A real explosion should look completely different!
In my opinion, the most informative and useful post for beginners, for whom the topic seems to be created, was Averna's post. After that, everything else can be safely considered as off-topic. I'm not very interested in finding out what someone calls a wyvern or lizard; a few examples are enough, but what GO, ramp-up, or split are – that's really valuable information.
In light of the above, I suggest closing the topic.
