Styphon is not as he appears?

[Neomi Yves]

So I was scrolling through a conversation on the Jericho Facebook where someone asked the question about Styphon's appearance. According to Ted, Styphon is a Medium Sized Western Dragon who appears younger than the other dragons. This is despite the wiki's portrayal of a Chinese Dragon.

This is for reference for anyone who may or may not be converted - ahem - who follows Styphon.

(I'm putting this hear because originally this confused the hell out of me. I was looking at some things to purchase in honor of my Dragon and realized that I'm glad I didn't buy it.)

The more you Know. . .

Styphon is like the dragon of heavy metal, and most descriptions I've heard give him a very metal-fantasy-western-style dragon appearance.

Undead and brutal stomping and domination with gutteral shouting and guitar solos, orbs of power and fireworks and beating the snot out of your enemies in person because you're that much more clever than they are. All that good stuff.

Yeah tezoth was the only asiatic looking dragon to my knowledge.

Just looked at styphons entry in the wiki it offers no description of his appearance. Where did you find the description?

[Andrei Katrares]

I've heard it described vocally for a series of players who were doing a vision / augery / history quest thing a bit back while I was still a shaper in training.

Thanks Levi. Brennus, the one photo that they have up for Styphon looks like a Chinese Dragon which is wear the confusion started for me. It's the 3rd picture bottom Right hand side. http://underworldlarp.wikidot.com/styphon

oooooh yeah that looks really odd!

[Gustav Von Schattenkrieger]

Looks like the dragon from Reign of Fire which was unleashed in England so definitely not an Asian dragon

[Brennus]

That looks like a wyvern

I need to read up more on Dragons. Although it is odd.
