This dragon model, designed for Strigovia: A Slavic Dark Fantasy Setting for 5e, captures a creature deeply rooted in Slavic folklore with a unique, haunting presence. Its burnt orange scales and green-accented wings stand out, suggesting a deep connection to both fire and nature, possibly representing decay or corruption, which fits the darker tone of the Strigovia universe. Unlike typical dragons in Western fantasy, this model has a more ethereal, weathered appearance, giving it a sense of ancient power and mystery.

The wings are the model’s most eye-catching feature, spanning wide with a translucent quality. The green patches add an almost diseased look, creating a visual narrative of a dragon tied to a dying or corrupted land. The body is crafted with detailed scales, giving a textured, realistic feel, and its thorn-like spines along the neck and head make it look fierce and regal. This is not just a beast of raw power but a creature of wisdom and cunning.

The dragon is posed standing on a rock, as if surveying its territory or preparing to take flight. The base is a rocky outcrop with detailed vines and stones, which enhances the natural, untamed environment it inhabits. This attention to detail in the base connects the dragon to the wilderness, making it feel like a guardian of a long-forgotten or cursed part of the world.

In Strigovia, this dragon could play a multifaceted role—perhaps as a guardian of ancient, forbidden magic, or a cursed creature bound to a lost kingdom. The model offers great potential for painters to explore earthy tones and vibrant contrasts, bringing the dragon's ominous presence to life.
