INTRODUCING: Tathos, the Clockwork Dragon! Entry Image: Link: http://imgur.com/vRLrZEd Extended Gallery: http://imgur.com/a/zRTQE#0 Details: Tathos took more than twenty hours of work to complete. I did him in segments: Starting with the legs one session, then the arms, then the torso and head, followed by the wings and tail. He stands 58 cm high, with a wingspan of 72 cm. Biography: When the Mask of Ultimate Power flew off Makuta’s face and landed elsewhere on the island of Okoto, it released bursts of energy throughout its flight. These bursts of concentrated elemental energy gave birth to six guardians: The Dragons of Elemental Affinity. Each of them represented one of the six core elements: Fire, water, earth, stone, air, and ice. All of those created by these bursts, however, were corrupted by the innate evil of the mask-and so, their directive was to destroy any who approached the mask or threatened to use it. These six were named Buerdegon, the Magmatic Dragon, Aqertezal, the Dragon of the Deep, Glacerot, the Frostbite Dragon, Galeratil, the Gale Dragon, Mackinaot, the Dragon of the Peak, and Tathos, the Clockwork Dragon. Tathos was the most reclusive of the six, his lair being in the underground caverns that he dug himself. He fought the ravenous Splinter Husks that infested the ground of Okoto, and, as his directive called, he seeks Onua, the Master of Earth, as do the other dragons seek the Toa of their respective elements. Tathos, in particular, was bulky and as resilient as a fortress wall. His hide was nigh on impenetrable, the only true weakness being his own elemental energy, or that of a being of water. He had the ability to see without fault in the dark and, contrary to other creatures with similar abilities, suffered no hindrances when outside in broad daylight. His grip was said to be so strong he could rip giant boulders from mountains, and he dwarfed even the mightiest Toa by almost twenty metres. As his elemental power was Earth, he could make use of abilities such as digging at rapid speeds, creating an immovable wall with his body, or causing earthquakes by destabilising the gravimetric forces of the planet. His wings were rarely used, hence why they tended to droop, but despite this he could still reach speeds of over two hundred miles per hour, and if his adrenaline kicked in his recorded speed could exceed even three hundred. Regarding his personality, he was antisocial, preferring quiet and the loneliness of an underground dweller. Despite his bestial appearance, he was completely sentient, and was capable of rudimentary speech (though he and his fellow Guardians preferred to communicate telepathically with each other). He got along most with Buerdegon, as when a magma flow threatened Tathos’ underground tunnels, the Magmatic Dragon ceased the flow and moved the molten rock back from where it came. I was really looking forward to entering this competition, as the last time Lego ran something like this (the prize being the Platinum Avohkii) I was far too young to enter. Happy I could enter this time round.
