FANART:Legendz-Skylander Shiron the Windragon

(Made: 3/2/15 Colored: 3/3/15 Posted: 3/4/15)

A rough version of Shiron the Windragon from "Legendz" as a "Skylander". This will obviously NEVER become a real thing, Shiron is copywritten to Bandai (makers of the anime I think) as well as Rin Harai and Makoto Haruna (the writer and artist respectively of "Legendz"), but I thought it'd be fun to play around with the idea. I'm thinking though, to make him less like his anime counterpart I'm going to probably give him visible claws on his hands as well as his feet.

Information: 

Name: Shiron

Attribute: Air

Attacks: 

Wing Tornado: A basic attack that creates a strong gust of wind from his powerful wings.

Diamond Storm: Another less basic attack where he shoots feathers from his wings that become sharp like diamonds. Takes more damage to enemies than Wing Tornado.

Sonic Slasher: His third basic attack. When he uses this move, Shiron spins like a wind funnel horizontally and slams into the enemy similar to Spyro's basic 'head bash' attack. When used repeatedly on small enemies it takes care of them quickly enough. 

Upgrades: 

Flight: (only if I go with this quadruped design) Allows him to fly a few inches from the ground. Not very useful but makes him move faster at least.

Lightning Wing Tornado: An upgrade to the "Wing Tornado" attack, adding lightning to it and causing more damage.

Diamond Storm levels: Increases the number of feathers used in the attack. Can be upgraded up to 3 times (I think that's the limit...).

Soul Gem-Tornado's Wrath: A final attack where everything on screen freezes but Shiron. He then (still working on this so here's two animation ideas: 

1.) Slams his front paws on the ground as his wings flare out on either side

or 

2.) Lifts into the air, front paws at his sides and curled into fists, then his head moves so the bottom part of his jaw is visible and his wings flare out)

creates a powerful 'force field-like' formation of wind that wipes out the enemies around him in one hit. Cannot be used in boss battles.

Catchphrases: 

"The wind is on our side!" 

"Let's fight!"

*The sound a Windragon makes (it's kind of a roar mixed with a bird screech I think)*

------

I'm still working on the details, but if I don't use this quadrupedal design I'll use a bipedal one and his movement will be basically hovering in the air the same distance as the flight animation uses, since his feet aren't really meant for running it looks like. If I use the bipedal stance he won't have 'flight' as an upgrade either since in the anime he never beat his wings when flying anyway. He was kind of like an aircraft, using the wind to stay in flight.
