glad to see people using drakes in their fantasy world i think they are really cool and underated because everybody has dragons but seeing drakes play a significant role in a fantasy world is pretty rare

Personally, I'm reluctant to use drakes because I'm not familiar with their origins. I haven't been able to find a mythological source for them. This gives me the impression that they are purely a fantasy creature. Now, there's really no reason why I can't still use them. Idk, I like using mythological creatures but avoid using creatures from fantasy media like DnD.

Feel like the lesser dragons such as Drakes, Amphipteres, Wyms, and Lindwyms are underutilized compared to the more common ones. So I'm happy to see a drake here.

Woah, I LOVE the Coastal Drake, looks so Powerful and Vicious! I can't wait to see what a Wyvern and a Full-On Dragon(My #1 favorite Mythical Creature obviously. XD) shall look like! The Mountain Troll looks Brutishly Stronk, I wonder what a swamp troll(maybe has some wolverine frog mixed into its design?) will be like! And the Royal Griffin looks so Epic and Majestic!

Love the coastal drake, one suggestion if I may be so bold is flatten its tail somewhat dramatically as most semi aquatic and marine reptiles have dramatically flattened tails and even primarily terrestrial species to include Komodo dragons have slightly flattened tails. Again though the artwork is amazing

I remember a while ago in a fantasy world of mine (That I have abandoned for a new and imo better world project) griffins were essentially different birds with different cats so while there were the traditional eagle and lion there were also griffins like crow and jaguar, owl and tiger, or hornbill and leopard

again love this, i have many species of griffin in my world as well, from ones as small as a Crow/house cat, to the traditional, to various jungle varieties, like a parrot/jaguar, my favorite and in my universe the most deadly owl/tiger, due to its near completely quiet flight.

It would be cool if for the different forms of griffins you did one that's an ambush predator. It could be a peregrine falcon mixed with a panther or a leopard. You could also do one that's a combination of a snow leopard mixed with a snow owl and make that one smaller than the rest.

Coastal drake: _Deserted Island battle theme intensifies_ Lovely gryphon, and I agree that unless you have a specific reason for your creature to appear chimeric, its overall design should DEFINITELY involve cohesive, consistent elements across and throughout the body. (Noting, of course, that "I just think it looks neat" _can_ be a specific enough reason in and of itself) In one of my settings, I have a gryphon-like species called the alce, a wingless quadroped with avian features. They sometimes call themselves "birds of the ground", but they do not envy the ability to smaller birds to fly. One of their signature design features is their forked, swallow-like tail (their actual tail being short and stubby, but decorated with a pair of feathered streamers). Males tend to be more "colorful" than females ... um, at least relative to them not having much color variation to begin with.

I am an enthusiast and student of biology and paleontology, fantastic creatures generally leave me very uncomfortable or discouraged, since many only combine absolutely incompatible anatomical traits or the combination of certain things would make it a being in constant pain without being able to move or breathe right (like dragons, wtf, how does that have 6 legs???) or griffins (a total chimera), I became a boring old man. but you do it in a way that even these absurd combinations seem plausible and harmonious in being, great job.

Awesome designs! On the idea of different type of griffin, there is a breed o hunting dogs called "Griffon", and About marina iguanas: since they ingest so much salt it filters through their blood and goes to glands in their nostrils, which will expel the salt like a sneeze.

I think you should follow Monster Hunter design Philosophy, considering that you wasn't new to Monster Hunter franchise. The design ethics is their ecology. Anjanath Sail was used for thermo-regulation and it's weird extensions of the nose was used to help the animal sense of smell, Anjanath also Sneeze which they used to mark their territory. They also overall anjanath is one of my favorite monster design, it's a literal living modern paleoart like seriously, modern paleoart is very speculative with art depicting dinosaurs doing goffy thing or having an very awkward soft tissue structure. Same with Anjanath he had an awkward soft tissue structure and also feathers! But if you just want cool fantasy, I don't mind it.
