I Got Struck With An Idea For A Character And Ended Up Making A Magic Item To Go Along With 'em! I Figured

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!

Based on this song! I love my little guys. They're so silly, I also forgot how to shade midway through!

So, round 2 for Percy! I came up with some story for him this time. I was thinking that he could initially have a Swordstealer, and then switched to another dragon, so let's poll for that!

I was thinking the Swordstealer could be reminiscent of Orthax, looking at its design. I could go two ways with this. He gets rid of em for a dragon of the Briarwood's after it attacked him and the party (dragon hunting kinda thing? not sure yet). Or, he could just retrain it. I'm still working on the mechanics of all this, so feel free to pitch ideas!

We're back, baby! I plan to do a poll like this for each of the characters in Vox Machina, so stay tuned!

It's today that I realized the missed opportunity to give the twins one of the multi-headed dragons. I hate it. Anyways, time to find the Trinket of the party!

As I said in my Vax poll, I already had found a dragon that fit Vex to an extent - the Sandbuster, due to the fact they protect treasure so closely!

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."
