I wasn't super satisfied with my old Grimmsvant reference picture. I was also starting to get tired of using the same default reference pose for my dragons, I gotta change it up as an artist so I am thinking of drawing them in dynamic poses that say something about their characters.

Grimmsvant (Experiment Number: 001)

Gender: Male

Background: Grimmsvant was the very first surviving dragon experiment of the Alchemy Cult long before they decided it was easier to control and experiment primarily on children. (Grimmsvant is a short burly old dragon, and by dragon standards is kinda creepy to look at, like he's diseased or something).

Little is known about Grimmsvant before he became an experiment of the Legion but the younger test subjects had horror stories about him: Some claim that he was once an old gladiator who had slain thousands in the arena and then slayed the entire arena out of spite. Others say he was a death row criminal who betrayed and destroyed his kingdom.

Because he was so early in the testing phase their methods back then were very different and a lot less refined than their current experiments. Grimmsvant is a lot closer to the original Zelophbog, the actual artificial God of Destruction than any other experiment, Taken apart gruesomely put back together. The Doctor in charge of overseeing the Grimmsvant experiment at the time was Hydrargyros, but following his creation Doctor Bhaal was recruited by the Legion and took over the program declaring Grimmsvant a failed experiment and had him tightly locked up to be used as an example and reminder of why the Legion needed his specific expertise.
During the mass break out Grimmsvant got loose and escaped but went off in his own direction from the child experiments. He has a vendetta to settle.

Personality: Grimmsvant's wrath burns cold. He often has a bad attitude and a grim expression but he hardly ever needs to raise his voice or lash out in anger in order to be intimidating. His seriousness, level head, and rational thinking make him more effective and less predictable, and the control he has over his rage makes him more dangerous.

Strengths: Controlled Anger, Unique Power, Rational Thinking

Weaknesses: Lack of Mobility, Advanced Age, Lack of Charisma

Powers: Ice, Fire-(Endothermic Flames)
The Process of giving him a new element was not completed back when they first tested on Grimmsvant. Instead of him having 2 individual elements His Ice and Fire combined natures to create Endothermic Fire: It is Hotter than normal fire but it feels cold. Instead of radiating heat outwards it absorbs heat into itself sucking the thermal energy out of everything it comes in contact with and leaving everything it comes in contact with reducing them to cold blackened ash.

Stats
Elemental Energy: 10/10
The only limit to his power is his wrath. As long as he is angry he can keep going. Grimmsvant almost constantly has a bad attitude.

Elemental Control: 10/10
Grimmsvant has mastered control over his element. He is able to fire concentrated beams of Endothermic Energy.

Intelligence: 8/10
Grimmsvant is wise and very tactical given his old age and lack of mobility he's had to plan and be smarter than his enemies in order to catch them.

Combat Ability: 10/10
Grimmszant is like an unstoppable force of nature, he has mastery over his Elemental powers, he doesn't run out of energy, his only downside is that he's slow, but once you are his target he doesn't come charging at you, he'll simply march toward you at his own pace and there is nothing you can do to stop him from getting to you. All of his claws are coated in metal, he has two heavy shields permanently fixed to his wings which are equipped with a razor edge and a rough file-like surface, and when he flaps them they make the a horrifying screeching noise that can briefly shock and incapacitate dragons who were not expecting it.
