Fun Behaviors To Give Dragons That Aren't Feline/canine Based

fun behaviors to give dragons that aren't feline/canine based

cause as much as i love dragons purring and roaring i wish there was just more variety in how they would act

clacking their teeth together to show contentedness/happiness (budgies)

using tails as a defensive weapon in a whip like fashion (iguana)

twitching to express that they're not a threat to members of their species (hognose snake)

feeling calm when eyes are hooded/covered (birds of prey)

head bobbing as a threat display (anoles/bearded dragons)

flattening neck or sides to appear bigger (snakes/lizards)

mantling over food to protect it from hatchmates (birds of prey)

wiggling neck as a courting maneuver (budgies)

audibly grinding teeth as a warning (macaques)

maintained eye contact as a challenge (gorillas)

pounding wings against sides as a threat (gorillas)

slapping other dragons with their claws when their personal bubble is invaded (seals)

hoards used as a site to impress mates (birds of paradise)

snorting when undergoing heightened stress (horses)

making repeated loud noises with surroundings to establish territory (woodpeckers)

loud constant arguments with other dragons when roosting (bats)

building lairs that cause a domino effect of change in the land around them (beavers)

slapping their tails against the ground/water as a warning (beavers)

wiggling tail tip to attract prey (various animals)

wiggling tail tip as a warning (snakes)

plucking or scraping off scales as a sign of stress (parrots)

raising spines/frills as a response to danger and carrying on with their usual business as they believe they're protected (lionfish)

and im not saying canine and feline behaviors are wrong or bad to give a dragon (people wouldn't write dragons with those behaviors if they weren't fun in the first place!) but i feel for creatures that are mythological giant winged lizards that you can do more and get experimental with it. often the more unfamiliar behavior the more dragony the dragon feels

THEN we have the middle zone of "it could OR could not fit the character, and it could be canon OR could not be canon, really just depends on if you like the headcanon or not".

i call this the headcanon chart. see my vision

Tags

they're never IMPLIED to go along with this headcanon. but also they're never implied to NOT go along with this headcanon. the perfect middle zone. canonically ambiguous and fitting ambiguous. or something idk lmao. love these kinds of headcanons tho. very neat. :>

Was thinking about the FNaF DBD collab and ended up getting an idea for my FNaF AU.

Will probably put this idea in my UndecidedAU if I use the idea. I think this fits that AU the most (TOYSNHK being Williams kid and all in that AU).

WHAT DO YOU MEAN CHRIS AND TERRANCE CAME FROM A FAN SERIES THAT NAMED HENRY FRED??

I thought Gacha FNaF made that stuff up what. My childhood was a lie. (Half joke)

Was anyone going to tell me that the names Chris and Terrance for the crying child and Michael respectively came from a fan series that named Henry fucking Fred or was I supposed to find that out myself by watching a video essay that's painfully wrong about too much of established canon to tolerate

Women are too smart to work at freddys/j.

Seriously though we DO need more Female employees in the FNaF games, even if its just OCs.

why are there no female employees in the FNAF games apart from Vanessa. genuine question. There’s plenty of female protagonists in the books but 2 in the games and one doesn’t even work at Freddy’s 😭 this is why I praise anyone who makes female employee ocs

fnaf five nights at freddy's Brb gonna go make some FNaF employee OCs and make most of them women.

Made this on my YouTube, might as well put it here too.

This WILL alter her appearance btw.

(ex. she'll look like games Elizabeth if Elizabeth wins, she'll look like Eleanor/brown hair books Elizabeth if Eleanor wins, she'll look like movie Vanessa/blonde books Elizabeth if Vanessa wins, etc.)

fnaf five nights at freddy's elizabeth afton fnaf au fnaf elizabeth elizabeth fnaf fnaf rewrite Eleanor option is a reference to Eleanor from the books. Vanessa is a reference to Movie Vanessa specifically.
