The "New Guinean Giant Wyvern" is a fantastic and beautiful critter. I really liked the design for this Wyvern, and it has the same Reddish Orange, Yellow, Black Body, and Blue Crest color pattern of the Great Leonopteryx from James Cameron Avatar.
I wonder if VikasRao watched the 2009 film "Avatar" and look at the concept design and color shades of the Great Leonopteryx created by artists Wayne Barlow, then he created his Wyvern with ideas from the Great Leonopteryx.
He did a GREAT ONE ON VAMPIRE'S. Holy cow, I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy it because I don't follow stuff like when I was younger but the version he did was Utterly amazing and facinating.
Guess that community vote *was* indeed for what to make the next video be about! And with werewolves coming second, could you tackle those in a way similar to vampires in the foreseeable future?
This is awesome! Makes me actually think that these mythological creatures actually exist in a parallel world similar to ours & their evolution line predating to prehistoric times was fascinating.
I sorta wish more dragons, gryphons and unicorns would have gotten more explained for the Gryphon you would have talked about the "Lemurian Giant Axex" and the "Southern Axex".
I just have to say: I'm not even an avid person who follows vampire stuff BUT That Piece you did on Vampire's was SO GOOD 👍🏻 So utterly facinating. Just had to share that.
I love how this channel takes traditional fantasy concepts and adds a layer of plausibility to them. I'd love to see a speculative evolution video on semi-plausible humanoids like Orcs, Trolls, Giants and Ogres. Imagined as primates that went on a different evolutionary path to humans.
Fascinating world building!! Really detailed speculative and evolutionary composition in every detail! Intriguing influence based on this alternate geographic reality! Thank you for reviewing this sensational dragonology!! Waiting for part 3!! Yay!
Love the vid as always!! My only issue with this is more with Vilkas, but unicorns in our history are thought to have been originated from rhinoceros-like creatures, however the chance from them to brontotheres isn’t much of a change I guess.
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo the uktena as well similar species of wyrms is one of my favorite favorite species of dragons next to the wyverns , sea serpents , griffins and the Eurasian mountain dragon .

Very happy to see you continuing to cover this series :) That said, was this image at 17:28 supposed be there or something else? Just pointing it out if it was an overlooked editing mistake.
I'm surprised that the author didn't put a small, North American wyvern into his mythology, which he could have used to explain the Jersey Devil legend: a resemblance betwen the two creatures has been directly noted before.
This channel is fun. Anyone who comes here and says "you don't believe in science", needs to take a seat because they don't get it. This isn't about science, it's about imagination.
So keep in mind I am one of the people who believe that breathing fire is probably one of the most iconic traits of a dragon and on top of that if I had to choose between breath weapons for a dragon fire is automatically one of the first few choices but it makes me wonder what other breath weapons could dragons evolve to have Like could there be a dragon that evolves to launch rocks out of their mouths by using highly pressurized pouches of air Could we have a venomous dragon that has the ability to spit its venom stinging and potentially even burning like acid whenever it hits its opponent Or could we get a dragon with electric capabilities that would spit out a web like substance between its mouth and its opponent with a bioluminescent bacteria in its web so that it can taser its opponent from a distance that sort of a mix between venom spitting web spinning and an electric eels capabilities to make electric voltage and conduction I can be used to hurt an opponent I would love to see another world building idea that includes more than just fire breathing even though fire breathing is arguably one of the most important types of breath weapons to have on dragons at the same time I would love to see a breath weapon variety in the creativity that has to be used to make it work in real life even if it doesn't function exactly as it does in the miths All in all I just want to see more variety to see what we can get from dragons
Very interesting explanation of the more feral dragons. So what about the depictions of the more benevolent highly intelligent dragon tales? Did they come from a different world than your feral dragons? How did they become so knowledgeable and able to speak multiple languages and create things?
Will be interesting a alternative Earth who's vertebrates evolved not from tetrapod fishs and amphiveans, and evolved by 2 diferent fishs, 1 with only 2 fins and other with 6, evolvinh bipedal and hexapodal vertebrates..
Kinda weird how they are parareptillans even though most of them have features of eureptilian(archosauria specifically) I feel like there is no need for them to all be related as well
I have to ask; were you inspired by Avatar's great leonopteryx/toruk for the coloration on the New Guinean giant wyvern? The resemblance, down to the blue crest, is striking.
Have you considered doing a supernatural biology bit on Fae folk? (fairies, elves, etc) I envisioned them as similar to primates. But how would you envision them?
Recently found your channel, keep up the great work. Did you used to produce the Dungeon Guide channel? Because the production sounds almost identical.
My only problem with this video is Atlantis lol. Pomponius Mela, the guy considered to be Rome’s first cartographer, located Atlantis on the map on the same place as the Eye of the Sahara. Plato’s distant related uncle Solon had gone to Egypt and had heard of Atlantis through the stories of a massive water related calamity to the West, where the Eye is. According to stories, heading downstream after passing the Gates of Gibraltr, you would be able to head directly into the regions Atlantis had control over, which also happens to be the west coast of the Eye. Theres also geographic evidence of a ridiculous amount of water erosion throughout that area above the desert and a scan of the nearby ocean floor reveals massive fluvial fans that indicate a megatsunami 100s of km across. I know Atlantis is still a myth, but so was Troy until it was rediscovered.
In European mythology, a cockatrice hatches from an egg laid by a cockerel rather than a hen. Of course, we now know that cockerels can't lay eggs ( even when the bird is one of those strange half male half female creatures, as they are mostly infertile). However, it's not uncommon for a young hen at the start of egg production to lay eggs that lack yolks: our ancestors confounded by this occasional occurrence, declared the egg to have come from a cockerel instead.
What about the Philippine flying lizard or usually called the Philippine Draco? I caught one of these little flying or rather gliders on Mindanao Island and still have photos of me holding it 🏝️👌
hey your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I use to play a tabletop RPGs vampire the masquerade and in it there are different species of vampires could you do a episode on the differed biology love to hear the difference in biology between the species of vampire like the nosferatu or my favorite the Malkavian the characters i played like why are the Malkavian cursed with schizophrenia and psychotic outbursts or why are the nosferatu physical features so grotesque or some would say deformed why do some vampires walk in sun light with ease but other forced to only hunt at night of in the case of nosferatu confined to the to the tunnels and suiers and seldom hunt in the city's
Vampire the requiem Vampire the requiem has vampire evolution and development, masquerade doesn’t It also has the Ordo Dracul faction who would actually be interested in this
I love draconology but i really feel like they couldve made griffins and the kirin specifically more accurate to the depictions, possibly the wings on these griffins are not wings at all but are 2 protrusions on the back of them that are feathered in a way to give the illusion of wings or it could even be a distant ancestor that had 6 limbs and in the modern day the limbs were feathered and used as intimidation instead of flight, kirins couldve been more related to anything with 4 legs probably a highly unique species of drake since kirins are supposed to be horse like, it couldve even been a species of unicorn. Speaking of unicorn the jackalope i dont see the reason why it was made to have one horn instead of the 2 its supposed to have. I just feel like these changes couldve been made to make these more unique instead of literally just being feathered and beaked versions of the true dragons

Not the content creators fault but I hate the attempt to codify Dragons vs Wyverns based on the number of limbs, its a very modern view when Dragons haven't even been reptilian historically or had anything like a set number of limbs.
These are wyverns I will never except 2 limbed wyverns as dragons . Dragons have 3 limbs and what this creature is a wyvern... Dragons are often mutations either by magic or by radiation or their aliens hence their 3 limbs . This is a wyvern
@@GuardianShad most modern designs of dragons get 2 limbs because of things like this , we have applied modern science to a classic fantasy creature. 3 limbed dragons are true dragons. 2 limbed fire breathing beast, are wyverns and modern interpretations ignore the fact dragons in classic fantasy were often otherworldly beings, hence 3 limbs. The two limbs were a modern ascetic because a bunch of scientist were like "dragons couldn't fly on our planet" and now all modern wyverns (according to classic fantasy) are being labeled as dragons when they are according to classic fantasy beasteries (DnD for example) 3 limbs are true dragons if they have 2 limbs and are more bird like, they are wyverns, among the same family but not the same species. Hell their are even limbless 'dragons' but they would be referred by the term wyrm. Modern interpretations of dragons are not true dragons, as true dragons have 3 limbs . These 'wyverns' are just a separate family that modern movies and youtubers are calling dragons cause it sells better.. but they are wyverns
@@mythenma470 I have no idea what you're talking about. "true dragons" absolutely do not have three limbs. In fact, there isn't a single creature in the world which has three limbs, unless it's disabled
I’m gonna have to give this video a dislike because of atheist mythology that nothing to do with the real dragons like Morocco (fiery dragon) Chatham island New Zealand (wyvern) and leviathan the dragon king (fire drake).

Absolutely fantasticing and fun video! Cool ideas to think more realistic on mythical creature!! I wonder if one day they'll get to the Gorgon.
So keep in mind I am one of the people who believe that breathing fire is probably one of the most iconic traits of a dragon and on top of that if I had to choose between breath weapons for a dragon fire is automatically one of the first few choices but it makes me wonder what other breath weapons could dragons evolve to have
Like could there be a dragon that evolves to launch rocks out of their mouths by using highly pressurized pouches of air
Could we have a venomous dragon that has the ability to spit its venom stinging and potentially even burning like acid whenever it hits its opponent
Or could we get a dragon with electric capabilities that would spit out a web like substance between its mouth and its opponent with a bioluminescent bacteria in its web so that it can taser its opponent from a distance that sort of a mix between venom spitting web spinning and an electric eels capabilities to make electric voltage and conduction I can be used to hurt an opponent
I would love to see another world building idea that includes more than just fire breathing even though fire breathing is arguably one of the most important types of breath weapons to have on dragons at the same time I would love to see a breath weapon variety in the creativity that has to be used to make it work in real life even if it doesn't function exactly as it does in the miths
All in all I just want to see more variety to see what we can get from dragons
It seems that nature's ability to innovate and create interesting organisms knows no limits. Speculative biology also seems to know no limits.
So glad this came in my feed

this is kinda old and it's more of a spirit than an actual dragon, but i think the taniwha would've been cool to see.
