Last but not least is another weird hybrid of sorts, the Draquid. This sea predator is roughly the size of three side by side greyhound buses. They usually eat smaller fish (smaller than them I mean; which could mean a medium sized shark), but when they have the oppurtunity will seek out the Gore Tortoise or Reefback, which is a giant turtle that is so slow moving most of the time that coral reefs will grow on it's back. A Reefback will usually grow to twice the size of a brontosaurus or such if it lives long enough (500 years or so to full maturity) and are very very quick to anger and hostility. Draquids disguise themselves as squids by curling their tails below themselves and swimming backwards by flapping their wings-turned-tentacles. They do this to attract the attention of the gore tortoise, then launch an attack when it is lulled into a false sense of security. Why do I say so much on the reefback here? I refuse to draw something THAT complicated right now, that's why >:/
