I dunno if we've had a thread like this already but here's a thread for listing/discussing your favourite and/or least favourite breeds of dragon! Feel free to go into what your perfect dragon would be if you had the good luck to bond, or just the most awesome dragon you can think of xD Sekkain breeds:
My perfect dragon would likely be a female Lava, huuuuge and bulky like Maggers with broad, tattered wings that could barely get her in the air. She have approximately 5 million toes per foot and be very much like a living chunk of lava. Pitch black with armor like a rhino, taill crocodilian scales on her spine and magma visible between the creases. Her inner flesh would be the same colour, and she'd have such a mouthful of teeth to make an Abyssal jealous xD And yes I would totally call her Smote |: She would be greedy and gluttonous and hedonistic and demand to be fed grapes <3333333 |

Sekkain Breeds:
Tainted Breeds
As for the breeds that don't quite fit me, I'd have to admit it'd be the fire and earth dragons the most on the Sekkain side, maybe a little bit for gravity and lava too. And Karma, though that's more that I don't want a Super-rare given that I already have my Kazzie.<3 I have to say the main breed I don't care for as much on the tainted side would have to be the Mycotic, which would also probably go for my least favorite breed of all. They've never quite struck it off with me... Too much stuck to the earth dragon in my head, and a giant mushroom dragon kinda just leaves me a bit confused what to do with it. Not that any of the dragon's I don't care for as much are dragons I don't like, and I've seen plenty of designs for said breeds that are absolutely GORGEOUS, just more that I don't feel like I'd play their elements very well. And that would be a crime against the unique designs. DX As for my perfect dragon.... Kazuko. <3<3<3 I love her. |

Awesometastic idea Balubeans :3 So here goes... In no particular order. I tried but some of these are on the same level ^^ Sekkaian Breeds
Tainted Breeds
Least favorite breeds
In general, I like many breeds and ony dislike a very few. And with one exception, I only listed breeds where I do not own a character of because I love all of them independend of their breed and wouldn't want them to be any different. Also... ever since new Sekkai opened and all the Snowflakes begun to show up, I also learned that despite their breed, every dragon can be pretty damn awesome. And I like most if not all the wonderful creations that were made by both users and admins. Even if it's an Air ![]() Edit: So the perfect dragon... ...would probably Nimh/Nineeyes, a large, bulky Glass Lady who's concept I've written so long ago it's total crap... but she does live inside a mountain of glass, hidden away somewhere in the deepest desert of the south, creating a glass-miniature of every living thing she has seen in her long life. The concept includes her being transparent, colorless glass so the sun can touch the objects inside her mountain and create rainbows. I wish I had created her on old Sekkai while I still could but I was unable to make up my mind between her and a Lava-concept I also had written up v.v |

AH! A fresh list. Here are some of my favorites, though nothing has changed that drastically from my first posting. As an overall thought, however, I think each and every breed could be right for me in the right circumstance. Every single hatching, I have my first set of favorite breeds broken by new faces and devilish personalities that I couldn’t have imagined. The fun comes in the plot! Internet dragons forever. (In no particular order) Sekkain
Tainted
There are no breeds I actively dislike. All of them could become hilarious, dramatic, or just plain fun characters with the right inspiration. The only obstacles I seem to come across are those of size. I have a hard time trying to visualize interactions between small people and huge dragons and that can sometimes keep me from working through things as easily. That being said, however, (though I haven’t used them in an eon) I love my earth mycotic pair. There’s something wonderful about the idea that a man can still beat up his 149-ft kinda-partner after all this time. <3 Uhg, those two. Along those same likes, I tend not to like certain design influences instead of breeds. Like I’m not too fond of birds, I’m also not too keen on fish. Fish as a design base for dragons seems straightforward, but I’d rather have something that looks like a dinosaur or, at the least, a toothy and ancient fish. Far more, I’d rather see a dragon take inspiration from much different sources. That being said, all breeds are fair and wonderful! Especially wonderful, however, are masks and fluff! |

You people and your fancy bullets. pfft. TOX'S FAVORITE SEKKAIBEASTS. -Rosemary. I don't know, maybe its my love for fucked up medical personnel, maybe its my love for customization. But in essence the rosemary was one of the few breeds on old sekkai that I could warp and shape to my own liking, the others far to strict. Thus being said I love the rosies because I can make a drab little wtf-is-your-problem baby, and at the same time I can make one that looks like a battle between a rave and a rainbow produced a freakish neon baby that threw up a dragon shape and I'll call it a rosemary! -Waters. Again with the customization thing, but partially because I have a deep seeded love for all things water and ocean. I adore swimming and I can't really do it enough when I'm out and about, I love sea creatures beyond all reason, and I just love the long slinky nature of the waters compared to the others. -Earth. The species I've always loved but never had, I adore the earths because they are huge, powerful, and almost always gentle giants. Much like the waters and rosies I can picture the earths being one of the most easiest breeds to design and play with, and for that I love them a lot. Runners up on sekkaian are: Celestial (duh), glass, and sonics TOX'S FAVORITE TAINTBEESTS. -Bulkheads. Much like balu with the 'byssals, how can I not love my own creation? They're everything I love, sheer power, to many legs, to many eyes, they're walking tanks, and they vomit up their weapon and can do more with it than just bleeghpuke (hellmouth and his diamond mist for example). They're also the gods of volcanos and basically hellfire embodied. -Influenzas. Another personal creation of mine, I. WANT. AN. INFLU. I want one so bad its ridiculous. They're tiny, weedy, disgusting, the opposite of my favored healing rosies, and generally just these nasty little villainous creatures that don't give a fuck accept for themselves. I also made them at a point in my life where I was -incredibly- sick, immune deficiency issues and the like, so they have an outstanding personal outlook to me. Runners up on taints are: Razors, and Toxics I don't particularally have a breed I don't like. For, I feel, with enough imagination, any breed can make amazing characters <3 |

Sekkaian Breeds: Glass: I lovelovelove the concept for these guys. Always have, which is why it was my first dragon on old Sekkai (lols that it had the same name as Sekkaian Gloire |D) For the same reasons as Balu, the whole art/weapon thing in one was just really appealing. Functional art ftw. Ice: I might be strange since no one else seems to, but I love the cold. As a native Floridian having grown up in average 90 degree heat for 95% of the year with massive amounts of humidity to boot, I hate oppressive, suffocating heat. Having discernable seasons is nice too XD. But with an Ice you not only have an awesome portable air conditioner, but after moving up further north and seeing the sheer damage an ice storm can cause, how could I NOT like these babies? Metal: Because the description of their breath weapons is just hnngawesome. Turning your enemies into collectible metal statues is just an epic concept. Crystal: I always wanted one of these on old Sekkai for some reason. Something about the way they can actually change the hardness of their scales was awesome XD And turning rocks into crystals? Aligning things on a molecular level to make something else? Freaking badass. Lightning: Came back and added this cause...I forgot to add it in the first place. I LOVE storms. Particularly the noisy thunderstorms that bring with them lots and lots of what what I consider one of the most beautiful natural phenomenon. I also grew up in the lightning capitol of the US (and I think the world come to think of it) and it has always been something of an amazement to me. That+dragons=win. I don't dislike anything with an epic personality and winning design ![]() Tainted Breeds: Toxic: Honestly hadn't even thought about these babies until Augari, but she is so fuckawseome that I just can't even describe it x.x Black dragons with glowy, colored pustules? Ravedragons ftw. And the fact that she has a cobra hood…I think I probably melted with glee when I saw her for the first time. <3 cobras. Ruin: Holy crap I love the concept of these guys. I remember rejoining and reading through the descriptions and just…drooling over the depth in their descriptions. I like these for the same reason I love the crystals. The fact that their magic is so subtle yet destructive is just a really nice touch. Bone: Yeah they're all more or less the same in terms of their general abilities and stuff, but a non-undead dragon that looks like a skeleton? Epic. Sure they might not have any particularly good ranged attacks, but in melee combat they seem to be quite beastly with their natural armor. Plus I just think they are cool ._. Razor: Before the first Tainted hatching here, I remember drooling over Viscer's egg (since even at that point no one knew there was a Toxic egg) as well as Yuurei's. Razors I love because they are swift, needle-y, blade-y death. Also the fact that weapons can be made from their shed scales is pretty sweet. I can make anything work. Staffers have never gone the wrong way with the babies they've made me and I don't think anyone could throw one at me that I didn't like. When they fit my characters, I love them hook line and sinker. Obviously I have my favorites though

Sekkai Dragons-- Ice~ Comparable to a polar bear I burrow right into any snow heaps and make myself at home x3 I love the cold so much it's no wonder to me that I find Ice dragons so attractive. They could summon up a nice blizzard, cool down a hot summer day, scale mountian Everst with their pick-axe claws, all sorts of jolly fun stuffs! I could see the Penguin dragon I drew fitting right in as an big o' kinda-cuddly Ice x3 Earth~ Next slot I am seriously making one. Seriously. He will be a living Gargoyle, with snarly-anger face and land-slide paws, and saber-teef, and spires and arches errewhere, oh my.. I could go on for a while. But! I really love Earths, big hulking titans that would smish whole towns flat like a casual jaunt about that park. Gravity~ Space? On a dragon? YES. The color possiblities and complexities are endless. Cute lil' whiskahs and sharp cat eyes, with slinkyslink grace, as have to appreciate them becuase they remind me of my cats xD I imagine a hulking meatslab of a Gravity that uses raw power along to throw himself about like an asteroid and orbits his rider while he sleeps. However I find that the loose intpretations of the species information generates stunning dragons no matter the elements/rarity. Every character is so unique amoung their breed <3 I've always been a bit hesitant about bending the structures of my dragums, but I've started expanding their structures and individualizing them each in turn. I will settle on their final forms.. someday xD Taints-- Bones~ Regardless of breed, strength, wit, any dragon can be turned into a Bone, so you get such a wide diversity of characters from all different backgrounds. S'awesome! Losing their old elemental control must be sorrowful, but when they gain the power to just use their own bodies as weapons, that must be amazing xD I also tend to like seeing the natural Sekkian dragons breeds turn Tainted, becuase of the deviations you get from the breed standards with the mutations, poisions and whatnot. Verreh interestinks >3 |

Sekkain Tainted I'm really more of the mindset that a personality makes the dragon, and even if I'm not overly fond of the breed I'd be happy to play a good character. Nim made me love Waters with Fuath and I'm so happy with him. ;o; I'm also happy to play more than one dragon of the same breed. *u* I do not caaaaare as long as they've got pretty different personalities. |

HNNNNG I LOVE STUFF LIKE THIS 8D SEKKAIANS
There aren't any breeds I don't like. But as a general rule, I tend to lean towards the less conventional, which generally means rarer breeds. Especially true for old Sekkai, I always thought that there wasn't a lot of freedom or originality in the more common breeds. But now that dragons are getting to be so much more creative with all the epic minds on this Sekkai, I'm beginning to appreciate a lot of the breeds I took for granted. A good example is Airs - I'd always thought them to be very simple, and I don't tend to like light, solid-colored dragons much. But now that we have HAWT creatures designed so beautifully, I'm warming up to them. And I miss Lucht. Cuz he was weird <3 Fires also never really tickled my fancy until Proxy blew my mind, and I always relatively ignored Forests until Adi. And I will always have a special place in my heart for Earths, because of my lovely first-ever Sekkaian dragon Gley <3 TAINTS Ruin - Kess is a genius. As someone who's just completed AP Chemistry and finally knows the EPIC SCIENCE behind these, I feel like I can appreciate their deadly beauty fully. Masks rule, as do freaking gas trails! And Yuurei is a friggin badass, and I'm honestly really proud to help develop the breed further with Yuuman. Toxic - Again with the glowy things. I think enough is said. Bulkhead - I like things that stray from the norm. So when you tack on extra legs, eyes everywhere, and weird mouths, I am in ALL THE WAYYY. You can probably see my preferences way back when I spawned the Shifters for the Taint Breed Contest, as they had most of these attributes in a less in your face package. :3 But I'd seriously kill for a Bulkhead. I'd kill for ANY of these breeds. Abyssal - THE WEIRDER THE BETTER, YEAH. I am in love with all those weird things from the darkest depths of the ocean, so Abyssals with their wicked teef and mouths and eyes and ... they're beautiful to me because they're so perfectly at home with the other monstrosities of the deep. The gender thing is an interesting touch too. DON'T FORGET EARTH MYCOTICS <3 Corrioth is probably one of my most dear RP characters in the history of my loooooooooong RP career, and I mean that. Thank you admins so much for him, even though it was a long time ago. If I get to make Lucretia in time for the next Taintly hatching, I'll be super excited :3 If not, I still can't wait to see the monstrosities of this time! |

Well I don't actually have a dragon yet but I can still do this right? /D Sekkian rosemary they are so leetle and cute~ Once again the idea of feathered dragons pops up and I embrace it whole-heartedly. But not only that they are modeled after flowers which leaves room for tons of interpretations and designs. and I must agree with Tox on this, you can make them look like thrown up rainbows mashed with a rave and it's a-ok chaosssss bkjgb,jlsnihilrz I don't even know what to say, I LOVE them. From the fact they can't produce their own breed to their spirally horns. I would probably die if a candie ever received one /D Tainted disruption I really first got into liking them after reading that not only do they not have eyes, they get frustrated and angry when things 'don't go as they should'. Even though they're a Tainted breed I can't help but think they the most adorable thing I've ever seen XD Ruin when I heard they slowly turn to vapor I could help but be like 'Lololol fog dragon'. Aside from that I think they are amazing and can totally imagine them once they've reached that stage. I like them all ._.; but those are my favorites. Aaaand perfect dragon? Hmmm Maybe a female disruption (though male would be cool too) hued with deep orange/red with a blue/silver for her flecking with twisted but sharp horns around her face and has some teeth that protrude from beneath her lips. Her tail would have the three trident like prongs but they curl down like fingers (easier for digging it into the ground) Bad description but I'm having a hard time describing what I see in my mind XD |

Sekkai Breeds (Updated 1/10/14) Lightning- THE SOUND AND THE FURY. Okay no, not really. But oh my god storm dragons. Yeah...I'm...kinda of developing a love for these guys. Or maybe it's just an undisclosed desire to own 'all the breeds'. I'm not really sure. But yes. Lightning. Yes. I am very much a fan of whip-chord stormchasing lightning bolt throwing zeuslings. Air- I love Airs. I think I love them even more now that the site has sort of changed from them being more greys, whites, purples, and faint blues to having them based off of actual birds. Even if that wasn't originally the basic idea in the first place. The original colors make sense, but actual bird bases make it even more. I think the thing that makes an Air dragon for me, is just the over all feathered appearance and sleek design. They're kind of like the sports cars of the dragon world and though they're small, they're fast and can maneuver quite well with their double pairs of wings. I think the other thing that makes it for me is that I own one, but more than that, the personality of said Air. Valigar in accompaniment to dragons like Zeal or Narcissa just display yet again, a cliche sort of idea of how Airs are. They seem very much like the vain strutting peacocks that some of them kind of present image-wise. Plus with their egos, they very much like to butt heads, and arguments are fun to type o3o; Metal- Metals are like three breeds rolled into one. The problem with this note that I love Metals, is that I'd then have to choose a sub-breed. Which is really hard. I suppose if I had to put them in an order, I'd put it something like...Uhmm.... Steel, Iron, Copper. From most liked to least liked. The dragons themselves are all different sizes and different shapes and I find it really cool that the creators of the breed decided to incorporate that each affiliation with each breed would have a different look about them not just in color but in bone structure too. The giant tail blade on them was also a really cool touch. The fact that they can breathe their own metal affiliate too in liquid form is pretty awesome, and I'm still not quite sure how they can do that without it being molten hot, though I suppose that's just magic for you. They're just some really cool dudes, and I want to see more around the site <3 Forest- In accompaniment to the Rosemary breed, they're one of the smallest dragons on Sekkai, but they still maintain the ability of hauling their rider around. I suppose it's the mixture of the toxicity and acid element that is incorporated into them in two different ways that helps me find them quite intriguing. Not all of them (like Hadassah I believe) have the Toxic barbs, but they can all still spit acid at you like an angry cobra. They're the most common, yet lately I've been seeing so many different forms and varieties and adaptations of their forms that you can't help but wonder just HOW creative you can be with a forest. Compare Psamanthe to Hadassah, or Vaezin to Hemlock for example. They're common, but they're all over the place apperance-wise! Tainted Breeds (Updated 1/10/14) Ruin- I ammmmmm retardedly biased. I love Iktomi. Love him to freaking death. Him and Lapin both. The masks are a fascination and I often wish that I had gone through and made Iktomi's mask a little more creative. But I was trying to associate with his name and the Spider god thing and...well...anyway. They're difficult breeds in the sense that their basic weapon is rusting gases and their own claws (and sometimes masks), but they're cool in the fact that that means you have to get CREATIVE! There's more to them than just rust, as Kess can tell you, but it's a breed that takes more personality and appearance to make it work than JUST their abilities. But they're like Glass' just a bit. A lot of free range on their masks to make them your own! Bulkhead- The problems with Bulkheads are also their powers. It's that they're so easily overpowered and can easily troll someone into a god-modded situation where it makes it hard to do anything that's not going to screw with someone wholly. I suppose what I find intriguing about them is the balance that a writer would have to maintain, and the restrictions and conscious thought you'd have to put into it in order to make sure you aren't screwing the other person over. So it's more of a writer fascination than it is the actual breed itself. So you've got a volcanic titan, now what are you going to do to make it interesting? Bone- Super common, and yet...They're really kind of cool. They can look like almost any breed due to the fact that all breeds can mutate into them. Plus there's the fact that they might just end up looking like no breed at all! They're chalky, white, and pale, so there's really no appeal color-wise to them at all. But the real appeal lies in the appearance still. As bones are capable of looking like anything and growing their armor into any shape imaginable, they're similar to the Ruin in the fact that with their mutations comes some artistic and creative freedoms (but more within reason here). They're a little more restricted on the breath weapon thing, like a Gravity might be, but they can do things like fire bone needles and still be pretty dangerous if they're played correctly. Razor I love metals, therefore I love Razors. These little shits are just a pile of pincushiony, needle-filled fun. I suppose I also like the matter of when faced with a rider there's always the predicament of 'how do I even sit on you'. I blame Viscer. Yeah...that's a good way of doing it. This is Viscer's fault. HEAR THAT SEMPER? YOUR FAULT. Dragons I feaaaaar (Updated 1/10/14) Mycotic- Don't get me wrong, I like some of the designs we've had for the Mycotic breed, and I like them overall, it's just...I guess I don't really get the powers? So they don't really appeal to me :< Abyssal- Okay this isn't so much a fear as it is a brief disdain. I don't hate dragons, but there are a few that I will look at and go '...' and the Abyssals happen to be one of these breeds. I guess I was never much of a fan of maggoty type things, and I know they don't all look like that. Mostly I guess I don't like them for aesthetic reason, but they can be whallops of personality, such as Heulikreuc or Ceratias due to how their users perceive them and have them interact with the world around them. So this is feared for purely selfish appearance based reasons. I am a bad person. |

Favorites Sekkain Water - Because I love love love water in it's many forms and such, despite my typical interweb moniker of Ember (which is actually an OC of mine but that's beside the point). And water dragons have always been a favorite of mine, giant watery beasts that are just beautious in their slimyness. Air - Because I adore slinky things. xD And perhaps like Val, I may have a preference for the larger breeds. Plus, I just want to pet this breed's feathers. xD Sonic - I love music, so of course I must be juuust a little biased towards these wondrous beasts that make sounds as they fly. Celestial - They're so loooong. Amg. ; ; I bet they're so pretty too. o.o Chaos - The entire random aspect of this makes me love it. Tainted Abyssal - They make me think of Anglerfeesh, and Anglerfeesh are creepy cool. o.o Bulkhead - Extra limbs for the win. o.o Plus, they're big and bulky. xDD Razor - It's a porcupine draggum! Lawl. I adore spiky spiky dragons, and if it's a mutated one then it's long too. :3 Yeah, short reasons I know. >>; Least Favorites Noot very many. I love most of the breeds, the above are just my favorites. And... I can potentially love any of the breeds. xD Sekkain Earth - I just... don't like them very much. D: Tainted Disruption - The no eyes, it be freaky. The ability is awesome, but the no eyes kind of makes me shudder (strange though, I kinda like rping blind characters). Really though, all it would take is an interesting design to make me like these. And the wings. o.o I like the wings. >> Mycotic - Same deal as Earth dragons. >> I just don't like them much. D: As for the perfect dragon for me? ... Is probably impossible. D: I have this mental image of a Razor with longer horns like a Disruption's among all those quills. >>; Well, at least from breeds that are here. I have another idea that's not from any dragons here. >> |

I want to see more Ruins around just so I can drool at their individual masks. And they have manes too. I like diversity - Ruins were a great addition to the site and I love them for that!
