Inspired from a dream - a nightmare, really, and several of them in a row, hence the ease of recall. Made sleep difficult for about a month and a half. I ran across a similar pic to what I envisioned here on FA and decided I would try to draw something what wasn't mesel.

In the story of Ceòlan, Arach-Carach is the dragon to whom he trades his silver spear and left forearm for a mortal body.

In the story of real life, it represents loss and fear of loss. So, really, the role in the Ceòlan story versus the story of me own psyche, it's not much in deviation.
