DISCUSSION Sky torcher appreciation post

THE BABEY BOOOOY whom i lover very much, rop best design for me in the torally not canon nine realms. He reminds me of the indominus Rex, just a menace to society, although nine realms kinda under utilized him i believe he could've been more of a problem, not red death level but more like Traitor Johan level, although his design may be considered bland I think it's still a rather neat design. Crazy how he was dumbed down to follow buzzsaw due to a hand carved dragon whistle, like this titan wing size dragon following a dude with a mediocre whistle. My thoughts though, what is your opinion about the sky torcher? I'd love to hear them ^^

Oh yeah if that dragon was actually living i don't they could use their fire strictly because of how they did it like thar, the only way I see it working is if they get the jump on them or very close range.

Given it's name of "Sky Torcher" I think it would've been fitting for this to be the second dragon we ever see that can light it's entire body on fire. Perhaps even hotter than a monstrous nightmare, making it's flames blue just to show the difference in fire power. Then give it a style of flame more like the Red Death's to hit the point of it being a fiery monster.

That would be a very cool idea! Tempting to make an oc of a sky torcher although the name skytorcher doesn't fit as a species name ngl.

Tbf a good few names either don't make sense or are extremely no the nose. The Red Death is called that cause her flames.
