Mythology Giveaway - Kurpany dingo dragons
Okay, I have a sketch but haven't had the time to finish and do any scanning. However, I *DO* have a good idea of what it's going to wind up being, so I'd like to put this thread in as prep and so that I don't just get lost.
The myth I am doing involves Australian aborigine culture, and a story about a rather vindictive group of people. Thankfully, I found *two versions* of the story that I was reading up on, and it's really clear that one came from one tribe's history, while the other clearly came from the second. Pretty cool, actually.
Forewarning, however:
The creature I'll be giving out is NOT nice. It might look smooth or whatever, but it's a spirit of anger, revenge and murder - it's a killing tool, a beast released by the slighted tribe in retrobution for the first not accepting their invitation to a religious ceremony (never mind that they'd already STARTED theirs...). Every man, woman and child of this group were killed, except two godling boys who escaped but also didn't really understand what was going on anyway.
So, if you choose to have a bond or sponsor for this beastie, make it one that requires such a dangerous creature to do dirty work, because it will be hard to control and extremely dangerous in social situations. Otherwise, if you choose to just 'collect' it, there's no need to worry about who is keeping track of it. Just more of a story device, really.
I haven't decided how many to make, but probably they will just be however many as requested.
They are horse-sized, much bigger than the dingoes that it's based on, and may have elemental powers (haven't yet decided).

Darnit, I was going to keep all my myth-critters with one sponsor, (who's not paged yet, anyway) but I don't know how that's going to fit in with her.
Hmm, oh well, if that doesn't work out, I can find someone else who could use a creature like now. For now, I'll just collect.

So, uh, would it be able to bond to, say, a familial blood line. I sort of have this awesome idea to have to be like a "kept beast" for the King (and subsequent Kings) of said country ... and I don't wanna write the story to find that it would only bond to a person not a blood line ... *is super curious*

Sponsor or Bond, or just Collecting: um.. I have somewhere for it, I'm just not sure where it'll fit in best yet. So.. sponsor for either Shizuka (she's a queen of the vampire council.. just not paged yet *sheepish*), Shieksahh, Seri, Ranna and Khy collectively, or, if he so desires in the end, Morchaint (my deity/demon of death, destruction and void. >.> Who feels slighted because I refused to give him an evil godling from the Twisted Fate's most recent clutch). Can I let you know where it's going when it arrives? ^.^;;;

A few colors: Dark red, black, gold. And Orange if you need another colour
Sponsor or Bond, or just Collecting: There will hopefully be some bonding but otherwise sponsor by the Aryns. (I'll post their website when I finish it )
edits: Look! A website! Arynne Beastie (there is some information up about the family but they're still in the planning process). I hope that it wasn't too soon for the writings ... but that is the legend, and the Arynnes wanna write the actual getting the beastie when beastie arrives ...

A few colors: I don't care? For some reason I /love/ the idea of an evil critter in pastels though...(the color of evil is pastel pink, right? XD )
Sponsor or Bond, or just Collecting: Just collecting for now. Once I get the creature I may decide to inflict them on Kilandaia by having Sahkaeyla sponsor him/her, but yeah, I'll have to wait and see...Kilandaia's already got it's hands full what with Sahkaeyla's Balespawn... XD[/url]

Durr, somehow I completely missed this question!maerwynn wrote:So, uh, would it be able to bond to, say, a familial blood line.

YES, it would be excellent for that, actually, since that is kind of how the myth worked.

Okay, here's some dingodragons...
Though they are all visibly male, there's no reason yours can't be made female or whatever you'd like it to be.
They can have one or more of these abilities:
** Stagnate Water - their presence can cause a body of water to turn bad.
** Purify Water - opposite of the above, they can cause stale water to freshen.
** Move Through Waters - they can slip into any moving body of water or large still pond (anything bigger than an above ground pool, for instance) and travel unseen, to whatever destination can be touched by the water (within reason).
** Ill Winds - any prey animals in the area will suddenly catch wind of 'predator' and scatter. This can be extremely frustrating to hunters.
** Calm Breeze - the opposite of the above, they can nullify scents on the wind and mask any predators to prey nearby.
** Wind Walking - they are able to dissolve and fly on the wind as a shadowy blot, with the sound of howling and angry growling following them.
** Be-Not-Believed - even if forewarned, a person or group will ignore the presence of the Kurpany until it's too late.
** Disrupt Concentration - the Kurpany can break through any intense ritual, concentration or attempt to dissuade it from its tasks.
** Dance of Destruction - the Kurpany executes any living thing around it over the course of an hour, a blender without a bottle, and will hunt down those that attempt escape.
All have the ability to fly, run at dangerously quick speeds, and communicate with other spirit-animals (particularly canines). They don't necessarily *like* any other spirit animals.
Here is a list of Aboriginal names,

Well, dingos aren't all that much bigger than a typical 'big' dog, I would say they'd top out at like 19hh? It's pretty big, but slender. If you need it bigger or smaller also, just ... dooo eeet.
