Fish Dragon Adopt

CLOSED
Owner: DragonWorkshop 

About the character: Since it's a fish dragon, it can breathe underwater, but also has lungs and can breathe on land for limited periods of time. The dragon must stay moist, as any water-dwelling creature, or else it might dry up and die. On the side of it's head are gills that 'pop out'. Scientists are unsure if the gills serve to help the dragon breathe better, or if they are used in mating displays or have some other function. The chest cavity can be expanded to be quite large, as shown in the image, and it acts as a buoy to help the dragon stay higher in the water, or float. This air-filled chest 'pocket' beneath the ribcage can be collapsed when diving to deeper depths. The front toes are long and thin to allow maximum usage of the webbing in between them, and the fingers are flexible as to allow the hands to act as flippers in the water. When walking on land, the feet are flat, and look similar to a duck's. The back feet are turtle-like and have more power. Rather than using it's front feet to drag itself in the water, it uses it's back feet to push itself into the water quickly. This method is very effective to catch fast-moving fish by the water bank. Since the creature does not have a long snout, it requires other methods to catch it's prey. Can survive in fresh or salt water.
Real life inspirations: Tiger fish, Barracuda, Bass, Salmon (turtle and duck for feet)
