How to Train your Dragon inspiration

Unread post by 89er »

I just watched How to train your dragon and personally I find it to be a good movie. But what caught my attention was that the dragons were ORGANIC, not magical, therefore making them splicable. After further research, I've come up with several rough bio-enhancement ideas based from the dragons.

+Retractable teeth

+Bio energy/combustible element that explodes on impact, (Nightfury breathe weapon)
Perquisite: retractable teeth, so as to prevent the projectile getting caught on the teeth and exploding inside the mouth.

+Combat tail that is able to launch spikes that coat the tail, can be made to inject venom with upgrade.

+Fire Jacket: a sticky, gooey fire (like Greek fire or napalm) that is excreted through special pores, giving it a fiery coating without harming the Host Armor.
Perquisite: Resistance to heat.

+Launch piping hot small spikes from the mouth. They are launched when the projectile in the stomach get ejected from gases built up.

+ Spirals of Teeth in the throat, used for chewing the prey even after being swallowed.

+Two mouthed tentacles, one that breathes out a gas, the other lights it up with sparks, thus casting explosions upon the threat.

+Very sharp wings used to chop off heads, torsos, antennas, etch.

This also got me thinking of Splicers in volcanic areas (What I would give to see a Host armor that can project magma.)

Awesome Ideas 89er! I haven't seen the movie yet, but after reading your post you have raised my eyebrow and will likely go sneak a peak, gotta grab the nephew for cover though. :lol:

BTW, wait till you see what we did with the Skullcracker Warmount, you might get some of your wish list.

Damn, I though How to train your dragon was a kids movie so I never watched it (even though I'm a huge sucker for dragons).
Now, reading your post makes me want to check it out!

Great ideas BTW 8)

They're kids movies, but they're not bad for adults, either... there's some stuff that goes over kids' heads, that you'll catch.
You are a truly worthy foe! I shall howl a dirge in your honour and eat your heart with pride!
