Hello, I'm Wazp and I've been building a fantasy world and writing it's story for a little while now, and need some help. Namely, I've been creating a "Dragon" charcter, and I'm wondering how to make this charcter sound large, intimidating, and "Dragon-ish". Here's what I have now (keep in mind, "Shkal", the name of the dragon, was mentioned earlier; the readers already know it).
Shkal stood above the burnt forest, eyes engulfed in a firey red glow. He slid his wings along the destroyed treeline, pleased with the destruction he had wrought forth. It was only power and might that he felt, as he looked upon his endless carnage. In a blaze of anger he had burnt the entire anchient forest down to the ground.
After reading this, I don't feel like Shkal sounds all that scary. He seems like a normal, run-of-the-mill, Dragon. That's not what I want. I want him to sound big, mean, and mad. So, if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
