It would be cool to see stingrays, and stingray+lizard hybrids (will they look like real stingrays, or will they be "humanized," say, with a developed upper limb belt (arms, shoulders) and a human head)? Here are my sketches (sorry for the mess) (the second one looks like a Disney stingray). And what if one of the stingrays could stun everyone with electricity:eek:? What do you think? It wouldn't be easy for the opponent either.

By the way, regarding avatars::) Tony, it's funny, but I initially wanted to choose the central picture for my avatar, where an elf stands with a dagger and shield, but then I changed my mind.:)

Guys, I've decided to share a possible scenario with you, linking the races of the Wild, Erathia, and the Mechanoids.
Here's a brief outline:
The hero (the progenitor) of the Mechanoids, while still an apprentice (hopeless in terms of magic), falls asleep while reading another book in the library of the Silver Cities and has a prophetic dream. In the dream, he sees strange creatures he has never seen before (Erathians), and then he is transported to a wild, untouched forest. A kind of nature enclave that he could not even imagine. He wakes up and tries to find any mention of what he saw in books, encyclopedias, etc., and only in one of the ancient dream books does he find a vague description that this dream may mean great discoveries, but in the distant future. The chronicles also mention a mysterious figure, a skilled mage (but not the greatest), who also saw something similar, reported it to the council of mages, where he was declared insane and ridiculed. But he was obsessed with his thoughts about this dream. After the council, the mage gathered his small army of followers and set out in search of those mysterious places. After that, no one ever saw him again. So, after the "Mechanoid" created his city, established the production of worker robots and soldier robots (to protect the city), and gathered elite soldiers into his army, he decided to find those mysterious worlds... this can be further developed... First, he finds Erathia, and almost his entire army is destroyed by the creatures of Erathia, and he himself flees the battlefield with 2-3 soldiers, mortally wounded... this can be further developed... He ends up in the Wild, where he is pulled out of the turbulent river and healed (one could even say brought back from the dead). The Mechanoid recovers, but not all the inhabitants of the Wild are happy with the appearance of a stranger in their lands. And he is arrested... this can be further developed... He falls in love with the beautiful daughter of the head of one of the local settlements, and realizes that the feelings are mutual... this can be further developed... He tries to escape with her help, but the head's advisor, who has great influence in the Wild, tries to stop the fugitives and kills the girl, and blames the fugitive, who still manages to escape, because he is helped by the spirit of his beloved. The head, mourning his daughter, gradually loses control... this can be further developed... Returning to his city, the Mechanoid discovers that there are already legions of mechanical soldiers in the city, but they obey one of his henchmen (not a very good one) (a robot with AI and a strong desire to enslave). In order not to lose everything, the hero has to submit and swear allegiance to the henchman... this can be further developed... The Mechanoid works successfully (fortunately, his Intelligence is much higher than the AI of the henchman, and the robot does not have creative thinking) and he manages to create more advanced soldiers, which later helped him regain power. And to avenge his beloved, and stop the invasion of Erathia.
So, what do you think? How is it? Write your thoughts.
