Kokynos: The fallen [HD+ closeup crops] (Patreon)

"There he was, the beast whom once allowed us to sleep in his colony in the southern reaches, no more. Misshapen, diseased, black and glossy he crowed from the cliff, an ear piecing screech that sounded the alarm for all other infected. The sign. "Come."

He was no longer the proud creature we had once known, he was now one of them. The dead and dying, the insane, the broken. He was our greatest enemy."

Big red has existed for a LONG time, not as long as fern [fern's 34ish years old] but big red's about 20, 21 now. I created the chaos entity immediately upon the initial development of my world, and while pretty much no one has ever seen him, he's always existed in both forms. original and chaos. While I did share chaos around initially, red's design was shared with as few people as I can count on one hand. Only the most trusted friends got to see him. I'm posting him now because why not, it's patreon locked and I am fairly comfortable sharing tidbits here and there, however I will always answer questions in personal DMs with those I trust [if I am asked anything, which is actually pretty frequently, by several ppl ♥]

Kokynos means in drake RED, but Red with a flair. sort of like naming him crimson as a pup. He was a very rare coloration, even for the southern Mist colony, as red isn't really seen and is a recessive gene in Mists. When his egg cracked and that blue-white shell opened and his parents saw a small red pup, more red than any star, they were shocked. Not only was he an unusual color, but he grew to absolutely massive in size, dwarfing Fern by 2 times his size. It's this massive size that works against him in the final fight, as fern, the much smaller and more agile dragon, is able to outmaneuver him and deal lethal blows in succession.
