Carcharinodon

Carcharinodon literally means 'shark tooth' (or at least I think it does!). The idea to create this monster came from Troy Megli's request for a cross between a dragon and a manta ray. I decided to use a stingray instead, with the head similar to that of a shark. I tried to minimize on the scales and spikes to make this a fast and active predator, not just some lumbering beast of the deep! (p/s do visit Troy's gallery: he's got some mighty interesting dragons!)

May 5 2003	Elfwood artist: Stanton F. Fink	So far, I like. At first, I was going to suggest that you shorten its neck, but, then, I saw how the fins function as wings. How big of a tank does he need? Comment From The Artist: A very BIG one, I assure you...
