Santa Claws

Hidden in the frozen, arctic wastes there are stories and legends being told. Natives tell of a monster that awakens to feast each Christmas night. When everyone sleeps, it comes into the village, stealing people and livestock away for its dinner. Then once it consumes its meal, it falls into a deep sleep, sealing its cave until the next Christmas. A deep need for a hero has arisen. The village needs mighty warriors to defeat this monster in its lair. It is time to face the monstrosity, the hungry Santa Claws. Strike hard, fast, and true before the next victim is you!


I won't submit you to an awful rendering of what I see in my head (Can't draw anything), but to me, Santa Claws would have this wasted ghoul design, sort of like your ghoul king Unit design. He would have a ragged red robe on and a dirty white, knotted beard with bones in it. He'd have skulls on his belt and a bag full of bones. His hands would be sharp claws that are ripping into his bag. His face would be in a silent scream face, with fangs as teeth and bloodless lips. Skin is sickly and spotted with wrinkles and scars. Eyes would be white, pure white. His back would be hunched with some jagged spikes punching through.

Celeste, Dragon of the Heavens


It is harvest time. People are busy bringing in their produce and preserving it for winter. But then, one night, a bright light falls to the sky. Rumors are being spread of a meteorite that fell into the barrens. Some brave souls went to explore the crash site, but they never returned. When a rescue expedition was mustered, all that could be found were their bones. Now, there is danger. Celeste, Dragon of the Heavens has emerged from the meteor. Her roar shakes the earth, and her eyes are like twin supernovas. She has the ability to bring the heavens down upon the defenseless world. Before her wrath rains stars upon the world, heroes need to be found. True champions are needed to slay the celestial dragon. Sharpen your blade and wits, and bring about Celeste's downfall. Be cautious, for dragons are the most cunning. Haste, before it is too late!


Again, can't draw whatsoever, so I will use my words to paint a picture. Celeste is a metallic silver dragon with bright blue eyes. Her wings are outstretched as stars, galaxies, and nebulas appear beneath her. Her tell hooks into a crescent moon shape. She's very sinuous, but has the strong hind legs, and clawed forelegs of standard dragon.
