  • Thank you! It’s fun to draw all sorts of lines of action with tails. Mainly just the head, tail shape and streamline body are remnants of the aquatic ancestors. After I posted this, I came up with more detailed explanation of the evolutionary lineage https://pastebin.com/3v1RSEh2

    I just liked the idea of starting as a semi-aquatic to explain some of the reptilian features, and later found out it is speculated that semi-aquatic otter or shrew like creatures could have survived K-Pg extinction event (the big asteroid impact). That’s where I decided that this species would have branched off 100-70 million years ago.






  • Edit: I made the original art 2021: https://www.deviantart.com/caecuss/art/Tiena-Feral-876502282 I mostly wanted to share the species description that I just came up with. The art is visual aid but there will likely be some changes.

    Few people have asked what my sona Tiena species is. I’ve said it’s a furred dragon because he shares some similarities with them but I finally decided to make basically a wiki page of feral version of my sona. I came into conclusion that my sona doesn’t share any similarities with wingless dragons in mythology. Biggest inspirations have been Komodo dragons and Maned wolves, hence the name Maned Dragon even though it is a misnomer.

    I have absolutely no background in taxonomy, biology or scientific classification. I just spend several hours of googling animal facts and learned with the help of chat gpt, but all of the text above is hand written. But it may need an other rewrite to make it more readable. This species is open for anyone and you are free to make variants. But I will differentiate canon and non-canon features. There will be guide-lines about allotropes, e.g. coloration can be almost anything if the environment is exotic enough.




















  • -Potions because there’s so many of them. So I only have to obtain one of any lingering potion, and not each variant of them.

    -I didn’t obtain mob heads in early versions because it was so much harder without trident

    -Any items that can be obtained only with exploits are not mandatory like “uncraftable tipped arrow”.

    -Every enchanted book variation, I still got best in slot enchantments when enchanting cost 50 levels. Hours of afk at xp farm.

    There’s also few meta gaming exceptions, like locating ancient cities with chunk base because they are so rare and there’s no maps for them. I am doing this just for my own fun so I decided to skip these items.

    Here’s full list of items I have obtained, with exceptions and meta gaming exceptions: https://pastebin.com/UivnM8TR Later I switched to Prismlauncher when I noticed MultiMC was missing a lot of old versions with item additions.
