Dusthide Headcanon
I shall admit I was more than a little disappointed that the new breed doesn’t have lore, and it stifled my anticipation for them. But then, the new breed arrived and I realized, horribly, dreadfully, happily realized, that I can make my own headcanons. So my headcanon for the new breed is:
DUSTHIDES ARE ENEMIES/RIVALS/COMPETITION TO SNAPPERS.
When Earthshaker made Snappers he gave them powerful jaws which have a “crushing force of their beak is enough to shatter the scales and armored plating of most species”. Now then, which breeds have armored plating? Guardians yes and maybe other Snappers, Gaolers can have Scorpion and Undertides have Plating, but that is pretty much it. As to beast enemies? Forgotten Cave’s Corpse Cleaners and Reef/Dragon Snails come to mind, but most of the others are squishy (though the Burrow Bears can be a bit…prickly).
So then we have the Dusthides and they are just covered in plating. They are a competitive breed, an aggressive scrap loving breed. They are territorial, preferring to stay in their tunnel networks.  Snappers “do not seek confrontation”, they travel the majority of their lives and have difficulty with living in closed spaces. Snappers live above the Earth, Dusthides below. Yet there must have been conflict.
Snapper battle tactics are “trampling smaller foes beneath their bulk or using their powerful jaws to snap them out of the air”. Dusthides are smaller than Snappers, they “roll up until only their armored plates are exposed”, and use their wings to make short explosive jumps of movement. Perfect targets for those snapping jaws and stomping claws. However, Snappers have a weakness. “When confronted with overwhelming odds, Snappers will lower themselves to the ground, protecting their underbellies.” A soft underbelly is a perfect target for a burrowing dragon, or worse yet, the Dusthide’s like to modify the terrain with “pitfalls to surprise opponents”. These battle tactics suggest a competitive evolution between the two.
Snappers have an encyclopedic memory in order to remember which Dusthide territories to avoid. They rarely stop moving because Dusthide tunnels may lie below. I headcanon that Snappers have the ability to “listen” with their drum like feet (like elephants) and can speak long distances to their brethren with low-frequency sounds. But what if they are listening for other sounds? Like the sounds of digging beneath their toes?
The Dusthides have arisen from their tunnels due to “recent spikes in tectonic activity”, but the Earth Snappers have always known of them and the Dusthides have known of them. Stories and information play a big part in both breeds, there must have been whispered tales of these hidden dragons beneath the soil, fierce, proud, and territorial. Tales warning telling dragons to not dig so deep, to watch where one steps, to be loyal to one another, and never fight with the dragons beneath the Earth.

Earth Spirited
(shrugs)
I guess you can have a little bogsneak
as a treat
Dragon base copyright Stormlight Studios
[img id] Digital art of a grayscale, monitor-lizard like Bogsneak dragon with fur, curly horns, and an ominous mask added on. The dragon is very long with a belly that's low to the ground. It has two moderate-sized wings and twin fins running down its head and neck. The digital art additions by me are: An eyeless white mask with Earthen symbols on it over the face, an onyx horn curling down from the back of the dragon's head to the middle of its long neck, a cute little goat ear where you'd expect a goat ear to be, and fur that alternates between being fur and smoke along the neck. The golden fur sprouts down the dragon's back, as a fluffy beard around its chin, and on the dragon's elbows and heels. There are also little sparkles because Dragon Law dictates that there must be sparkles on dragons at all times. [/id]

for drago, the hardest part about the alien contact programme isn't keeping the aliens a secret from everyone
the hardest part is not being able to tell jaxon that he got to meet jarra
hey jaxon, did you know jarra has her pilot's license? you should've seen the way her face lit up when she sat in my fighter for the first time
hey jaxon, did you know she has your laugh? the one you've always been so self-conscious about. it lights up her whole face and it's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen.
hey jaxon, do you know how smart she is? all those famous historians gathered together, so self-important, so arrogant, so sure in their expertise. and yet, out of all of them, your baby sister was the one that came up with the idea of evacuating the citizens of earth to Ark.
hey jaxon. she's so, so very lonely. she grew up feeling abandoned and unloved and the anger is eating her up inside. and no matter how many times i tell her, she doesn't think the clan could ever want her. she won't believe how desperately we've been yearning for her all these years. hey jaxon, i know you still blame yourself for that, but i need you to forget about that when you meet her, okay? jaxon, you have to show her that she's one of us, and if she can find it in her heart to forgive us, we promise to never let her go again.
....hey jaxon. i met your baby sister, and she's everything we ever dreamed she'd be.

If this Aint a Fire, maybe Fire/Earth clan, I dunno what it is!
HUGE underground cavern just filled to the brim with magma and volcanos!
I bet for brave dergs, there may be hidden treasures in there to find!
Just watch your back for those darned fire spiders, especially if you/your group has smaller dergs, and or ones that can't/won't fight!

Dragon: Ari - Dusthide XXY Female
(Ripple scroll applied on 2024-04-21) (Lode scroll applied on 2024-04-21) (Ghost scroll applied on 2024-04-21)
Purchased For: 900 gems Hatched On: 2022-10-21 ID: 81570614
Parentage: Marsha/Jekyl Flight: Earth
Primary: Sable Basic Ripple Secondary: Sable Basic Lode Tertiary: White Basic Ghost Eyes: Primal
Comments: Went looking for an earth primal dragon to turn into a dusthide, since I like having a relevant primal-eyed example of each ancient breed. Spotted this one among the results, already breed changed. No idea if the previous owner had started to gene her up and changed their mind, or if they threw the dusthide (and possibly the primal eyes) at her so they could sell her for more, but she's exactly what I wanted so I snagged her.
My plan was to gene up her and her mate as fossil dragons. I haven't had a definitive answer yet as to whether the new genes like varnish-lacquer, strike-coil, and petrified-lode will be allowed for fossils, but I've gone and fallen in love with the look of lode wings against treasure primaries on them, so I'm going ahead with gening them up anyway. They may turn out to be fossils by the actual subspecies definition; they might not be. But I like them this way.
Ari is the name she came with.
