Notes

Rare Overworld encounter, only appears in the “hidden” rooms mentioned in the Dungeon page. Can appear as an addition in encounters.
Lordrake have a very interesting name coming from “Lord-” (used as a title for the nobility for those who have a territory and have the responsibility to feed his subjects) and “-drake” (the drake called Drac in it’s origin in south west is a dragon which symbolize the devil which explain the demon and ancient type)
Concerning the species used for this animon we can think it’s the drake but there’s a lot of differences with the animon first the drake have a more dragon like and not a snake like form which is the shape of our animon. The drake is commonly described with four legs which is a problem since our animon have only two legs, the drakes which have the most ressemblance is the catalan drac (don’t get any legs and have wings) and the cities of the drac which have wings and only two thin legs. Some legends seems to speak about the fact that they don’t have wings so maybe it’s a drake but the creature probably the more accurate for Lordrake is a Lindwurm which is a dragon with heavy snakes features and mostly represent with 2 strong legs to walk or crawl. So it may be the fusion of the two creatures.
Concerning it’s design there is one thing to take account, it’s one of the animon create by one of the people who helped fund the game, whose reward is the chance to design an animon alongside the developers. With the fact this was developed with someone outside the studio we have a lot of designs around the evolution of this animon during the development (at some point was without legs and with more a cobra body and face and at some point with a royal mantle). In it’s general design we can see a lot of references for the royalties with a flashy blue (was a very rare color and was used for the royalty for many countries) which is used for the front as a weistcoat and with his shoulder-pieces like a costume (deducted from the way it’s separated in two part) or for the fact that the animon used poison. The dorsal spikes have a few balls accessories like and a gold colors reminding the color and the aspect of a crown. The tip of his tail seems to be a golden globe or the image of a scepter which represent regularly the royalty or the power of the monarchy. And to finish for the royalty his eyes which have a mascara / make up effect used regularly by the nobility during middle age. We can speak as well of the aspect of the creature with a lot of snakes aspects like the shape the fangs, his posture and the way he walks in the game as if he crawls and undulates.
Concerning his Furor Attribute he has a lot a way to express it like it’s agressivity in game where he chase you, his description which indicates a territorial animon which bite and place the corpses of his victims on all his territory to warn others. His big paws which can be ready to slash or slam other animon and his mean look which implies some agressivity.
