Nexus FrankenMonster
So. I have recently learned of these things from dealing with the cuter, fluffier side of storybased adopting, and I figured, why not? Throw it here, see what happens. As I have a penchant for making one-of-a-kind anythings and using traditional media, this will be a monstrosity that is won by raffle. I won't ever blame you if you win and never page it. XD;;;;;
A Franken, for ones unfamiliar with the term, is a community-made creature of some form, wherein participants post traits, and they are all smashed together into either AWESOMENESS or WHATDIDYOUDOWHYYYYY!?!?!?NESS.
And since the Nexus is all about smashing one dragon with another unrelated dragon, why can't I just smash seventeen or so together to make one massive hybrid dragon of weirdness? At the end, anyone who volunteered a dragon for parts will be entered into a raffle as many times as they suggested parts. This will not be an identical clone of the offered species and likely unrelated to them at all, but its own entity of weirdness.
For each trait, post a link to a dragon -in your collection- that you wish to volunteer for science. Please, also post a verbal description. "(LINK) This dragon has a long body" instead of just "LINK", so none of us become confused.
Please provide pieces of this monster -in order-. First size, then gender. You may not jump to the end of the options and work backwards.
You may offer as many traits as you wish to offer, but someone MUST post in between your posts - OR there MUST be a 48-hour cool-down between your posts.
Thanks, friends! Have fun! Make crack! Remember that 'none' is -always- an option. 8D

Re: Nexus FrankenMonster
This sounds like a lot of fun! If anyone else is game I'm game!
Size: Re: the Universal Size Chart, Riisay would be considered medium-small. That means that she is eight feet tall at the shoulder, and her height to length ratio is about 1:2.5. Riisay stands on all fours and has an elegant bearing with her sinuous neck and lithely defined muscles.
(So someone else would suggest a gender, and so on and so on?)

Hmm, sure, why not.

Re: Nexus FrankenMonster
FORELEGS: Like Ciuselth, who appears to have two sets of arms (but whose secondary set is really wings that can be used also as forearms!)

Re: Nexus FrankenMonster
WINGS: Ah man, it's such a tossup! I have a few! Esyrn, however, has these wicked little curly-cues on her wing-tips! They rock! She's also got the beetlejuice stripes and the feathers/webbed wings combo going on, too.

Re: Nexus FrankenMonster
Primary Diet: (heh heh heh) Alcebi Chxalli, being a cosmic entity, can feed on any matter or energy that can be drawn into her black hole. She can (I assume) eat food as normal living beings do as well... but if light's all there is for dinner, it may as well be a buffet!

Re: Nexus FrankenMonster
EARS: Ears.. ears... EEEAAARRS. http://www.silveredmagic.com/candis/koshi/reiji.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Reiji will provide some gloriously long ears, even if he's technically evil. =P
Re: Nexus FrankenMonster
(A mere technicality, my dear!)
SOME OTHER SENSORY ARRAY: Ez'de Ri' is a wonderful creature and I can't wait to get a chance to use her for something... but in the meantime, her species has a number of fascinating sensory arrays! A line of hearing organs along her sides allows her to pick up minute sound and electrical currents from other biological systems. She also has a sophisticated system of pheromone and electrical communication, meaning that she can sense various amounts of chemicals and electrical signals and interpret them as anything from identifiers to commands to warnings and more. (The entire Apidae species is pretty cool, really!)

Re: Nexus FrankenMonster
TAIL: I like how Iriba Poradah has a lovely mix of pretty floof and a few pale-coloured gems, as well as a bit of scaled under-belly bits on her tail. It all just comes together quite nicely, maybe that will add some more floof and prettiness to whatever this behemoth becomes. X3

Re: Nexus FrankenMonster
MARKINGS: Spicy Rona'de has some lovely unusual markings: long belly stripe, some thick stripes over the legs, and a saddle-like marking that dips down over both shoulders and haunches. (I don't know if the feet are booted or if that's just skin, but perhaps those as well!)
