My concept for one of the five creator dragons in World: “One dragon fell into a deep slumber and became the forests”

Crudalis Chakor, the Forest Phoenix

A gentle giant of the woods, Crudalis Chakor is regularly slow, serene, and peaceful. They posses the ability to accelerate plant growth around them, causing a young seed to sprout in mere seconds. This ability can also be used offensively though, as they will defend them selves with large tangles of bramble to ensnare would-be attackers. There is another side to this drake however, you see Crudalis Chakor is omnivorous. In spring and summer, they will graze and eat fruit from the tree tops, but when fall and winter come in their natural phytokinesis seems to dampen. To make up for this, for the season they go on the attack. Like a biological switch, the Crudalis Chakor will now regularly ignite its body to engulf the surrounding forest in fire. They will then pick off the fleeing wildlife easily. While this may seem overly destructive, Crudalis Chakor is actually an integral part of the forest’s ecosystem as the burnt forest leaves room for new life

I personally REALLY want more insectoid/bug monsters and non-traditionally draconic elder dragons in Monster Hunter World, so I took it into my own hands

Timorapendra, the Mountain Slayer

The Timorapendra is a strange monster, even for an elder dragon. They will meticulously choose to settle in habitats with a high population of other elder dragons. They will then purposefully fight for control of the area, consuming most main prey of the closest elder dragon in the area. After slightly starving an elder dragon, the Timorapendra will pounce, feasting on the weakened beast. They have an impressive arsenal of natural weapons, from a corrosive venom spray to mandibles that ignite the spray, on top of their impressive natural speed and maneuverability, any elder dragon forced to face a Timorapendra head on better be ready for an all out brawl
