It's from the Spines option.

Nice, you found it in your shark dragon build.

Introducing Coral Veiled Dragons (placeholder name)!
These fellas are basically just one of the species that descended from the prehistoric aquatic dragon that I made. They live amongst coral reefs (much bigger corals of course) and have turf wars rather too often than any other aquatic animals.

Anyway, here are some variants I made:

Inspired by Spinosaurus!...and quickly dissolved into being a more fully aquatic dragon.

    Their wings are evolved into more fin-like structures (still developing a membrane of sorts) to push against water currents and balance themselves against confrontation with same/other species of their size. And the other smaller fins are just extension of their skeleton, cannot really move and only serve to form a more streamline purpose for the body.
    Their other limbs are adapted for better mobility (they're probably at some point semi-aquatic and haven't gotten enough time to get rid of the arms and legs yet), they can reach into smaller spaces to snatch prey or just outright use their arms to capture prey given the chance—imagine some shelled creature, instead of risking damaging their own jaws if missed striking at the soft spots, they can just grab hold of the target first and feast. Additionally, they can use these yet somewhat agile claws to push past mazes of difficult rocky terrain in their habitat (fins would probably get injured more easily without extremely precise movements).
    Other things: they are somewhat colorful to blend in with ancient corals in their habitat; when they swim, they use their fin-wings and (webbed) feet for paddling; they must surface to breathe; they are territorial and will fight each other (mostly male againat male) on water surface or underwater.

:D

Most Green Dragon (honestly sound like an interesting challenge, aside from the limited palette, the theming could be something else to tackle)

Intriguing story...(I want more)

Thank you both! :>

Submission!!
The worldbuilding is briefly the world in the far future is this high-tech paradise, but to maintain the mass of technology, there are countless energy or power generators, which releases strange waste gases into the air that with long-time exposure make your insides glow vibrant colors (also messing up your regulation system, like making you feel cold or just numb all the time, and not see properly from constant uncontrollable hallucinations of lights). (Most) humans can afford to get high-tech masks to breathe through the air normally, but animals suffer, and yet there is no treatment if one got infected with this glowing nightmare. Kinder organizations just go and catch stray animals with this disease and replace affected organs with high-tech counterparts (which ironically also give off neon lights)—our dragon here is an example (the tech enhancements are the cyan lights, and the true disease color is between magenta and yellow).

I colored it in!

Oh my god the designs are incredible! I really like Atlas' color palette, and especially the tail glowing/transition effect, wow!

(Golden) Totem

Known as a symbol of Fortune, Bravery, and Chivalry.
Most commonly depicted alongside soldiers in wars in religious paintings—said to be alongside "the right side of the war", though often times are subjective justice when it comes to one tribe conquering another—believed to increase the probability of that side winning the war and much smoothly.

Judgement Totem

```11cHhhKqBjJdLhhc23131tNS21f4;8K8X1~8dw7!8X1+FX01js06KJ1cMmg008JJchf8p000%0%K&f0000&f%~cy%R~l~.mx~x&fxJ!2%4&fxh&000%0yJ0000cf&000%0%K!20000&fxL0000my&f00%K!20000&fxL0000my&f00%K!20000&f_dmy&f%0%K&f0000cdxh&0%0%K&f0000cdxh&0~k%X&f0000%K%3cd00```

This variation of Totem is also quite prevalent in wall paintings and paper illustrations, but themes of Conquer and Judgement are more emphasized here, and is implied to have a much aggressive personality...Hmm, what else is different?
Stories be told that one particular tribe that worshipped this deity performed notoriously gruesome blood rituals and is rumored to have never lost in any battles.

Evil Totem

```11cHhhKqBjJdLhhc23131tNS21f4;8K8X1~8dw7!8X1+FX01js06KJ1dMmfmN8cK0pdmV000018L&-0000&-00~L41&0004000&-DLnJD0&-80JK00014z00004f&-00018L800000&-4L0000SKJK008L800000&-4L0000SKJK008L800000&-41SKJK018L&-00000080JK018L&-00000080JKqHNg&-00008LDh0000```

The polar opposite of the original Totem, embodying Misfortune, Catastrophe, and Malice. Perhaps this one doesn't need much explanation to its symbolism.

:D *thumbs up*

Very striking colors! I do like the idea of having varied colored and patterned spikes for one dragon, quite interesting to think about if these spikes could maybe serve different functions as well. 

The head design is also pretty cool! The black and red patterns make the dragon seem like it’s wearing a mask. I do like the black and red patterns overall, sometimes there are more black than red in places (head and wings), other times there are more red than black (elsewhere), still quite coherent though, very unique.

My only critique would be the color palette having too much vibrant/contrasting colors at the same time: 

- I feel like there could be more shades of the main colors (red, black/gray...maybe white?) to better transition between each other because they are very contrasting; 

- also the gray belly plates looks somewhat out of place, it sits between white and black (seeing the value, technically closer to black but it doesn't seem like it at first glance), and isn't used anywhere besides the spikes on the dragon's head—I feel like it could instead be of a much lighter gray leaning towards white (I mean even the gray from the top spikes looks lighter, game magic I guess), or a much darker gray leaning towards black. 

That’s just my thoughts though, I’m not a professional lol.

If I’m going to rate it out of 10, I’d probably say a 7.5/10, there’s definitely room for polishing but you still did a wonderful job!

Yaaahh! Thank you :>

So basically this species of dragon lives around swampy habitats, they swim in muddy water and hunt on land, and they produce a special cyan-colored magical substance that helps them navigate through their environment. They are cathemeral, main diet consists of fish, small to medium-sized animals, insects, and eggs.
