The other wyverns in the game are dragons as well, conjured by Allant to evoke the (presumably) extinct enemies that gave rise to Boletaria. So I agree with the other comments that say the dragon god was probably exactly the same as the demon version.

Honestly, examining the models like this puts many of the dragons in a much more sympathetic light. Like you can see just how much suffering has been endured by Ekzykes, open sores everywhere and fungal growth slowly infesting every inch of his body, or Fortissax, so thoroughly seeded with the deathroot that it's sprouting out of his right eye in what must be an extremely painful condition. These beasts have both witnessed and committed untold atrocities and endured unimaginable suffering, over the course of millenia. The pain of such existence is beyond our comprehension. They have long since earned their eternal rest. Also, I need those hearts for my dragon knight build.

The Everlasting Dragons of Dark Souls 1 also have both an exterior and interior toothy mouth. This is best observed when an Everlasting Dragon roars in the opening cinematic, and it can also be witnessed with Seath, though Seath seems to have a flawed inner jaw, perhaps because the gums grew over the teeth or because the teeth never properly grew out of the gums. The derivative, descendant dragons start to lose this trait, among other traits. In Dark Souls 2, the real ancient dragon, found dead in Freja's arena, has the double jaw, whereas the fake dragon at the Dragon Shrine only has one jaw. For a while, I thought Sinh had this double jaw as well, but after this video and checking fight videos again to see if it was a low-res thing, Sinh may actually just have one jaw -- his gums simply look a bit ridged and I mistook those for teeth. However, Midir in Dark Souls 3 does feature the distinct double jaw. Elden Ring might be adding a twist to this detail, with only the Magma Wyrms having the trait, perhaps because it's left over from their original jaw, and they grew a second jaw as they mutated into draconic beings.

For a big dragon he’s quite spry, and there’s a lack of sluggishness compared to the rest of the dragons in the series as well. There’s also the angle of a dragon that’s been infected with the dark soul because he’s been eating the darkness too much I play monster hunter too, and yet I find midir to be better than most, if not all dragon encounters in those games.

You know something I liked about DS2? Dragon Aerie and the sanctum (the areas before Sinh and the Squalid Queen) were, in my opinion, the most awesome places to visit on the game. They were just so atmospheric, like you were going around a sacred shrine, or an ancient tomb. DS3's dragon shrine was honestly pretty cool, especially once you got to the end, it felt like a pilgrimage. The dragon areas are always, for some reason, the most fascinating.

Thanks for a fabulous look at Fortissax's one remaining eye! Man, the poor guy seems to have lost his pupil entirely, and maybe even his iris, unless it's that slighly brighter, somewhat v-shaped golden section in the center of the eye. If that is indeed his iris, then Fortissax is so injured that, unlike the other ancient dragons, he can't even move his eye properly to look right in front of him. As for Placidusax, it's intriguing that he might have subtle round pupils. The "modern" dragons all have round pupils, as best observed with Greyoll, so I wonder why the dragonlord's pupils might resemble the supposedly inferior modern dragons, along with traits like the nose horn. Perhaps the ancient dragons aren't quite natural after all? I'm also grateful for this nuanced look at all the dragons from Demon's Souls onward! In particular, I've always felt that the red and blue dragons of the Boletarian Palace have surprisingly beautiful scales, and their overall designs are great too. I'm not sure why you showed a low-res version of the Stone Dragon of Ash Lake though. I appreciate the close look at Sinh waking up, as I'm not sure if I ever noticed that he starts off surrounded by rocks and breaks them when awakening. He always looked oddly obscured before the fight fully began, and those rocks explain why.

Holy shet almost 20 mins worth of dragons!!!???

Seems like most of them either fall under Wyverns or "True dragons". For the record a "true dragon" is simply classified as a dragon with at least 6 limbs, 4 legs and 2 separated wings or 2 legs 2 arms and 2 wings (no clue why they'really called "true" dragons but I guess they are). Wyvern is characterized by having only 4 limbs, 2 hind legs and 2 fore limb wings. Example: Dragon god, Kalameet, sinh, midir, and the ancient dragons of elden ring are all true dragons. Interestingly magma wyrms are also ironically true dragons, in fact a "wyrm" is supposed to be a dragon with no limbs just I bigger meaner snake. And a "drake" is supposed to be a dragon with 4 legs/ 2 legs 2 arms and no wings so the hellkite drake and blue drakes are not drakes, they're wyverns. Sorry for all the rambling, dragons are just cool.

Ancient dragons are my favorite dragon designs. (Elden ring)

More dragons! Maybe size comparition?

Some off-shoot dragons include Hydra from DS and the Basilisk (they drop dragon bones in DS2).

unironically kalameet look the coolest to me

Ironic or rather not so ironic that Placidusax had 5 heads, but now only has 2, like the 2 finger vs 3 that is shown throughout the game.

This might sound redundant, but Midir reminds me more of a dinosaur than a dragon. Yes, one could say that dragons are basically fire-breathing dinosaurs, but in this case that similarity to a dinosaur makes me see it as an even more powerful being, more like a beast than a mythological being.

He’s very Godzilla-like

Amazing, you should have shown shanalotte for ds2 and the leyndell corpse.

Blue drakes are kinda weird compared to others. Literally the only ones to ever _breath_ lightning in those games.

Maybe they're born out of Seath's bullshit?

5:38 That’s quite a nice Wyvern you got there.

Dragon God literally with that Gigachad body.

I've always preferred the two leg, two wing approach to Dragons because four legged dragons either look like dogs (like Midir) or cats (like Kalameet). Therefore, I think the best design is, weirdly enough, the Glintstone Dragons from Elden Ring. With that said, obviously, Midir has the best Dragon fight in any From Soft game. P.S. I'd like to give an honorable mention to our boy, King Ghidorah! I mean, Placidusaxx

Technicly Dragons with 2 legs and 2 wings are called Wyverns. They are part of the dragon category but they are like a sub tier.

@@draw2death421 everyone says that, but it isn't actually true. It's a distinction created by D&D. Nothing else, including history, follows this idea. In fact, history has always used Wyvern and Dragon interchangeably. D&D was the first, and for the most part, only thing to make a distinction between the two.

@@draw2death421 A dragon is really whatever the writer or artist wants it to be. In the Elder Scrolls, all dragons are Wyverns, but still considered to be true dragons nonetheless. In Dragon Age, there are true dragons, and then there are Wyverns which are considered distinct. In terms of history, people have depicted dragons with a wide variety of characteristics. Two wings and two legs, two wings and four legs, four wings and four legs, or no limbs at all, doesn't matter.

@@xxfalconarasxx5659 in that same vein, a human, unicorn, and cat can be whatever the writer or artist wants it to be. Also not all the creatures in elden are wyverns which shows you probably didn't see the video and/or haven't played elden ring to make this comment. In history, people depicted creatures loosely or strongly similar to dragons that it was easy for simplisty sake and translation of different languages to use the word dragon as a catch all term in the same way the word "devil" was later used for anything perceived as evil or bad, where in the case of the WORD dragon it became desensitized to mean the same thing as the word monster. That is a ambiguous term used to describe literally anything and thus no longer holds any weight or water when thrown out. It is often the proper victim of what the original use of etymology fallacy was, as well as misdirection in arguments. Which is why the term "true" dragon (key word there being true not "fact") and/or "proper" dragon is used when referring to the six limbed dragons. Also the writers wrote than in lore for most of these, and in most of their games, with exceptions, these wyverns are not dragons so in some regard op is right.

ahh, so the old dragons of tree in Sekiro inspired those mobs in finger ruins this has so much implications

All of the barbs on the hellkit look really cool.

i didn't even know there were 2 different glintstone dragons. neat!
