RE: Remorhaz WIP

Dunno, looks like a Remorhaz to me.

 

 

 

If you're that convinced its not a Remorhaz, feel free to use it as a Behir - its no chitin-plate off my back. I chose the dragon texture because it was the closest I could come to what I was seeing in illustrations - large flat plate on top, large flat plate on bottom. I'm sorry if the top part of the model has tiny scales when you zoom in - just imagine its blemishes on the chitin. Really, it's not like we're making a genuine animal here. It's a monster, which over the years has been open to a VAST number of interpretations. I just started with someone else's model, redid the head (or at least Rolo did), and added some details.

Fun mysterious CCP development fact!

 

The model? Remake of ATOM's Behir model

 

(Still reckon centipede-like feet rather than the reptilian ones would make it clearer)

Well that explains why it looks like a behir to me! xD

Atom's Purple Worms also looked like might have some reskin potential for desert/ice/sea serpents, etc...

Ok, now you've done it!

Instant response to that screenie? "I have *got* to skin that baby..."

*scooches over a few things and makes room*

 

Edit: After looking at the model... Uh, no.

Sorry, but just no.

 

*shakes head and buries the remains*

 

I'll rebuild it from scratch... =)

And a bit of linguistic trivia to go along with the CCP trivia.


The old english word "wyrm" (or  it's old high german spelling, wurm) is the name for dragons in older germanic mythologies (as opposed to the modern word "dragon" which is derived from the latin word "draco").  Wyrm meant both dragons, and snakelike.  The modern word worm has it's regular zoological definition, but could also be a loose reference to anything with a long, slender body with no limbs, or short/stunted limbs...

So yeah, great wyrms are really just oversized mutant worms with a bad case of acid indigestion '>  Um, don't say that to their faces though unless you got plenty of elemental protection and some dragon slaying gear handy.

The English word "dragon" further derives from Greek Î´ÏÎ¬ÎºÏ‰Î½(drákōn), "dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake"

 

 

Early European Dragons also typicly were chimeric affiars mixing aninmal parts onto one monstrosity...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Etymology Extras:

From Old French dragon, from Latin dracō, from Ancient Greek Î´ÏÎ¬ÎºÏ‰Î½ (drakōn, â€œa serpent of huge size, a python, a dragon”), probably from Î´ÏÎ±ÎºÎµá¿–ν (drakein), aorist active infinitive of Î´Î­ÏÎºÎ¿Î¼Î±Î¹ (derkomai, â€œI see clearly”).

The guy in the third picture looks entirely too relaxed for someone being gobbled up by a dragon. In fact, it kinda looks like he overdid it on the halfling pipeweed and is kinda entertained by his own imminent digestion....

He's obviously a cloistered monk who is no doubt relieved he will no longer have to illuminate medieval manuscripts.  '>
