Description
We break into the Elementals now with Nile!I actually had to do SO much sketching to make his headcrests look credible. They just looked glued on no matter how I drew them, it seemed. Got there eventually though, they seem fine now.
Just so we know, they're leathery around the eye socket. It's not all solid crest
About Nile
Nile is one of four Lóng Dragons, an extremely endangered strain of the Drake genus. Each of the four on the island are supposedly aligned with an element, Nile being aligned with water.
Due to his reclusive nature, little is known about Nile. He resides in Lake Meer, the largest body of water on the island. It is thought to be the purest water available, due most likely to its elevated position on the island, but it is thought that Nile’s presence is an added factor.
Nile’s body is adapted especially for his environment. Although he has a conventional pair of lungs for when he ventures from the Lake, he sports several gills behind his jaw to allow virtually limitless time underwater. His paws all have webbed digits, as well as fins that he can move to cut through the water easily. The tail is his most prominent feature, sporting a huge fin that allows him to power through the water at immense speeds. The lures capping his whiskers are used to capture his primary food source – Fish. He has been observed ‘fishing’ from river sides on rare occasions using these lures.
Attempts to lure Nile from Lake Meer for study have always ended in failure. Faux’ strategies became more violent as their patience dwindled, resorting to the likes of submersive explosives and tainting the lake, before eventually just rigging surveillance around and in it. This is proving extremely unrewarding, reaping only hours of footage, close ups of fish and an occasional blue-white blur.
Outside of this very vague description, Nile's not used too much. I always see him as your stereotypical old japanese sensei style character his he had a human form, he's old and all.
(I'll probably end up rewriting this, didn't get in the same writing groove as I normally do >.<)
Nile is my creation, please don't steal him!
