So. Merlin.

What happens when S1 of Merlin ends and we have to wait ages for S2?

This.

Yeah, yeah, everyone talks about the big slash dragon under the castle, but the dragon I really like is the one on Camelot's shield.

I've decided his name is Cuddles.

Uther will not be pleased.

Tough luck, Uther.

Cuddles only has the two hind limbs, so technically he's a wyvern not a dragon, but all the knights laughed at "Arthur Penwyvern."

His tongue is a four-strand braid of thread. (Yeah, that was a good idea.) Depending on his mood, it can either mean he's thirsty, saying "bleah," blowing a raspberry at you, or he wants a bite of your curry. And you'd better give it to him, too, because he can fry you like a Hot Pocket.

His eyes are a fetching copper color. They glitter, but you can't see that through the camera.

Like my other dragons, Cuddles' wings, tail and neck are wired. Unlike them, he isn't really poseable. His wiring is only for support.

Also unlike my other dragons, his wings aren't quite anatomically plausible. But hey, I makes 'em like I sees 'em.

(Ignore the loose white thread on the table. I had a spool sitting nearby.)

"I vigilantly stand guard over Camelot from any and all--hey, is that curry I smell?"

Cuddles is a most gorgeous and cuddleworthy dragon. I might even be tempted to make a curry to lure him into my abode. ;D

He is probably lisping a bit, if one follows Anne McCaffrey's remarks. He's so cute, Arthur and Merlin would fight over who can take him to bed.

Haha, the way to a dragon's heart is definitely through his stomach.

I used to read a lot of McCaffrey, but I don't remember the lisping thing...is that why their names all end in "th"?

The solution is to put them all in the same bed!

It was never in the books, but McCaffrey said it in an interview that that was the reason why all names have the TH
*g*

A threesome? *giggles*

Oh, how I wish to have Cuddles:
:D
Please tell him, he's a very pretty boy

I guess that means if Cuddles were from Pern, he'd be "Cuddleth." And then of course the boys would have to be riders and they'd be M'rlin and...hmm, what happens to Arthur's name?

Please tell him, he's a very pretty boy

Cuddles looks very pleased.
