Title: An Oxymoronic Dragon...?
Description: ...and several other questions.

my apologies for the picture being fuzzy....

Okay, ignore Artha. (which is hard to do, i know....seeing as he is in the center of the pic...but this was the only opportunity to see the dragon.) Behind him is a bipedal dragon...and it's green.

How does that work?

If green dragons are supposed to be bull class dragon, why is this one bipedal? Bipedal dragons are for speed, and green dragons are for strength...

so would that dragon be fast, or strong?

...or both? :ph43r:

okay, pondering about that for a while lead me to more questions:
(these might have already been asked/answered...if so, gimme a link to the thread(s), thanks! :) )

How do you get a dragon in Dragon City? Do you have to be apart of a crew? How much do you think dragons sell for?
How do others tell what draconium influence you are if you aren't apart of a crew yet? Do you have to take some sort of a test before choosing your dragon?

uhh, your pic isnt in there...but i might think if you are refering to Swayy's dragon, it could be any dragon colour. also Sparkk's dragon (Pyrrah's little bro) is orange...and it isn't an orange dragon......

I think it's a cross-breed of sorts. The colour on the rim of it's head is a light blue color, and what dragon has a secondary color green? And it's a bi-pedal, sooooooo, it's probably a blue/red cross.

According to one of the guys that actually work on the show scales often reflect secondary colors and green is a secondary color for red dragons. It's the bone color that is referred to when saying a red dragon or a green dragon.

So that dragon has red bone color (because it has the bipedal build of one) but the scale color is green because that's the red boned dragons' secondary color?

...makes sense....

Of course there's also four-legged blue dragons like Shock-ra and two-legged blue dragons like the security force dragons. Both responded to the call of the Samurox so they were both blue dragons. Thus, while we know there are bull-class green dragons we don't know that all green dragons are bull class.

A green dragon is seen racing in Into the Fire, if I can remember correctly. This may or may not be the same.

It looks like a red dragon character model with a green color scheme.

Maybe it's a Clover-class dragon? It's green, after all...

I think the class of a dragon refers to what it looks like. There are many 'colors' of cars, and within each there are different types (eg Fiat, Excel, etc). This probably applies to dragons as well.

Jouroo - January 16, 2006 05:45 PM (GMT)
I agree that bone color refers to the type of dragon, whereas their scales convey their secondary colors. I think that crossbreed dragons are not common at all in the cannon universe, you just never see/hear about them. Going along with the secondary scale colors, red -bone- dragons have green, light blue, and turquiose, among other colors, as secondary bone colors, which makes this dragon perfectly plausible.

Another thing with the Samurox, it also attracted white dragons... I think this might just be a continuity error in the Rules of Power... I think that, while there may be some variation, the body types of the different bone colors are generally the same.

You know, this means that Beau's 'normal' form is a light blue dragon with secondary red and Dark blue influances. Or possibly a blue dragon with red as a recondary

Why do I say that?

Look at Beau's little nose horns, they are light blue. There are few other horned dragons, one is Brutarus, who has green horns. Light Green, but still green. So Dragon horns are draconium plus something else, resulting in a paler color

Maybe their made of bone like tusks? Or maybe their just there because the creators wanted Beau to look "cool."

One thing to note is that Beau's horns do change to gold when he becomes the dragon of legend, which sort of argues that the horns reflect the draconium bone color. Though when he's red and blue, his horns just look off-white to me:

The horns aren't as white as his teeth, but they're also not the same color as the light blue stripe on top of his head. The horns do seem to be the same color as his claws (for whatever that's worth :)).

Yeah, that's always been an open question here. Did Beau choose the red and blue colors for himself (because it blends nicely with Artha's outfit and he's fashion conscious and didn't want to clash with his rider :rolleyes:), or did he become red and blue because that's what he would have been had he not had the perfect balance that made him a gold dragon.

Nemi the Nen - January 30, 2006 10:24 PM (GMT)
If they wanted him to look cool they would have used the Furrox form.

But yes, horns, cool. But that doesn't change the fact that they are light blue on Beau, and green on Burtarus.

And Beau has a pale blue line deviding his red and blue sides, like he has a gold line dividing his black sides in his true form

Nemi the Nen - January 30, 2006 10:29 PM (GMT)
Odd, I didn't see Furrox's post until after I hit the reply button.

Now that you mention it now his horn is looking pale green to me.

Jouroo - January 31, 2006 03:08 AM (GMT)
Actually, I would argue that Beau's horns being different colors is kind of due to the quality of the screenshots... In the show, they appear to me to simply be off-white, a normal bone/horn color.

I've always thought of Beau's red/blue form to be imitating a white bone dragon. I know he doesn't look anything like the white bone from the Dragon Winds image, but he looks a lot like the white dragon in This image, which I've always assumed to be white boned. I'm one of the people that believes that skin color has very little to do with a dragons bone color, so this just makes sense to me. I doubt Beau would be light blue/blue because he has a stockier, stronger body with a broader head than any of the blue/light blues we've seen. I obviously don't think he's red because I believe all red bones to be bipedal.

I actually thought Brutaris' horns were off-white too...

Nemi the Nen - January 31, 2006 03:38 AM (GMT)
Nope, I checked the offcial site pictures of the dragons. Brutarus definetly has green horns (lighter green than his skin) So were those little things on his bottom jaw/lip. They were the same color

hyperpsychomaniac - January 31, 2006 11:00 AM (GMT)
Maybe Beau just changes the colour of his horns, so that he's not recognisable as the black and gold dragon, same as he changes his skin colour. (And, you know, his body shape in no way relates him to the dragon of legend. :P )

Nemi the Nen - January 31, 2006 07:40 PM (GMT)
...Hey! That could be it. Look by now Word and everyone who CARES knows the Dragon of Legend was bred at Penn stables. Most obviously the stable brat would have a dragon from his own stables. So they think HIS Beau is related to the dragon of legend.

Alright, I'm reaching to fill in plot holes. But those fins definetly disguise his profile a bit, don't you think? And looking at normal Beau, where are his fins? It's like the clark kent/Superman thing, but instead of just a change of cloathing Superman also has an extra set of arms.

Also, Jouroo. More intresting than the White Dragon in your picture, I find it even more intresting that there's another red and blue dragon besides Beau. gives his disguise a bit more crediance.

Me? I wish Arta's ID was found out by someone going "Hey! That stable brat is using level six thrusting gear!" "He's also using Ramming gear! Level six!" "What!?" "What?!" "WHAT! Look He just deployed areo gear! HOW IS HE DOING THIS!?"

And then finally, someone catching a clue and connecting it to gold dragons using all gear types. Or maybe, you know, noticing Beau's Mag bursts are gold no matter what form he's in?

Cepheus - January 31, 2006 08:43 PM (GMT)
There's a red and blue biped dragon that races a lot, too. It usually places somewhere behind Kitt in races.

Nemi the Nen - January 31, 2006 09:27 PM (GMT)
Maybe it's the same dragon. What Nerdcorps needs is a program with all the dragon parts put into it that will randomize combonations so they can go though them by hand and save alot of time. And maybe pattern generators and such. Because in the serries either the dragons all look alike, or they are one of a kind. (Army of the dragon Verus Beau)

Personally, I want to see more dragons with Beau's chin
