Category:Body Shapes

Dragons in the game have different body shapes, which are divided into classifications. These classifications determine a Dragon's overall appearance and movement. Body shapes have no bearing on any other aspect of a Dragon beyond aesthetics.

All Body Shapes
Example Images	Distinguishing Features	Number of Dragons
	These Dragons have a goose or chicken-like body that is low to the ground, often having wings that emerge from the front limbs rather than the sides or back of the body, though they can also be wingless. They are quadrupeds with long necks, a front shoulder area typically lower than the rear, long tails, and typically an s-shaped transition from the head and neck to the body. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is Chicken.	86
Anserine
	These Dragons have a thick, brawny neck, upper chest, and front legs, where the hind legs are typically thinner and shorter. These Dragons are similar to their Leonine counterparts, except less balanced in size and broadness from front-to-back. They may or may not have wings. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is gorilla/simian.	11
Brawny
	These Dragons have a short, barrel-shaped (longer than usual) body, that is stocky, and has short legs. They may have 4 or more legs (always in pairs) and may or may not have wings. Some may have small upper "arms" and some may not. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is caterpillar/trampler.	23
Cobby
	These Dragons have an elongated body that tapers to the tail. They have fins rather than arms and legs, and can usually travel on land as well as in the water. The top half of the body is vertical and the bottom half is parallel to the ground. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is seal.	127
Finned
	These Dragons are lion-like, quadrupedal predators that have a broad thorax with a smaller hip section, allowing them to crouch and pounce quickly. They may also have a long or short neck. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is lion.	184
Leonine
	These Dragons have elongated bodies that run parallel to the ground. The body tapers gradually to the tail, they have fins, and unlike Finned-Style Dragons, their whole body is generally parallel to the ground (except the head and neck). The internal game descriptor for this body shape is fish.	36
Reptilian
	These quadrupedal Dragons typically have a shorter body and thicker, tube-like legs. They also walk on four legs like a dog and tend to be very playful. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is doggy or toy.	107
Saurian
	These Dragons have a delicate, seahorse-like body that curves but doesn't coil. They often have wings, and a tail that curls forward. Some of these dragons have feet, and those who do have short, vertical legs that are parallel to each other. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is seahorse/faerie.	10
Seahorse
	These Dragons are snake-like with a thin, elongated body that coils up from the midsection to the tap of the tail, tapering towards the tail. Few have feet but those that do have very small feet. Some also have arms that often start from below the neck. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is snake.	69
Serpentine
	These Dragons have plump or semi-round, and bulky body. They are quadrupeds that have short limbs and are generally slow-moving creatures. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is turtle.	138
Stout
	These Dragons walk upright on two legs like humans, with their bodies vertical from the ground, while the tail typically remains parallel to it. They have short, narrow front feet positioned like arms, and small shoulders. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is biped.	132
Upright
	These Dragons walk upright on two legs but are more broad (like a bear) than Upright-Style Dragons. They have thicker arms and shoulders, a short, stubby tail, bat-like wings (if they have them), and often thick horns or spikes. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is bear.	84
Ursine
	These Dragons have a long body that tapers down to the tip of the tail, and are always capable of flight. Their legs and feet typically hang, and their tails often curve upward somewhat. They always have back feet, but don't always have front feet. Their front legs resemble arms and are generally a bit shorter than the back legs. The internal game descriptor for this body shape is flyer or pixel.	116
Winged
Clan Dragons
	These Dragons are always quadrupedal, always have two heads, and are typically only Clan Dragons.	9
