    I like how the role of the Hullbreaker as a Keystone Species is given a lot more emphasis as some people don't often view large predators as a keystone species even if their presence in an ecosystem means that the environment is healthy.
    Also, it'd be nice to hear more of the Hintermen's "Wyrm Songs" whenever a Hullbreaker attacks a settlement.

    One small thing (amongst many) that I do really love in this project is the varying flight ability amongst dragon species. With many other settings with dragons (namely how to train your dragon, which i also love), the philosophy tends to be that any dragon, so long as it has wings, can in effect fly as fast and far as any other, regardless of wing size and shape, so it is really cool to see flightless winged dragons and dragons that are not as effective at flight than other species here.

      ​@@sawyerleeart Awesome. I'd love for the domestic animals (Muttonbucks, Gritmares, the Houndkeepers' dogs, etc.) to get a full entry.

    How long does writing a script for a video about your dragons take? I imagine most of the time goes into creating and finishing your illustrations instead-but you talk about each dragon so well. Amazing work! Loving this series.

      Thanks! It takes usually able afternoon to write and another to revise, but longer if I’m building new lore rather than adapting previous ones

    I'm confused about one thing. For being such a brute, breaking icebergs, punching through the rubble sealing its lair etc. hullbreakers surely cause plenty of unpleasant, loud noises. Wouldn't their sensitive hearing cause them to avoid such activities? What is it about the noise of the Hintermen Wyrmsongs that makes it such an effective weapon against the dragon?

      probably frequencies, think of how there is dog whistles which only dogs can hear, or how certain animals can hear things we can't hear this may be the case for hullbreakers

      I think it's like the previous reply said, and it's probably more along the line of curtain frequencies than general loud noises

      ​@@ImperialCoffee769it makes sense, since assuming these guys have been audibly adapted to loud noises means that their sense of "fear" when it comes to loud sounds have been dampened, possibly even gone in its entirety.
      So creepy sounds, more akin to a wind whistle, or a blizzard cycle, or a weather warning would cause them to panic since, realistically, that is what could kill them.
      We get scared by loud sounds because roars came from predators, so an apex like this one would probably just be scared of weather shifts rather than other roars.
      Actually, it would probably get attracted by roars lol.

      @CryptidZealot my guess is that either it's the hullbreakers getting tricked into thinking that the source of the sound is something not worth further hunting/fighting (in the sense that its not worth the energy spent acquiring the food or injures that it may get) or it sounding like something that could be dangerous to the dragon like other large species (such as kinsbanes) and curtain weather conditions

    I wonder how much taller and stronger hintermen are from “normal” humans in this setting. Keep up the great work!

    Hi umm just wanted to ask here given the video is fresh and was just curious.
    Is there any "tiny" dragons in the setting?
    All ecosystems seem to be fairly speculatively cenozoic like [with a heavily swapped and creative cast of dominant mammals and or birds], with a single or a few medium to large dragons at the top. By what I've seen. Is there any smaller dragons within the setting filling more common small animal roles? Bird, reptile, or mammalian like per say? Or did there used to be? Honestly still incredible setting either way [as this is fair from a complaint or criticism] just wanted to enquire if that is cool.
    Keep up the AWESOME work.

      There are! I’ll get to them soonish and plan to dedicate a sequel book to small dragons
