What does my dragon sound like? My dragon So to give a quick description, this is a 2 mile long, nuclear powered dragon of doom. I think I'll going with a fission/fusion hybrid creature for this beast. Another piece of relevant information is that all dragons in this universe utilize pretty much all metals as structural substrates... (more) |

Superheated wing blast! So, we know that big creatures will generate lots of heat if they're active. We also know that wings are very good at venting excess heat. Now for most animals, this heat isn't exactly spectacular, a few degrees here or there. Of course, if an animal generated more heat because it was really, really ... (more) |

Absorbing heat from unlikely places Living in polar climates can be quite difficult, and staying warm can often be such an issue. But not anymore with the heat sponge! This nifty little organ draws heat from even the coldest water to keep you warm. How does it work? I'm glad you asked! Frigid sea water is taken into the organ, which is... (more) |

The Electric Dragon The Volt Dragon is an incredibly dangerous beast that reeks havoc on any attempted air travel. This dragon generates many small but powerful magnetic fields whose strength can be varied voluntarily by the dragon, and its scales are reinforced with metallic compounds. As this dragon moves the magnetic... (more) |

Napalm-Breathing Dragon The Leopard dragon is one of the fastest and smartest dragons out there. With four eyes, external ears, four legs, two wings, a long tail, and sleek black scales, this dragon is quiet and nearly invisible at night. Its venom is painful but not terribly lethal, until the dragon decides to shoot it at ... (more) |

Hallucinogen Dragon Venom? The smallest type of dragon in my world is a bipedal dragon about the same size as a moderately sized bird, maybe about a falcon. In addition to its breath attack and high intelligence, this little dragon is armed with a powerful venom whose primary effect is powerful and persistent hallucinations. T... (more) |

Methane Dragons The Leech Dragon, so named for its round, leech-like mouth, is by far one of the creepiest and most vicious dragons. Part of the reason for its infamy is its ability to exhale toxic and very flammable clouds of methane gas. These relatively small dragons, (about 5-6 feet long and very thin), congrega... (more) |

Behavior of my patchwork planet? So I have a planet with tectonic plates that are separated by massive canyons that reach all the way down to the mantle. Obviously this means that the planet is very unstable and violent, experiencing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions regularly. Also, it rotates so fast that it has a ten (10) hour d... (more) |

Plausible energy shielding? You know what they say, the best offense is a good defense, and with the Energized Particle Shield 9000 (patent pending) you will have the ultimate defense possible! The EPS units can be scaled up or down to fit your needs. Personal protection? Try our handy belt or backpack mounted units, only 1-5 l... (more) |

What deficiency would make my raiders the most desperate? Out in the desert wastes of my planet, there are living multiple tribes of psychotic raiders who have acquired a number of harmful mutations due to naturally high radiation in the areas that they live. Years of exposure and inbreeding in each individual tribe have made these mutations much more sever... (more) |

Effects of severe radiation storms? I've got this planet that orbits it's star slightly closer than earth orbits the sun. For story reasons I need it to have small yet severe radiation storms and I was thinking that either a weak or fluctuating magnetic field could cause them. The more pressing question is how would they effect the atm... (more) |

What kind of planetary conditions would prevent or severely limit air travel? So I have a planet that is slightly larger than Earth, orbits an orange star slightly closer than earth orbits the sun, has extreme weather patterns and volatile tectonics. It has bad storms, temperature extremes, radiation storms, intense magnetic fields, high winds, you name it. Obviously the plane... (more) |

Could Cerberus be a pack animal? So I've created a Cerberus creature that is a group of three hyena-like dogs instead of one organism. The three individuals are linked together, much like an ant colony or bee hive. They would be linked together from birth, and would eat, sleep, and hunt together until death. A Cerberus pack would fu... (more) |

Electron Bullets I have a superhuman character with the ability to fire tightly packed "bullets" composed of electrons at very high velocity and over a distance, say a few meters at a minimum. I know that normally electrons would repel each other due to them having the same charge, but is there any way this could w... (more) |
