For the ones that wish to submit their own monsters, it is probable I will end up editing them in some way. Simple sketches are also accepted.
Make sure all the stuff you post is proper, also, try to think of a name for the monster.

Hmm. Monsters including breeds of dragons, I believe? Well, if so, I've got one for you. My handwriting is sloppy in some places, so I will write what it says (plus some things I had to leave out) below. i40.tinypic.com/14y5lxx.jpg%5CTHE MANED DRAGONHEAD- Two identical horns on either side of head. Horns may vary in shape, style, quantity, and size.
- Sharp spikes along the jaw bone, they may also vary, but only in size and amount.
NECK- About 1/2 to 3/4 length of the body*
- Well muscled and flexible
FORELEGS- Three front toes.
- One back toe, or "thumb" toe that helps the dragon grasp things.
- A single talon at the end of each toe, very sharp.
- Slightly thinner than hind legs.
HIND LEGS- Three thick toes.
- No back toe.
- One talon on the end of each toe.
- Slightly thicker than forelegs.
- Can be stood upon without use of forelegs.
WINGS- Three limbs.
- Single spike at the end of each limb.
- Thick, leather like webbing between each limb, connecting them to each other and to the body.
- When extended, they are about the length of the neck and body*
THE "MANE"The Maned dragon's "mane" is actually made up of sharp, fur-like quills that can be extremely dangerous, and make it hard to bite the dragon's neck. The mane starts on the upper forehead of the dragon and goes all the way down their back to the tip of their tail, where it flares out, resembling a lion's tail. SPIKESSpikes run along the Maned Dragon's jawbone, but can also be found in various places along the neck, back, and tail, but never run along the full length of the dragon. Normally, spikes will be found along the curve of the neck, along the lower back/rear, and end section of the tail. * The 'Body' does not include the tail. I hope you like this guy He doesn't have a whole lot of unique parts, but the amount of things like that will increase as I create some more dragon breed and monster ideas

Durn. You beat me. Though I love it. ^-^ You put a lot of thought into it which makes it all the more amazing.
I'm kinda thinking twice about coloring mine. D=

Interesting dragon Ayame, thanks for posting it. Though I think there will be just four kind of dragons (elements) because each dragon will have four versions (Newborn, Young, Adult, Old) that their physical aspect will be edited, maybe the characteristics of the Maned Dragon can be combined with the only dragon kind I have ready (Fire element).
Right now I really need more help with the monsters for the game, because I need a lot of them, and I don't have that great kind of imagination.

Thanks I wouldn't color it yet, as, like Sintact said, the design may be altered. It may be a good idea to wait until you know what exactly what the finished product is going to be so you don't spend to much time making it perfect, only to have it changed. If you want to color it though, you definitely should! EDIT: Okay, Sintact. Maybe it would fit better in the wind/air category though? I didn't think to include this, but a bigger characteristic of the Maned is that it is a very agile and swift dragon that specializes in flying and such.

The Dromeus will be definitely in, maybe I will use you for helping me out with the models; as for making them I need a front picture and side picture of the animal (I am not really good with perspective and side changes). I have the perfect animation for that monster.

I will work on that if needed. ^-^
I'm glad you like it. Sorry for any messiness in the text or sketch, I just wanted to get its general idea down before it floated away.

For a general idea, that's impressive, I would like to see other monsters of yours, and it would be excellent if you worked with perspectives with me; as you can help out with the dragons as well (that would be the most helpful thing [perspective], I need symmetric side and front view, which I am really not good at it)

Once I get myself drawing dragons a little more, I'll be sure to help you out with that. It's been quite a while so I'm trying to get the whole... "vibe" back. :]

That's okay, I also need to get a bit more into practice.

i43.tinypic.com/eqqn37.pngEh, just scribbles on a piece of virtual paper. One is a basic yearling design, this one has an extra set of limbs to defend itself a little bit more; can also be used for comical purposes. I also have a tiny hatchling for the Water element, very basic. Lots of fins. :P Last one is a bunch of eggs. I couldn't figure a design out for air, so I just left it be.

Cool ideas for a dragon, Sparky. I like the idea of having different eggs for each element!

I liked having different egg types, maybe an introducing video when starting the game could be added, and see how your dragon was born (then include the type of eggs), good job Spark

I Have a question, i've drawn the dragon 4 times (one for each element). Can I give them different looks (for example- the water dragon could have no feet but fins for swimmings and it could wriggle like a worm on land xD while a fire dragon could have feet and spikes instead of fins.?) BUT i will have some things (like the nose and horns) the same so you can tell it's the same species (ignore me if this confuses you, it already is confusing me xD) ?

Of course, and don't ask me those kind of questions haha, this is for suggestions and your own imagination; you can do whatever you want with the designs.

I finished it, its just pretty basic sketch I might later do individual drawings of each and changing a few things. fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/113/4/b/Longsnout_Dragon_by_Winterwolf2.jpgThe name of the breed is Longsnout (I'm not good at names xD) and here is some basic info~ Longsnout Dragon The longsnout dragon is a breed which appears in four different elements: water, earth, fire and air. For each element the dragon looks different. The only thing they all share in common is the long nose and horns which is how you tell if they are a longsnout dragon. They do not have pupils either. (they are best of the species not of all dragons lol ) Air Longsnout is best at hunting in the sky. Water longsnout is best at hunting in the water. Earth Longsnout is best at hunting on the ground. Fire Longsnout is an all round hunter ok at everything. I should put more info concerning the height, weight etc but i am not good at that stuff so it would end up seeming ridiclous. (like a 2ft tall dragon that is weight 4 tones xD)

i've made a monster you might want to use there isn't a picture though because i'm not very good at drawing
Name: jumbetus
Three years: adult, long and thick, many pairs of fins along body, small stumps of what used to be legs, very agile and fast in water, very strong, can’t go on land, hunts large animals by wrapping around them and biting them, they have venom but it just slows reaction time, lives in very deep water.
Two years: many pairs of fins along body, fins nearly fully formed, awkward stumpy legs, can go on land but rarely does, lives in middle depth to shallow water, eats large fish and medium other animals, hunts in same way as adult, venom in large doses can kill weakened or small prey, quite agile and fast, fairly strong.
One year: half formed fins and legs, spends about equal time on land and in water, lives in shallow water, eats all sizes of fish and medium to small other animals, hunts larger prey in same way as adult hunts smaller prey by chasing then biting and following until it dies, venom in large doses can kill medium prey in small doses can kill small prey, fairly agile and fast in water not very strong.
Half a year: little formed fins quite developed legs, can go in water but doesn’t often, eats same things as at a year, hunts by chasing prey then biting and waiting for it to die, venom in very small doses can kill small prey venom in quite small doses can kill medium prey venom in large doses can kill large prey, agile and fast on land quite weak slow in water.
New born: no fins at all fully developed legs, spends all of its time on land unless swept into sea, usually hunts quite small prey but may group together to hunt large prey, hunts in same way as at half a year, very agile and fast on land very weak, very potent venom in medium doses can kill large animals in very small doses can kill medium prey just a few drops can kill small prey.
Egg: sphere shaped covered in tiny hooks to attach it to seaweed
Predators: adult none, two years none, one year sometimes large predators will hunt them, half a year large predators will fairly often hunt them, new born many predators eat these and very often, egg these are very commonly eaten by many predators.

All these designs look great guys! This game is gonna be wicked! I will try and put a monster together when I get back home, cuz I'm at my friends at the mo EDIT: I am back home and have created a monster called Batarix ;D Here is da link - img441.imageshack.us/img441/9616/batarixdpl.jpgThe paragraph labeled 2 has been half cut off, sadly, so this is what it is supposed to say: The Batarix prey on small dragons, fish, birds, mammals and a wide variaty of eggs, including Dragon and Bird eggs. I am not that good at drawing, but I gave it a fair go
