There's so many things to name your guys after!!! Geological formations, weather patterns, animals from fish to birds to insects to mammals, ALL OF THEM, plants, precious gems and metals- there's so so so so much, there's a world of beauty out there, things you wouldn't have even thought about- name a skywing Yarrow after the plants that grow in the mountains, a sandwing Yardang after the sandstone formation, an icewing names Zastrugi, a seawing named Isthmus, there's so many things out in the world to draw inspiration from if you look hard enough :]

And scientific names and names they wouldn't know about are cool as hell too! Personally not my cup of tea (i.e. I'm not doing it with my own ocs) but oh my goodness everytime I see a name like that I CHEER ITS SO COOL RGAHRHEH

I think the WoF fandom takes the naming system for granted tbh

Like. I think they should use it more. But he creative with it

"oh there are only so many things that live in the rainforest so I'm going to name my rainwing Janet"

No no, WoF fan, understand. You CAN use the same names as canon. You CAN use a name multiple times. Get creative with it. Start using animals' scientific names. Name them after real life things that dragons probably logically wouldn't know about, but still fit into the naming system

This is how I have a sandwing named Sahara and a Allwing named Beelzebub. Get creative with the naming system. don't be discouraged.

Also have fun with hybrid names!! You can mix the naming systems then. It's fun! Don't be discouraged!!!

Sorry if this post makes no sense but I could rant about the WoF naming system for hours I really love it and I don't know why

I LOVE Dungeon Meshi's Realistic Fantasy Races

Ok, I had to stop for a moment to gush about the fantasy races of Dunmeshi, and all the consideration that's been put into them, because they actually follow a degree of natural/evolutionary logic not found in most fantasy stories!

Half-Foots (halflings/hobbits):

So we all know these fellows have excellent hearing and smell, but have you considered WHY? It's an adaptation to counteract their size. Humans (called tallmen in this setting) rely so much on eyesight because we're really tall compared to most animals, giving us a fantastic vantage of our environment. Half-Foots don't have this advantage, and therefore rely on their other senses. It's also much more important for them to be able to detect unseen threats and move quickly, because their size makes them ill-equipped for direct conflict.

Dwarves:

So Dwarves are depicted as MUCH stronger than tallmen despite their size, right? This is because strength is determined not by size, but by mass, and dwarven bodies are very dense! Yet this comes with the downside of their bodies burning more energy and overheating much faster, which is why dwarves are also shown to be heat-resistant, and why they tend to wear lighter clothing that exposes more skin! Their night-vision is also better than humans' due to their semi-underground lifestyle, while their hearing remains about the same since sound naturally carries in caves. Their hairiness is also likely a direct adaptation to counteract magic, as it's been shown to form a natural buffer when left unwashed.

Gnomes:

Gnomes are supposed to be evolutionary cousins to dwarves, and it shows! They share a similar height, but are less muscular and have peculiarly-shaped ears, almost mirroring the difference between human and elven ears. Their affinity with nature and spirits also makes sense, because physically they're in an awkward spot compared to the other short races, lacking both the hefty strength of dwarves and the light nimbleness of half-foots. Being less equipped both for fight and flight, it makes sense they'd instead adapt the instinctive ability to read their environments and mitigate its threats through cohabitation.

Elves:

Like gnomes, elves are in a physically awkward place, however it's even more extreme. Their relatively light and weak bodies make them ill-equipped for direct conflict, and while likely able to move faster than tallmen due to weight, they lack the half-foot's danger-detection senses. This makes them seemingly helpless, however interestingly it actually explains why they're so advanced compared to other races! They were basically forced to coordinate problem-solve, and control their environments out of necessity, which is reflected in their more controlling and direct relationship with magic and nature compared to gnomes.

This actually mirrors the real-world difference between humans and neanderthals. Anthropologists believe neanderthals weren't actually dumber than humans, but that their superior strength and durability meant they weren't forced to problem-solve or control their environments like humans, meaning they seemed less advanced.

My point on why bird centaurs are more anatomically viable than horse centaurs.

Did anyone ask for this? No. Was it necessary? No, but I wanted to explore something new.

Shout out to @theartingace for letting me use part of their work in this♥️

Each loop, your friends grow a little smaller- a little more distant. Each loop, you need to account for how slow they walk-how soft their voices are...

You wonder if there will ever be a point when their words won't reach you no matter how hard they call out

I will always draw starflight with alot of burn scars on his face and chest since I always found the volcano eruption being too bright thing the graphic novel did as fucking stupid and just another case of censoring scars in media just because it's "for kids"

#REAL REAL REAL REAL #Realistically there is no way he made it out with just his eyes being scarred #hell i dont even think he would have eyes at that point #but idk im not a doctor and i dont know about burn scars #wof
