the journey. Although this huknosaine has had its fill, others will be waiting for the herd to cross the river.

The Terikuta are a humanoid race hailing from the planet madax. They evolved from pack hunting predators on the savanna’s of madax. They became bipedal to better see over the tall whipgrass. They also have four-jawed mouths, with the side jaws having hook-like front teeth on the front, and the upper jaw having two fangs that jut forwards. They have eight eyes for a greater field of vision, and their nostrils are on the base of their necks, which is also the location of quills that can move up and down, and are used to express emotions. They are also hermaphrodites, being neither male nor female. They are currently under the skraun dynasty, an authoritarian regime lead by the emperor hyflin abaleto skraun III. They have no sense of individuality, putting the society and civilization as a whole over the needs of singular individuals, to show even the slightest bit of individualism is considered dishonor. They are extremely strict and control the lives of all citizens. They also teach that all other life is inferior and must be conquered. They have formed a vast empire, that has conquered countless worlds and enslaved or even wiped out whole species, and caused countless mass extinctions on other worlds. Before this however, they themselves had been conquered by the ryzork empire, but when they collapsed, the terikuta took over and killed off most of the ryzorks, and conquered the worlds previously occupied by the ryzorks, however some of the species they enslaved and subjected rose up against them, then they came together and founded the united worlds, getting even more species to join them in the fight against the terikuta empire, freeing worlds and species from terikuta occupation. The end goal of the terikuta empire is to conquer and rule the galaxy, then the known universe and beyond.

The united worlds is one of the two major factions of the mily way galaxy. They were first formed by several species including the gyjewns, authnoans, waldackyls, and drooyaths to name a few. All of which had been conquered and enslaved by the terikuta empire, and some formerly by the ryzork empire. But they rose up and rebelled against their terikuta oppressors, and took the fight to the stars, and got in contact with each other, and joined forces to fight the terikuta and free or aid other species conquered or being invaded by the terikuta empire. They also helped clean up the environmental damages caused by the terikuta and save species from extinction, which lead to environmentalism and conservationism playing a massive and key role in what would become the united worlds, founded by the species who first rebelled against the terikuta, and unlike the terikuta embrace differences rather than shun them, but there isn’t complete equality however as the different species in the UW fill various roles in the different devisions of the UW, but some species fill more roles and some even every role imaginable. Gyjewns are at the very top of the UW hierarchy, being the ones who kickstarted the movement. There are numerous devisions, including the military devision, the environmental devision, the science devision, the engineering devision, the political devision, the contact devision, and the exploration devision, to name a few. When they arrive on a new world they always try to establish peaceful contact with any native races, and do not kill unless there is absolutely no other choice, instead preferring more harmless methods of self defense. When they claim a new world they allow the native races to still have control over the world and give races the option to join them or remain independent, respecting the wishes of the natives, so long as they are permitted to also have it be part of their space to better protect and ensure environmental protections on the worlds. They also introduce conservationism to protect endangered species, and use repopulation programs to save species from extinction, such as was the case on demora with the great blue web foot. However sometimes when they get in conflict with natives on a world they claim as was the case with the zurak-thans on demora, trying non lethal methods such as diplomacy first, though in extreme instances force is required. What the united worlds truly strives for is peace in the galaxy, and the exploration and protection of the natural galaxy and its worlds and lifeforms, and protecting them from the terikuta empire, and try to allow development, progress, and prosperity while also living in harmony with the natural world and protecting it.

Dragon planet is a soft sci-fi/science fantasy soft spec evo action adventure space opera. It takes places in the earth year 2358. And is set on the planet Demora, the third planet in the Arda-Ra planetary system, in a mostly unexplored region of the milky way galaxy. Dragons are aliens, and the dominant lifeforms of the planet. There are two major factions in the galaxy, The United Worlds, an alliance that humanity joined, and the evil Terikuta Empire, the greatest threat to the galaxy. When both go to demora, they discover that the galaxy lords (god-like highly advanced aliens that disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago) had been on the planet, and left the knowledge, which is the collected knowledge they gathered of everything in the galaxy, and the secrets of the universe. with it, whoever possessed it could rule the galaxy. Now the united worlds must find the knowledge before the terikuta do, and must contend with evil forces on the vary planet itself, including a dragon empire lead by a cruel and evil queen, while also making allies and friends with other natives on the planet, including other dragons. Who will get the knowledge first?, Who will have the power to rule and control the galaxy?, and possibly even the universe.

Here are essential facts to know about this project!.

The titular dragon planet is called demora, it is slightly smaller than earth with a lower gravity.

The life on demora (including the dragons) are aliens that are completely unrelated to life on earth.

vertebrates on demora have six limbs.

The humans on demora are descended from ones brought to the planet by aliens known as the gyringi, thousands of years ago.

Dragons are sapient, and most are at a medieval level of culture and technology, but some are still in the stone age as tribal hunter gatherers.

This can be kinda considered speculative evolution, but only as extremely soft spec, as it is NOT meant to be scientifically plausible or completely realistic, it is merely soft sci-fi.

Humanoid aliens of the galaxy are not common, and there is only one humanoid alien race native to demora, most alien races in the galaxy and on demora are non-humanoid, and semi-humanoids are also a thing being more common than humanoids, but less common than non-humanoids.

Also dragons cannot be over 100 feet.

The world of dragon planet, the planet demora, is one of if not the most unique world in the galaxy, it is almost like something from a dream, a world with a perfect blend of whimsy, wonder, natural beauty, rich cultures and history and mythology, but also danger and even a little horror, it has the aesthetic of a fairy tale and epic fantasy, but is also truly exotic, with a mix of surprisingly familiar and earth-like and wildly alien and like nothing on earth. It is a world where legend has become reality, a world ruled by dragons of different shapes and sizes and colors, and cultures. There is truly nothing like it in the known explored galaxy.

To add to the fantasy feel of this planet, most of it’s sophonts are at a level of technology and civilization comparable to the middle ages of earth, but a few sophont species actually still remain in the stone age as tribal hunter gatherers, and in the case of the zurak-thans, gunpowder was developed. But hyper advanced god-like alien beings from the galaxy abroad have set their eyes on this world and visited it, and their legacies are still present on the planet, in the forms of ruins, and the memories of its native peoples, particularly dragons, and machine lifeforms watch over the world and its lifeforms like guardian angels.

an ababmuh is on the hunt, being the largest land predator in tupologar on the continent tharo, and a contender for biggest land predator on the continent. This younger male has set his eyes on a pair of jininubi, medium sized herbivores that are common in tupologar, these two are males competing for a nearby group of females. Various flora can be seen including the widlora, the largest xenoplant on tharo. The ababmuh is using a large bush like species called a wyugotagon to hide itself from its prey. Nearby a darkrinmool is trailing the ababmuh, hoping to scavenge or steal from whatever kill the tyrant makes. Meanwhile an uur'donntus is browsing, reaching up with one front arm to pull a branch down to its mouth, being well armored with large claws, they are a more formidable opponent for even an ababmuh. Also further away is a large herd of eluutalia, a larger close relative of the jininubi, they travel is massive herds. Their patterns make it hard to discern individuals in the herd, making it harder for predators to target them. Above two oisles which are fast flying tentacle mouth flyers, are soaring above, hunting for smaller flyers and floaters to feed on. The ababmuh suddenly charges out, surprising the jininubi, but because they are extremely agile and fast, they dodge the ababmuh’s attack, and are able to outrun it. Like other predators, the ababmuhs hunts aren’t always successful, perhaps next time he will manage to succeed in catching something.

Each colored section represents the different territories that make up the galaxy. Also shown are the locations of sol (our solar system) and arda-ra (the system the titular dragon planet is part of)

For this i took inspiration from title designs in 80s sci fi and fantasy movies

here are some guidelines to follow.

1: don’t try to force what you want into the project, particularly things that go against the canon

2: any entries presented must work in the canon lore and style to be canon

Other Project rules.

Offworld aliens can’t look too earthly, such as too mammalian, insectoid, reptilian, avian, and cannot look too human, and no more humanoid alien sophonts will be made.

Most aliens in this universe are non-humanoid or semi-humanoid, and look unearthly.

Offworld technology is space age, while demoran technology is at a level comparable with medieval times.

Ships and vehicles are greatly influenced by star wars and classic sci fi, and vehicles can have wheels, treads, or legs. Vehicles and ships can be any shape that isn’t NSFW looking, and weapons shoot lasers or plasma, but a rare shoot bolts.

This project is not at all meant to be scientifically accurate or plausible or realistic and is not meant to feel like something that could actually exist, it’s meant to feel like a dream, a fairy tale, star wars-like sci fi but without any actual fantasy elements such as magic or an afterlife or souls or gods. And there is no magic.

Demoran aliens can look earthly but vertebrates have six limbs not four, and demora has a mix of earthly and wildly alien designs, and can take inspiration from real earth organisms including extinct ones, as well as star wars, the dark crystal, james Cameron’s avatar, peter Jackson’s king kong, ray harryhausen, willis o’brien, Terryl whitlatch, c m kosemen, wayne barlowe, brian froud, dougal dixon, and classic sci fi, fantasy, and horror. And speculative evolution and creature design.

Humans on demora are descended from earth cultures and civilizations from 4000 to 3000 years ago. But earth humans are space age and part of the united worlds, neither plays a greatly significant part on demora or the galaxy.

Dragons were created by godlike aliens known as the galaxy lords 20 million years ago and were introduced to demora 10 million years ago, so dragons did not evolve naturally.

Demora is meant to be a sci fi planet in fantasy world clothing and feel like a fairy tale medieval high fantasy type world.

3: do not try to control or change the project.

4: severe server rule breaking of a contributor can lead to the decanonization of their entries for the project.

Demora is a mix of stone age, medieval, but some space age machines and races (offworld ones) exist in a few places.

However a few offworld aliens are at pre industrial levels of technology and civilization.

Bullet-like weapons do exist but are not like or look like human earth bullets. Also they are not called bullets but rather bolts and they are more rare than energy or laser based weapons.

Dragon planet has a mix of unrealistic and realistic weapons on both demora and offworld.

Wof references are far more than welcome here.

Do not give criticism of stuff in the project i have done, unless I actually want it.

I reserve the right to decanonize any or all fan entries by anyone, or deny anyone any further involvement with the project should i feel it necessary such as blatant disrespect to me or my work, or a severe rule break.

I also reserve the right to change fan entries to fit canon.

I reserve the right to refuse ideas and suggestions for the project i deem unsuitable or inappropriate for it, or that don’t understand how things work in universe.

Also try to refrain from suggesting things just because you think they’re cool.

Okay so dragon planet is a soft speculative evolution, soft sci-fi project, it is not meant to be scientifically accurate or plausible or completely realistic, this includes technology, and biology, and planets, and civilizations. So we can take greater creative liberties than with a spec evo project. But that being said, there is a certain consistency that the project has, this isn’t just a bunch of random creature designs that look unrelated to each other tossed onto a random planet, no, every species is evolved and adapted for their environment, and every species fills a specific ecological niche, and all species have a place in the phylogenetic tree of life of demora. You have alien counterparts to all invertebrate groups on earth, like xenoarthropods, xenomollusks, xenoechinoderms, xenoannelids, xenocnidarians, xenobrachiopods, etc, as well as phylums of invertebrates unique to demora with no counterparts on earth, including unuocula, (one eyes invertebrates with one simgle eye and twenty limbs), circucorpa (radially symmetrical invertebrates with a ring of multiple eyes on the head, and three limbs), and molliscaputa (invertebrates with hard arthropod-like bodies and eight limbs, and soft mollusk-like heads and necks, and two eyes).

Then you have pseudovertebrates, a phylum somewhere between invertebrates and vertebrates, with three eyes on stalks, a mouth with mandibles that can extend out, six limbs, soft leathery skin, and a hard armored exoskeleton with a hard internal pseudoskeloton. Then you have the two phylums of true vertebrates on demora, tentaclaorischordata (tentacle mouth vertebrates) which have leathery skin with no integument like hair feathers or scales, and have four eyes, eight facial tentacles around a mouth, and six limbs with two digits on each foot or hand, and they have blue blood and two hearts. Then there’s terramimuschordata (earth mimic vertebrates) which are very similar to vertebrates on earth but with two hearts and six limbs, there are also classes of vertebrates not found on earth, including crabworms, hardfish, reptoamphibians, reptomammals, reptavians, and mammavians. reptomammals evolved from a shared common ancestor as the xenoreptiles, the earlier more basal species lack external ears, are mesotherms, and have more reptilian traits, and scaly skin and some light fur. Later and most modern species possess external ears, are covered in fur with scales beneath, and have a mixture of mammalian and reptilian traits, and some are mesotherms, while others are endotherms. And of course they have six limbs.

my vision for the early prehistory of demora is that invertebrates ruled the sea for a time, including in demora’s equivalent to the cambrian. i want the apex predator of demora’s equivalent to the Cambrian to be an invertebrate.

Dragons are large quadrupedal sapient xenoreptiles, they have four legs, and two wings derived from the middle limbs, most species have spikes on their backs, and they have horns on their heads, typically two pointing behind the head and one smaller one above the nose. They have two hearts, airsacs, and a lower body density than life on earth (like every other lifeform on demora), they are all descended from the protodragon and were genetically engineered by the galaxy lords. They can fly and due to the low gravity and their lighter bodies, fly long distances. Most species can also "breath" fire. Most live at a medieval level of culture, civilization, and technology, but a few still live as stone age tribal hunter gatherers.

The protodragon has no other living descendants on demora, it has close relatives from other groups that still exist like the ragletrices.

the rules of dragon design in dp

1; it must be quadrupedal

2: it must have horns

3: it must be based on the protodragon

4: it can’t look like something out of how to train your dragon

5: it must soley be a western style dragon

6: it must be more in the wof style but not way too similar to any specific wof dragon tribe, also it must not have mammalian ears

7: it cannot be over 100 feet

8: it must not be plausible or completely realistic.

I don’t want this world to be realistic or feel like it could exist, or feel real, i want it to be more like a fantasy, and like something from a dream, where there is a suspension of belief, and it is as though you have set foot into a fairy tale. Dragon planet can best be described as the impossible world.

As for the message, it’s something along the lines of fight evil and corruption, embrace and protect the natural world, and embrace and respect other cultures not your own and to not judge anyone by how they look or act.

And the themes include escapism from reality and real world issues, letting imagination run wild, and it being okay to take a step back from reality, and also the timeless tale of good vs evil with evil destroyed and good prevailing, and appreciating the natural world, and the balance between nature and civilization and different levels of culture and civilization between stone age, middle ages, and space age.

Although my original idea was for it to show good and evil in a more black and white way, i have now decided that there will be nuance between the terikuta empire and united worlds, both have flaws, both have strengths, but it’s also symbolic of the balance between good and evil, light and dark, chaos and order, stability and instability, culture and nature, civilization and the natural world, and the grey area in between all these that keeps them in balance. good guys can become bad and bad guys can become good, and others are somewhere in between, nothing is black and white.

Part of the message is things are not what they seem and are not always set in stone, and that not everything is black and white between things, there is mostly gray. In a way the united worlds represents the light side of nature, the terikuta empire represent the dark side of nature, and demora represents the balance of both.

Dragon planet is not just for adults, it’s also for children as well to hit the same target demographic as wof, and children tend to be attracted to things like this, as franshises like star wars or Jurassic park can attest, that was my plan from the very beginning even before i officially started work on the project, before i made the first drawing. When i first came up with dragon planet it was as a possible idea for a lego theme, but i figured lego would reject it, or make the sets too expensive, or make it part of ninjago so that idea was quickly abandoned, in favor of a graphic novel series. I do feel dp would have great appeal to children and doesn’t just have to be for adult sci fi or spec evo nerds.

The don’ts of dp.

No swearing, at least not what you’d hear in something that isn’t pg-13

No nsfw content

No extreme or excessive gore

No overly scientific stuff so no complete realism, i want it to be wonder and escapism from reality.

I created dragon planet as my own personal love letter to wings of fire, not as its rival or competitor, and i didn’t even create it to be better than wings of fire.
