Name: Amayensis
Element: Earth
Type: Volcano Dragon
Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult
Height: 3m - 9’10” to withers
Length: 10m - 32’9” from snout to tail tip

Morphology: Amayensis is a red dragoness whose anatomy is similar to big cats. She’s quite bulky and strong for her size, with a short neck, sturdy limbs and powerful wings. Her most recognizable features are her short snout, the scales on her cheeks, her two horns covered with triangular scales, a row of darker scales running down her back; and the shape of her tail tip.

Personality: As an Earth dragon type, Amayensis is naturally calm and good-tempered. She will avoid conflict as much as she can, unless her well-being or the ones she cares for are threatened.
She’s usually a loner who enjoys freely wandering around the world, discovering new places, exploring nature and ruins; though she sometimes doesn’t mind socializing with strangers if they’re open to her.

Ability: Amayensis cannot breathe fire, but will sometimes spit lava at her foes. In the entrance of her thorax, she has an organ called ‘magma sac’ where she can store water and peridotite stones gathered from her environment. The magma sac is surrounded by muscular walls with embedded minerals. When the dragoness needs it, this organ can heat up and powerfully squeeze its content until it reaches the necessary pressure and temperature to melt the stones into magma. When this process starts, characteristic fiery lights become visible between the scales of her horns and her neck.

Her breathing intensifies during the preparation of this move; but thanks to a secondary network of bronchial tubes, all the gas she exhales isn’t released outside but directed into the magma sac instead, generating a growing bubble. The whole process is reversible until the gas bubble grows too big. When ready, the dragoness prompts the bubble to explode, releasing the magma out of her throat in a high-speed beam.

Though greatly effective against foes, this ability requires considerable amounts of energy, thus she considers it a last resort move. Not to mention that she cannot use it twice in a row, since she needs to restock on stones and water between each use.

Backstory: Amayensis doesn’t have any official backstory on purpose. She’s my mind-sona of some sort, and thus can be adapted in any kind of setting without being hindered by any ‘canon’ story!

Amayensis reference sheet, v.2.0! I finally made a complete new ref for this rather old OC of mine, who exists just for existing since she’s used to represent me as an artist around the internet (hence her lack of backstory).

If you’re curious, you can find her previous ref from 2015 on my old account here: www.deviantart.com/amayensis/a…
It also includes more detailed explanation on her power, dating back to the time when I studied geology at school.

Fun fact, I had started the full-body view on this ref a couple years ago, but never felt like picking it up again until now. So special thanks to E-Arkys for the (unintentional) motivation he gave me to finish this!

I love when other artists draw her, so I’m glad I finally have a clean (and accurate) reference sheet to show off for anyone who may draw her at some point!
