I'm going to stand apart from the crowd a bit. I like Dragons. A lot. I can cover 2 rooms with dragon art and have more art left over. I haven't bought all of the dragon models, but my computer files are bulging with the ones I do have. However, I like Griffins more! If it wasn't for Jellisa and Bloodsong, we wouldn't have any, and we have to assemble these in steps. There are NO Manticores. There are NO Basilisks. (Well, ok... maybe you wouldn't exactly want one staring you in the face!) Centaurs and Pegasi are patched together badly out of ill-scaled parts. (Guys, imagine how the bones/spinal column go together before you put the muscle and skin on top.) Anton has modeled a decent Hippocampus. Although it isn't the way I draw them, it is more than acceptable. Just as there are draft horses and riding horses, it would be wonderful to have a couple breeds of seahorses. We do NOT have a proper Nessie, although Chris's Sea Serpent is very nice indeed and fun to play with. The Sphinx I have is Catarina, elegant but unspeaking. More than Dragons move in the uncommon earth. I haven't even touched upon the Questing Beaste, the Jabberwocky, the Behemoth, the.... I just gave McKillip's "The Forgotten Beasts of Eld" to a special friend (those of you familiar with the work can guess how special he is). Let us not forget the rest of the fantastic animals while standing bedazzled in the Dragon's gaze. Carolly
