My fairies look like giant termites. Sort of like the prawns from District 9. I haven't thought of what they call themselves (due to how their culture and species is, despite being spread over the world, they still maintain a high degree of connection in terms of language and what-not), but...
If I had finally finished my maniacal plan and were sure that there was no way it would go wrong, I would definitely jump on any opportunity to annoy the good guys.
With the caveat that I don't know what the behaviour and size of Gray Warrior's griffins actually are, I would agree. But, what're the likelihoods of there being an owner who would go above and beyond? In some situations where the griffins are seeing a lot of action already (fighting...
That's assuming they are meant to feel free (I doubt that's something non-human animals feel anyway, but I digress). The griffins are being let out anyways. What's the point of giving them a lot of space, when in all likelihood one would rest as soon as it's put in the aviary?
'Djinn' is the original pronunciation of the word (and still used by many people) with 'djinni' being an alternative. 'Genie' is a westernised version of that. In theology, djinn are like people, just made out of flames and with certain supernatural powers; this also means that there are good...
I wonder...if they are obviously burning a lot of energy carrying around their riders and presumably flying very fast or performing tight manoeuvers, they would have different requirements for how much and when they need to eat. Instead of needing a big pile of meat, say, every other day, they...
Traditionally, I just think of random syllables and mush them around until I get something I l like. More recently, I've given more thought to the culture of where those names are from (sometimes borrowing from real-world naming styles), and basing the names off of them, to make the world feel...
I'm similar to Siagonnus in that my dragons are also more feasible, although they do stretch the limits of what's realistic. They don't breathe fire, instead spraying a type of venom so hard, that the particles heat up and sizzle, creating a 'fire-like' effect. Some species don't spit anything...
