Honestly Im Like Suuuuper Tempted To Make My Own Lore For Dragons Who Eat Eggs. Your Egg Eaters Have

Honestly I’m like suuuuper tempted to make my own lore for dragons who eat eggs. Your egg eaters have been very inspiring because I really love their lore!! A lot of the time I end up thinking “oh god that’s so sick and horrible. I need more of it!” XD

"Oh god that's so sick and horrible. I need more of it!" Is exactly the kind of reaction I've been looking for, thank you.

With the personalized nature of the effects of Egg Eating, there are endless possibilities for character creation. It'd be a shame if some truly incredible ideas went totally unwritten. I say, go right ahead! Go nuts, and be as creative as possible!

So I'm not sure if this has been asked yet but I've been wondering. I noticed you don't seem to mind if other people make egg eater dragons but do you mind if people take your base lore idea (egg eating causing magic mutations in general) and make a different version of it? I've been thinking about writing something of my own about it but I worry it just comes across as copying.

Ah, yeah. I don't want my stuff outright stolen, but I also think people should partake in the fun(as long as it doesn't outright erase the artist, ya know?)

I've found that being transparent about your inspirations is the best way to go. If you worry about something being too close, you could always put an "inspired by" disclaimer. I've seen that done with AU's that are similar, and even businesses that are influenced by other mainstream ideas(think Pokemon vs Nexomon, or those sculptors that sell cool collectable creatures). That way you can be creative as you like and won't be accused of stealing, while my idea can still be seen by others. Pretty win-win!

I hope this was helpful! ^^

So Matthias is a pearlcatcher right? but you never draw him with his Pearl. Does he even have one? Where does he keep it if it’s not lost? I’m super curious OwO

He keeps his pearl safely tucked away with his personal supplies. Holding it for too long brings up unpleasant memories…

It’s hard to create a villainous found family when you’re distracted, so into a pearl box it goes!

Rannoch seemingly got stronger from egg consumption what would happen if they suddenly stopped eating eggs

Fasting might dull that fierce edge of Rannoch's, and her body's base 'age' would increase by a very small amount. Beyond that, the effects of her first egg are permanent. There's no reliance on egg eating for Rannoch.

She's instead bound by a vow of loyalty(only to Matthias, mind you!) made upon receiving her powers. That seemed like a fair trade she was all too eager to make, especially for a battle-ready, never-ageing body. Thankfully she takes 'keeping her word' very seriously, so she's not going to up and leave anytime soon.

Okay, I’m curious about your other dragons you have! Do they have any designs you have worked out personally for them? Or is it still something you would have to think about? :0

Ah, yes! I have several older designs for my dragons.

KoiKoi, a Talosian spice merchant and a koi fish breeder.

Then we have brothers Virtue and Vice.

Mismallo the Informant

The Prince of Hares

Phyyric, Bloodservant to Lord Talos

Then here's a sample of the Silhouette paintings

Looking back on these, I think they might be due for a repaint :D Also there are several designs on paper, but I think I'll redraw those as well.

So we’ve seen that eating eggs too much can lead to drawbacks, which made me wonder if a dragon who eats eggs of their own element most often (ie. arcane dragon who eats arcane eggs the most) will they get affected by the drawbacks less or more than if the dragon ate a variety of eggs?

Hmmm…I’ve been thinking on this and think I’ve discovered the answer.

If a dragon has already partaken in egg eating(and presumably has gained their own unique “special effect”) then eating eggs of the same element won’t change how their “special effect” manifests or how intensely. It simply doesn’t matter. Their magic has already been warped.

However, an eater’s first egg may resonate with the eater if their elements match, and could result in additional minor effects. This is a baby version of what happens when primal eyed dragons gain their unique abilities.
