Emotion Dragons
These species of dragons have a unique hoarding process which relies on causing and then gathering specific mind states of mortals which they draw strength and identity from. Smaller dragons may be fought off by a single individual, but young wyrms can quickly grow if given a reliable food source and will soon require a multitude of individuals to fend it off. Although some dragons have been determined ‘good’ and others ‘evil, it should be noted due to their nature, all emotion dragons are considered ‘dangerous, as it is just as likely to fall into a high of emotional bliss from a joyful dragon as it is to fall into a state of lull from a depression dragon. Both alien and intimate, this species of dragon has been a source of both the growth and destruction of mortal kind.
I wanted to take an angle on dragons that kept both their intimate and alien nature that I find so often in their lore. From a mechanic view I think it would be interesting to have players confront dragons with the risk of falling into a particular mind state, ie a state of anxiety from an anxiety dragon. On a personal note, I have always viewed my extreme states of mind, good or bad, as my dragons, which was the initial inspiration, I hope to continue to explore this concept.
Anxiety Dragon notes: open heart cage, rapid twitch movements, large tongue making it difficult to speak, painful head spikes, , unfocued eyes.
Depression Dragon, huge heave horns, lolling long body, deadened eyes, slow, soft, almost pleasant voice,
Creative dragons, multiple eyes/limbs working independently, growths of new plants constantly blooming and dying, abstract speech, easliy distracted.

A small rebel force has penetrated the shield and landed on Endor.

How much do I love this scene?

Palpatine so incredulous, challenging, of Vader’s ‘I have felt him’. Because he doesn’t actually want Darth Vader to have any sort of influence over or connection to Luke, and that’s the only thing ‘I have felt him’ means.

That means there is a BOND. It means that Darth Vader doesn’t just have a connection to someone else, but that someone else has a connection to him and could potentially influence him (has been, for four years, no matter how apathetic Vader became in the year since Bespin).

Palpatine doesn’t actually want Darth Vader to be turning Luke, because while the Sith way means the apprentice eventually killing the master, that’s only until the master isn’t in control anymore. And Vader having a connection to or turning Luke means Palpatine has less control over Vader. His death, inevitably, is coming.

#the thing about Sidious is that he’s a classic abuser#his method of keeping Anakin/Vader under his control always involved isolating him from his loved ones#the lie he tells Vader after he wakes up in the suit is the epitome of this#he knew that if Anakin had anyone close to him left at ALL#that this would pose at the very least *some* threat to his control over him#but even so he totally underestimated just how incredibly POWERFUL this particular bond would be#so powerful and so intimate that he would not even be able to *sense* it!!#and you can see in this scene how this realization shakes him#Sidious is experiencing the closest thing to fear that he’s probably felt in the entirety of his evil existence#Anakin’s personal attachments have always been his most powerful motivator#and so if ‘Vader’ has such a strong and IMPENETRABLE bond with ‘the son of Skywalker’#then it can only mean one thing:#he is still ANAKIN SKYWALKER (x)

And Vader says “my son is with them”. Not Skywalker’s son. *My* son.

There is definitely something of Anakin left in him. Sidious didn’t manage to rob him of that part of himself, in the end.
