I got struck with an idea for a character and ended up making a magic item to go along with 'em! I figured I should share incase anyone else wanted to use this in their game!

GET IT ON D&D BEYOND!

Oh my GOD this took so long - but it was really fun to do! I haven't done a full scene in literal YEARS, so this was a real breath of fresh air, and I got to try something new!

Soooo, I'm putting together a Vox Machina + How To Train Your Dragon AU and I'm having a hard time choosing dragons for each of the members because there's just... so many. So, I thought I'd put it to a vote!

Starting with:

Now for the extra fun other discussion. I decided to go with Sharp and Stoker class dragons to search mostly. I considered Strike, but, I decided to save those for Vax. (We're going to politely ignore the fact I put a Skrill in there.) I also had to hold back from giving him all of my favorite dragons as options because I am... biased.

I'm also aware that the Swordstealer and Armorwings are Mystery Class dragons, but! I thought it would be interesting seeing as they already hold that sort of 'forging' vibe to them that would help him plenty. Plus the fact they make armor out of it being overall defenseless dragons without it - who else to go to than the party inventor? He's bound to have scrap around.

This also made me think about adding the Razorwhip, but I decided against it. I was also extremely surprised while looking through the dragon to find out that the Silver Phantom was a Stoker Class dragon! I love the design of the Silver Phantom, but I don't think that it first Percy with how little information is given on it.

I was originally going to do Grog next, but... I love Scanlan too much and I've been thinking about his dragon for a long while, so, he's up next for the How To Train Your Dragon polls!

At first I immediatley ran to the Death Song, but after thinking about the lore - I decided that it was way too dangerous for him. But, the Mystery Class was still the best way to go! I remember when going through the dragons for Vax, I thought about the Dramilion for Scanlan, but I don't remember exactly what my reasoning was for it.

I considered the Changewing, but if I recall, they can't change their colors individually, they can only do it to blend in with their surroundings - and I doubt one would change it for any show type stuff. Then, it hit me. The Snaptrapper! I remember the old Book of Dragons short which said that they put out the smell of chocolate, and I thought that was hilarious and weirdly fitting for Scanlan. It also makes him a utility for if anyone else's dragons to awry (which could maybe lead to something).

But, after going through the entirety of the Mystery Class I only had two options, which wasn't sitting right with me. This was also when I realized that I missed out on giving Percy a Windwalker, Sea Shocker, or Shockjaw and then I proceeded to beat myself up over that for the next 13 minutes.

I ended up coming short on options for him, which was sad to me. In the end, I ended up adding the Death Song just to see what everyone else thought, and stumbled across the old concept of it - the Songwing.

I was just about to finish this post, when I remembered one of my ideas - the Hobblegrunt! I liked the idea of Scanlan hiding away his emotions but his dragon essentially being unable to, making them opposites in a way. Also the idea of him noticing it upset and then just approaching the room like "okay so who the fuck hurt them."
