Description

Beeku came up with the idea to Dragonize her Digimon, and several others followed suit, so I knew I had to do it with my Emily and Crocutamon too! It was quite a blast to do. I had fun trying to emulate the How to Train Your Dragon style…especially translating it from 3D.

Yes, Crocutamon makes a Very Big Dragon. I figured since most of his evolutions are extremely huge his dragon form would be, too

Dragon Type: Cackling Crushjaw
Dragon Class: Stoker
View its hatchling stage!

Although the Cackling Crushjaw shares several aesthetic traits with the Night Fury, the Crushjaw is actually categorized in the Stoker class. While it cannot (like many Stoker class dragons) set itself on fire, it makes up for this with a higher shot limit than average, and produces concentrated fire bullets so intensely hot they sometimes appear in unusual colors. Additionally, the Crushjaw has one of the highest bite forces of any dragon, with enough jaw strength to crack metal, thus its name.

Due to its enormous size (larger than a Monstrous Nightmare, smaller than a Typhoomerang), the Crushjaw is not particularly fast or agile. It is also extremely awkward when walking on land, as its front legs are significantly longer than its back ones, meaning it walks with an odd lurching motion. It moves much more fluidly in the air but is, again, not particularly quick. This dragon is exceptionally strong, however, able to lift enormous weights and even other dragons with little trouble. It is also extremely enduring and has a lot of stamina, allowing it to fly, glide, fight, take hits, or work for hours without needing to rest. This endurance also extends to its stomach—the Crushjaw can eat almost anything and digest it with ease, and (alongside the Typhoomerang) it is one of the few dragons capable of consuming eels with no repercussions. Its favorite meal is bone and bone marrow—Crushjaws have been seen stealing from graves to obtain their favorite treat and burying bones for later, and even have a rivalry with the Boneknapper, as both dragons will steal each others' bone hoards.

The Crushjaw has a number of very unique and unusual traits. The most notorious is its 'laugh,' one of the many vocalizations these dragons make. Vikings will often refer to it as a 'Giggle Dragon' due to the noise, although it is important to note that just because it 'laughs' does not mean it is in good humor, and still should be approached cautiously. Their 'mane' is actually hundreds of sharp quills, which will puff up if the dragon feels threatened. Finally, unlike many dragons that have no preference, the Crushjaw typically prefers female trainers, due to the matriarchal pack hierarchy they follow in the wild—they may disobey or test male riders.

Rider: Emily
Emily originally trained as a healer's apprentice in the use of herbs and remedies to treat the villagers of Berk. Her training didn't change much after the dragons joined, until, while gathering more materials for her work, she inadvertently came across a young adult Crushjaw that started following her around. Although initially terrified of him (he was quite big and clearly unfamiliar with humans), he drove off a pack of wild boars to protect her, and she realized that she'd somehow gotten herself a dragon. After consulting with the Dragon Academy for tips on how to train her new friend, she fully embraced her place as a rider, and began learning more about dragon anatomy in order to be able to treat them too.

Emily is not a combatant and has very little fighting training. She makes up for this by acting as the Academy's on-call medic and rescue personnel; she keeps the packs on her dragon Kaftar's harness well stocked with medications in case villagers or dragons are hurt, and the Crushjaw is large enough to carry away most dragons on the island if they are too injured to fly. If they do get into a scuffle, Kaftar is extremely protective of Emily and will fight viciously to keep her safe. When not on call, Emily often studies dragons at the academy or delves further into her healer studies, and hunts for more ingredients (Kaftar has gotten particularly good at sniffing out the wild herbs she needs).

Okay and now I must bed. Aaaah so tired I worked all day on this
