(A/N: It's been awhile since I wrote something for this story, but this is no chapter I am assuring you. This is a collection of Drago's Army descriptions that I have written which mostly consist of his traps but I am working on his armada, banners, crest variations and even the appearance of all his men seen in HTTYD 2 excluding the Dragon Trappers themselves as they're a separate tribe all in themselves. All of the blood, sweat and lack of tears put into this as there's more war machines to describe such as Nicolas Wei's French article page called "How to shoot your dragon" which shows some more machines that will have to be described with speculation as there are no textures; just the solid grey color which goes into the making of the models. Drago's Army is known by another name in fact and the name we have been using is not the official name of the tribe, no instead it is called the "Northern Alliance" which doesn't fit the description I'm going for here; what I'm saying is that I'm not using that name because it's not about the northern Slavic, Sami, Inuit and Asiatic tribes, the focus about this army has always been about Drago himself. His generals known as the Warlords aren't featured here due to me only working on Chaghatai Khan or more specifically his weapons which are his dual swords. Now then I would like to make an announcement and this is about a Director's Cut for this installment which features a revamped storyline that not only gives Eret, Son of Eret a little more of the spotlight but also focuses around the missing namesake Curse of the Emperor's Sword; but also Drayko's trauma manifesting itself in the form of a murderous grip that has a chokehold on his life because although he has killed Red Death, the Bane of Queens it is said that he was supposed to die alongside her when she was eradicated for good. Because he did not die and survived the death he was supposed to endure, he is now being fed by paranoia that fate's hand is out to kill him so that it will be as intended or so he believes throughout at first; all of this will be explained as the Director's Cut goes on to be as it was meant to be told. This version is based around a little game I'd like to call Prince of Persia: Warrior Within because not only does Drayko refuse to use Inferno and instead use melee weapons like the Eagle Sword, Spider Sword, Serpent Sword, Lion Sword, Scorpion Sword, Gorilla Sword, Jaguar Sword and Ogre Sword; but he also wields numerous secondary weapons and he is very pissed off to the point where he's dispatching his enemies in gruesome ways with one fate and one million ways to cheat her grasp. It's even said that a beast is out there hunting him down so he can kill the Chief of Draconia, but before long all who have come to read this far will be looking forward to whatever I have in store if I ever get around to it of course. Now then, I've decided to divide everything I've written about Drago's Army into separate categories as this will be incomplete but it will be updated every now and then to add whatever something new I come up with; Enjoy!)
Drago's Army
THE CONQUEROR
HTTYD
The Conqueror was the main armada flagship that led all the other warships in the name of Drago's fleet, there were various details that had to be explained separately on the outside and as for the inside below deck as well as the cabin; nothing was shown inside and most of the deck was decorated with their war machines as well as their sleds to banners alike. Here we go:
Bowsprit
There were a duo of up and forward curving bowsprits whose tips were an hollowed outlined skeleton stock like design on top where both of them lunged forward a bit, in between those two was a horizontal board that went outward forth near the outer edges as it's a large gap to walk around and see Drago's Bewilderbeast resting underneath the cold ocean surface. In the middle was a inverted trapezoid shaped gap that had a short outer facing conical spike poking out, piercing through the skull in the middle but going no further than near the tip of the ram underneath for stabbing through the arctic sheets of snow in the water. The bottom front for all three decks including the pontoon rafts on the sides were fitted on with a iceram which of course sloped downward into a vertical rectangular shape, studded with both a bolt and with a upwards facing scalene triangular shaped spike alternating in between as the top line had a trio of studs going across; the bottom of the icerams having a thick rectangular behind an thin one as both the top to bottom edges were studded in a line going around, curving up with an barbed triangular tip that went up and sloping down forward into a nice slim sharp tip from at the end. Four iron studded plates were on both sides of the outer iceram as two were both in a rectangular shape that slanted backwards at the top, the third resembling a square that as it was the lowest plate and the fourth on top being in a rectangular shape slanting backwards at the tip to form a rectangular shape that slimmed out into a thin inverted trapezoid tip; all the edges studded into a line on both the top and the bottom respectively. There's a circular ring in the middle of the first and the last iron plating which was also studded around, sporting an chain leading down to a ring that had a conical rectangular shaped bar; connected to a vertical rounded trapezoid shape which led to two more that connected to both sides and bore a pair of horns that sloped upward to either side on the left to the right of the middle, creating the anchors seen on the front and the back sides of this ship. The bowsprit had a overarching iron studded plate that curved upwards to the front, studded along the lower edge for both sides and right upwards from the middle but remaining smooth while at it; the downwards sloping face of the iceram having a skull facing down as well for that matter. The two sides of the two bowsprits from the left to the right sides each had a outer side which was a studded wall, the middle slanting downward with a line and continuing downward with the studded wall as the outer facing tips were vertical circular shaped hinge rings; smaller cylinders had been stacked atop of each other in the center amounting to three as the third outer facing one happens to be a horizontal cylindrical bar, which stuck outwards for a little bit and the tips that went out featured six studs on both sides each. There was no need for a crow's nest as this was the one perfect in seeing what's up ahead, and seeing how Drago's Bewilderbeast was doing in order to bring this ship forward across the naval seas
HTTYD
Port and Starboard Rafts
On both decks for each side of the left, the center and right sides going around the front had a iron studded plate around the top edge; the sides being a inverted trapezoid shape as those tips slanted back towards the sides and with a horizontal rectangular shaped iron plate which was going around, both sides at the front had a L-letter shaped line of studs facing inwards to the iceram. Three studded bolts went down vertically and then another three went toward to the ring which held a chained anchor, followed by two studs on the right side with five more studs slanting downward to the cylinder shaped bar of the anchor; the iron studded plates of the two sides for both decks had a half inverted trapezoid shape which had ten studded bolts going downwards on the farthest sides at the front. The iron platings at the edge had a line of six studs going down on the side which was also a inward facing half inverted trapezoid shape bar, the frontal face had a line of four large studded bolts going downwards with the vertical trapezoid shaped place on the bottom had three studs going across the upper line; while the line that went across the middle in between the the sixth and seventh bolt on the bottom, a large studded bolt was in the middle at the front of the face. Ending with two studs that were near the bottom leaving behind a smooth vertical rectangular shaped gap on the bottom, the iceram forming a slim and outward facing inverted trapezoid shaped bar that stuck out going down towards the bottom sloping into a vertical scalene triangular shape that sloped forward underneath the seas; forming into a large triangle shaped tip at the furthermost bottom, and at the front in between the iceram were three squares that had three studs on the left to the right side which then went into one on each corner for the second square and one at the two upper corners of the third square at last. There was one solid rectangular bridge connected to the center ship with two pontoon rafts on the sides, both of them going forward and both of them going backwards; railings were present so as to not fall off into the riptides of the dark seas illuminated only by the shadows of the moon rising on the horizon's edge from the arctic cave Drago's Army is found within. In between the horizontal wooden beams that's serving as the outlined skeleton stock like design of the railings, there were a pair of two studs that are next to each other along with rectangular shaped iron plates that're studded all around from the edges; two upward slanting bars went underneath from the lower left to the right sides into the bottom of the center of the horizontal rectangular shaped bar going across, acting as the railing. Exactly in between each of the lower left to right sides of the slanting beams is a square shaped stake with a long pyramid shaped spike on top, just as it could be seen here as all four sides went inward into a sharp tip at the uppermost top of the staked beams. There's a line of thick stripe X-letter crossed square shaped boxes that went from the front and over to the back side on both the left to the right sides alike, two short strokes went across all four sides of the squares like the brown book seen in the beginnings of the first two Shrek films. Once it elevated up to the top, the sides sloped into a narrow J-letter shape that is studded with six going upwards and twelve going across to the back of the ship which was called the stern; there was a rectangular shaped iron studded top lined plate in the middle of the bar that went horizontally across the line above the square shaped porthole windows and over toward the stern. There were two more above but were shorter than the bottom most one, the two windows on the left and right had three vertical dual top to bottom studded planks right in the middle; with a upper right slanting dual studded plank going up from the lower left side of the stern, the line of square portholes going across with the third to last and the last one being boarded up with dual top to singular studded vertical planks in between the open porthole window in between. Underneath the J-letter shape that created the stern of the ship, there was a ten studded rectangular shaped iron plating on either side with the top iron plating going across with nine studded bolts under the two open square portholes which formed a horizontal rectangular shape altogether on both sides. The top most line going back to the stern had a three studded lined inverted trapezoid shaped iron plating in the middle of the X-letter crossed box below the railing, no studded bolts could be found and could be said for the secondary beam underneath except for the dual studded bolts coming in a trio which could be found going across from the back to the front; the bottom most line had three single studs evenly spaced out in between one another from the left to the center and to the right in that order, each one in between the vertically lined crack as this beam was separated with one another from the bow to the stern. It wasn't just the port and starboard sides that had a line of square shaped portholes, the stern had them too but we'll get to that when the bridge is crossed

Main Deck
Looking at the main deck from a top down view, it's a wide vertical rectangular shape which is where the upper and lower catwalk balconies of the commanding deck which the latter leads out forward to the main mast which is pretty thick and large in a square shape; a staircase that was unrailed leading to the former by fourteen flatboard steps and around the mast itself, for the lower one clasped around the three sides which were the left to the back and the right in that order. It led six steps down and it was covered on the sides for this section, having more of the same railings from the top with pyramid shaped stakes in between the seven gaps that were rectangular in shape. The masts were both a thick and tall square shape with walls that's slanting in upwards a little bit, as the four corners had a square shaped plate as the front and the side had a five-numbered dice formation with a extending rectangular plate all around; it was studded from the top onto the bottom edge. Two meters upward there was a horizontal rectangular plate with four studs on each of the corners from to the front to the sides, going up against the thick cornered beams as it too had a line of studs from the top to the bottom; heading across to the other side with the cornered beams that're also being raised a bit from the vertical line of five wooden beams that stood upwards to the top. Speaking of such this is also where it had a iron band around that had four-numbered dice formation studs from onto each of the corners, and a line of them from the top to the bottom as the former was shorter than the main square pillar inside. The sides of the mast was wider and in between the two, the extra beam inside which made the studs on the sides have four of them on the top and to the bottom; protruding upward is a pair of two iron dual pronged hooks that held the bundle of rope with two cylindrical bands on both hooks, while the rest that drooped down are long. Below the iron platings were also a pair of protruding H-letter shaped coils that held the rope that too was being wrapped around them in thick numbers, the middle is tied down to a ring connected to a vertical facing ring on the wide raised trapezoid shaped studded plates; that's extending out to both of the bottom corner pillar's walls. In between the two hooks happens to be a vertical rectangular iron plate as all four corners were studded, having a smaller shape protrusion on the bottom with a bar sticking out forward with a half diamond shaped hook at the tip; the barbed triangular shaped tip slanting to the upper top side. There was a triangular shaped ring that slid into the middle with a link of five chains holding the suspended hanging lantern variation based off the braziers and torches, with two parallel ropes on each of upper hook that went directly up to the sails above and having the thick square around the pillar be aligned with forty-seven studs in total for each direction where the top faces; ten on the top row with nine on the next row, ten on the third row again and eight on the fourth row with at last ten on the bottom fifth row. At least two rectangular beams supporting the catwalk could be found on either side from across each other underneath, two outer facing scalene triangle shapes could found in the front and in the back; with a thin line going around in between the rectangular shaped gap underneath which then had a square shaped base around the bottom, the lower edge having a outward facing rectangular shaped edge circling the four sides. If it's not mentioned before there was a vertical square shaped rectangular beam that's going right in front of the mast, having the same base as the latter while the top had a rectangular shape that was clasping underneath another one that went outward for a little more; the third layer shaped like a inverted trapezoid that slanted outward all around with the square pillar going up in the middle, with a square shaped frame surrounding the pillar and bearing a solid floor. The outward slanting railing had a singular studded bolt in the middle for each of the sides, as it meant the four corners of the elevated raven's nest that doesn't need to be at the top of an mast to be used for spotting what was ahead of the ship. The mast behind happened to have a inverted trapezoid shaped ring that slanted up and outward, with an rounded edged square shaped ring that went around on top with two rectangular shaped beams going forward over to the bottom beams of the nest; a forward slanting ladder made of rectangular bars going up to the vertical rectangular shaped hole that faced toward the front, having a series of at least fifteen horizontal cylindrical shaped bars that went in between the two beams which created the ladder itself. The base was supported as there were backward facing vertical rectangular shaped iron platings, which had three studs that went aligned on the sides on the left and the right sides
HTTYD
Commander's Deck
The upper deck above leading to the cabin behind the wheel happened to be a horizontally rectangular shaped deck, as the lower corner edges featured an raised square shaped pillar beam; having a slight inward trapezoid shaped plate that was laid on top of the iron studded rounded edged corner shaped square going around. There were three studs on the right and four on the left with three on top and the bottom for the right, four on top and the bottom on the bottom respectively; with both sides having two on the top to the bottom on the left and four on the top to bottom right sides on either side. Going on top of the inwards slanting and in the center of the trapezoid shaped block which is spacious enough to form the rectangular shaped inner edges, there was a X-letter square shaped box that was the same as the railings on the furthest left to the furthest right sides of the port to starboard sided deck respectively as it was topped off with a horizontally tilted square shaped brazier on top; the four sides had about four studded bolts on the upper to lower sides of the left and right and three studs that went upwards in the middle, all four corners had dual sided vertical scalene triangular shapes with the flat sides facing outward. The top and the bottom side had a rectangular shaped strip that went across from the left to the right around with a vertical strip going up in the center, a pair of two studs were from the middle top and a singular one in the actual middle as well; to that above the actual box was a square iron studded plate that had four studs on the front as well as the back sides with three on the left to the right sides respectively, in the middle was a illuminating fiery flame in the dead center that lit the flagship of a madman. Underneath it which was the triangular beam railing pattern to be exact was an two pronged forked bellows like shape that went horizontally into the middle, appearing to be resting on it's side with the nozzle facing away from the main center down to the two brazier pillars; also being banded in iron with studded edges for the square shaped plating at the tips as the frontal left side had a line of three studs on top with five more going downwards, the back right was thinner and it's studded on top with two but had the same five studs that went down. The vertical beam had continued down with a larger rectangular shaped band going around with a line of eight studs on the top and four going down on the left side of the front, the bottom of the right had two of them instead with the middle having a outward facing vertical rectangular shaped plate of iron with four studs on either side with a single one on each corner; the wooden beam going out horizontally before curving downward into a rounded edged arch that had a studded wall in the middle, this led to the rest of the lower half octagonal shaped catwalk that was in front of the wheel and melted into the rectangular shaped catwalk bridge leading to the raven nest mentioned before previously. Underneath the downwards sloping beam is a upwards slanted beam that supported the bridge, with the first stake having a slightly inwards facing trapezoid shaped studded iron rectangle that then had a vertical iron studded plate going under right in front of it; studded on all four corners as the rest of them were forward facing rectangles that had a vertical iron plate that was studded all over, the former having a single in front and the sides having three on either side and the rest was varied between two to three on the front and the sides alike. The staircase leading up had the staked pole and triangular beam railing with the left side featuring large but short pyramid shaped spikes that were studded on the edges of the commanding deck where the wheel was, but baren on the right side as there's a short staircase leading up from the horizontal rectangular shaped walking space leading over to the back of the cabin's wall. Underneath the deck was a line of vertical rectangular planks going across with three long studded lines at the top to the middle and to the bottom, with a pair of two long vertical rectangular beams on either side as the right was shorter than on the left; both had a line of studded bolts going down on the left to the right for both beams, with the center being a square holed iron studded grate. The upward beam forming the inner line of the staircase also featured a studded line of three studs each going up and the scalene on the bottom side of the staircase having a outline of studs going along the edges. The furthest left side had a staircase in the third gap with the first, second and fourth ones being taken up by railings which then led down to the lower port side of the stern; bearing a staircase which was near the wheel as it had a pyramid shaped stake on both the left and right sides, sloping downwards to the front with a smooth center and two rectangular shaped edges which were raised a little bit. The bottom edges were square in shape but sloped up into a diagonal slide that went to form a rectangular shape, clasped around with a rectangular shaped iron band as it was studded with three studs on the left to right sides on both staked tips with the sides of the inner to outer horizontal surfaces having a pair of two studs on the top to bottom on both the left to right sides respectively; leading down to the raven's nest catwalk bridge with nine rectangular shaped steps as the gaps on either side were covered with a curving trapezoid to the inner studded rectangular iron plate which was slanting downward on from the top right. Not to mention the forked bellow like shape on the left side had the triangular slanted dual-sided beam situated in the center. The bottom edge of the nine-step staircase had a trio of three studs at the front and a duo of two at the left to the center and to the right side on both the two outer facing sides, which was apart of the forward facing vertical rectangular shaped bars which were rounded edged; with the left side of the floor having a vertical plank which separated the commanding deck by giving the port side it's own walk round space and with both sides of the middle having the edges slanting downward before going forward for the rest of the way to the direct center where the wheel was, having four pyramid spikes that're on the left and on the left side. Continued down below for the next paragraph description
HTTYD
Wheel
The front of the deck had the wheel connected to the rudder below using a coil of ropes that're in between the two borders which were flat sided at the front and the back sides, the middle of both of the iron clasps were rounded shape as the front to back of the two sides had a studded bolt at the front to the back; with the bottom being a horizontal rectangular shaped iron plate which sloped in and downwards to form a vertical outwards facing upper quarter half shape gap on either side, this bottom bar matched the one above by length with four studs going across to the other side at the front side. The middle was a short outward cylindrical shaped bar as it was jutting out a little bit with a thin rim as it also stuck out at the front as the rim on both sides had a inward slanting edge all around. From the bottom of the bar there was a kind of inverted Y-letter shape as both sides narrowly slanted downwards on either side as they then formed an vertical rectangular shape, the middle went upwards with a triangular shaped tip at the top in that instance with six horizontal grooves going across from one side to the other while the left to the right side bottom squares featured a upwards triangular shaped groove; the bottom side in the center was a solid wooden board. The left and the right sided iron studded squares were large with seventeen studded bolts on both of them, with the inner corners having a eighteenth one next to the bottom right to left corners respectively; seven studded bolts formed a C-letter shape which went inwards to the steering wheel section and with fifteen studs going across on the thick rectangular shaped bar, five studs at the top with another five that went inwards right in the middle and the third row of five that was the same as the uppermost top side. Under that were X-letter crossing beams as the dead center middle happened to have a horizontally tilted pyramid shaped spike going outward, once again the bottom sides going straight down a little as they slope down forwards before careening downward for a short end as both borders were raised as the center was sunken in a little bit; having eight upwards triangular shaped grooves going vertically upwards to the bottom of the iron studded vertical rectangular shaped square blocks. The inner back sides featured a vertical rectangle as the top sides slanted down forward with a studded iron wall in between the sides that were also sunken inwards on both sides, the inner sides had a downward slanting groove which then curved vertically to the bottom directly to the end; the horizontal rectangular plank had three studded bolts on either side. The boards on the side had two studded bolts at the beginning with four more in the back going across to the inner side, and as mentioned before both the front as well as the back were the same so it doesn't have to be explained again; there were two ropes on the front to the middle as well as the back too, as both sides of the front to back also had a singular rope going around the left of the center and the right of the center of course looping overhead as it went down to the rudder underneath the ship. The bottom front of the wheel featured a studded square plate as both of the vertical rectangular iron shaped sides had sixteen studded bolts each amounting to thirty-two in total on both sides, with another six going across in the back horizontally and the flooring of the square inside the iron studded borders having a sharp tip diamond plating pattern. The main attraction which was the wheel on the otherhand had a horizontal rectangular shape bar going all around, with the bottom underneath being a thicker rectangular shape that also went all around although to be fair it was separated with ten rounded edged vertical rectangles that were studded on all four corners for each one on the top and the bottom; having a large horizontal pyramid shaped spike at the top with two more smaller ones on the lower left to the right sides. Going across the middle at the top were horizontal rectangular shaped iron strips going all around as each of the sides had a line of pyramid shaped spikes; three on the top, two on either side of the top, one on the upper sides, three on the lower sides, one on either side of the bottom and two on the bottom of the wheel. Each of the ten slight rounded dome edged and shaped to vertical rectangular iron blocks had a handle at the top of them, with two stacked cylindrical rings underneath with a short vertical cylindrical shaped handle in the middle and a bulbous edged tip at the top; the bottom of each one had a singular thin cylindrical ring going around the top as it then extended down with a short vertical cylindrical bar which also had a pair of cylindrical rings that went around at the bottom, below that was a square plate that sat atop of the ten vertical rectangular shaped wooden blocks also going all around. The three blocks going downwards from the top left to the right featured a singular large pyramid shape spike in the middle, the left side had two on either side with a singular large one in the middle on the horizontal left side block while the horizontal right side block had a singular large one as there was another on the lower right side of the block; the lower left to the bottom had two small singular pyramid shaped spikes with the lower right to the bottom each had two large singular pyramid in the middle, though to be exact it was one for both of them and the cracks left in between had a halfway sunken inverted thin triangular shaped block to fill 'em in. The middle featured a circular shaped iron disc that slanted downwards to the outer side, each of the four corners had three studded bolts on the upper right to lower left with two going from the upper left to the lower right side respectively; the four sides also had a vertical rectangle with two small pyramid shaped spikes at the top and a larger one on the bottom, horizontally tilted with the bottom side having a large one at the bottom with a smaller one above, as the left had two small pyramid shaped spikes going diagonally upwards to the top right side as it was the same for the right as the bottom was large and the top was small. The center had the large cylindrical shaped core jutting outwards with a up and inward slanting rim appearing to form a flat sided face at the front. At the bottom of the wheel was more of the same that was at the back as the iron studded squares this time had three studs on the sides with five from the front, one at both of the upper corners and three going across the bottom as the center is aligned with five more going across in between on the surface of a thin horizontal rectangular shaped bar that was sunken halfway down

Dragon Catcher Variants
...
Dragon Catchers were simple, dome-shaped traps which closes when a dragon flies into it. A captive hostage dragon was placed into this machine and other dragons who are ready to do whatever it takes to free them will fly inside of it, and then the trap will be shut instantly all with a clanging and clamping snap of the two metallic jaws on either side. Each horizontally rectangular base had a inverted triangular foot in front of it that was bolted with a golden to bronze colored bolt on the two sides on top, and one side in the bottom which was the mid-section as the actual middle had a square shaped outline with a dug hole in the middle itself. Atop of the base was a scalene triangular shape that was segmented by four thick boards as it can easily be counted due to how many splitting cracks there was on the front or three at best as it don't matter either way, it started out as a rectangular shape before slanting inward just a little bit towards the top where the iron rectangular cap was which was bolted on the left to right side; having a smaller rectangular plate in the middle which also had two bolts that was on the bottom left to bottom sides, the front of which had a downwards facing trapezoid that was wide at the top but narrow at the bottom tip. A rectangular plate was bolted upwards on each of these with one bolt on the farthest left to right sides across going from the bottom to the middle and to the top, all while there were two golden bronze conical spikes which went outwards including in the middle of the bottom plate. Across the bottom line of this trap is a series of five studs evenly spaced out by two inches from each other with the middle one as such going up seven studs, although half of the sides went up to only three due to a square to rectangular vertical plate that was bolted on all four corners with a half circular handle which stuck out forwards; the bottom of the halfway point of either side where the gears were had no triangular foot out at the front but instead had six studs across the bottom rim, the plate of which was a larger inverted triangle and overlaid by two gears at the front. The bottom as it was single bolted on the bottom rectangular plate of the square shaped teeth that went all around, the inner disc sinking a little bit inward along with a round hole that featured a inner bolt in the center; having a wooden handle that stuck outward for cranking all around so that the dome shaped trap can open on both sides. The top gear which was five planks across from smallest to largest and back to smallest on either side, having a studded rim with the boss of such in the middle being a outwards cylindrical shaped ring that was filled; an shorter ring in the center with a even smaller circle in the center, the golden plates all around the shield as it could be seen as like shaped gear had two studded bolts on the front to bottom for each of the four sides that had X-letter diagonal cuts as they were individualized and at last all four of them were adorned with three conical spikes all around to turn the two wheels on both sides as what could be explained as. The third disc was medium sized and went outwards as it also has a raised ring disc on the center as well, being the connector to the two gears below it and that concludes this in-depth description of the three gears to operate this dome shaped trap; although it was also seen on the inside on either side, where the two triangular serrated and shaped overhead jaw clamps were acting as the hinges inside. In the inside of the traps were a round circular base that was spacious with four square to rectangular bolted plates that had the handles for the chains for the captive dragons inside to be chained down, and lure all the other dragons coming to their rescue inside here. The overhead triangular serrated teeth jaw shaped clamps was segmented into three with the first two being studded all around over to the other side, while the third and final clamp where the triangular teeth in the middle is not studded but instead entirely smoothed out with visible cracks. Finally, according to Eret that regarded these traps; Drago Bludvist and his men has to be very careful with these traps as it comes to infiltrators of his campsite in the northern arctic lagoon, and on the battlefield as all infiltrators are bound to use Zippleback gas to blast their way out to act as unexpected help for the allies of dragons they're seeking to trap them in using these ones and there are more than one type which this one was the first of many
Portable A was a large square as the middle held the dragon catcher dome studded around all around the lower rim but this time in the middle on the front to back there was a square that held a overarching horizontal ring for the chain to go through connecting to the other side, it also had a overarching ring up the front not too far from it on the top edge of the studded rim as well for running the chain straight through to the middle forward and upward curving fang shaped hook as there were three of them on either side of the middle; which was a vertically facing ring this time as the chain had tipped off with two up and inward curving fangs on both sides, sloping downward to meet up in the center and the fangs themselves being strips that were laid against the closing top on the front to back sides. All edges were slanted a little bit inward as both sides had a outward trapezoid shape in the middle of them both, extended to the purpose of the tri-ringed hinges that had a small upper half circular shaped peg that was on the bottom and the sides having a horizontal strip at the back of the circular tri-hinges; it's corner square shaped plates in between the corner facing securing fang tips on the corners is pegged in the center with a round cylindrical shape, both sides of the front to back of the first variant of this trap. At the back in between both rectangular bars which had a stout trapezoid end facing outwards when slanting a little bit inward, there was a chained winch in between which was a horizontal cylinder that also had two stout trapezoid shaped plating in the center of either side with two vertical studs on top of them; slanting downward as another cylinder shaped peg stuck out with a inverted L-letter shaped turning handle standing up but slanting forward towards the front. All four corners had a upward facing square beam with a hooked end that was dual lashed on the bottom having a single bolted stud atop of it, the hooked tip in question started out straight enough before sharply curving into a fang shape which had a dual pair of inverted inner half triangular shaped barbed spikes; flipping downward overhead to stab the ground and secure the catcher trap in place. Underneath was a dual pair of upward curving fang tipped skis for sliding across easier on the ground when the four corner legs had been flipped back onto their standby position, at the front was two horizontal rings which are chained to the Thunderclaws on either side of the harness built into their armor to pull them forward. Finally, this was one variant of the Dragon Catcher trap for portability as there's also a second version
Portable B was was a large octagon as the center held a open catcher studded along the rim of all sides, both the left and right had vertical rectangular sides which had rims studded on the front to the and the front to back sides all around; with a secondary vertical studded strip of which went on the other side of the three wheels which were all horizontally plated, middle for each one studded with a single bolt on the center for all three wheels that went in front of each other on either side for portability. The corners had a lower half rounded shape that was at the front of the dome shaped catcher studded across with two studded bolts, vertical ones at the bottom and four on the front facing square plates; the sides of the octagon that're in front of the three vertical wheels had two horizontal thick strips with three studded bolts that went over to the edge, the left was longer in three while the closest was shorter in having two studs as in between there was a tri-ringed turning wheel for opening the catcher trap. It's got a round peg in the center sticking out with a handle on the side and the front of which has three studded bolts on both of the vertical facing rectangular strips, having horizontal rings of which held the two chains to the harness of the dragon that brought this one onto the field in times of assaults and sieges against dragon sanctuaries. The back had the ring at the top with a horizontal one on the bottom and a horizontal standing one in front of that one, chains all the way running through for opening as it ran to the fourth ring from behind across what it's considered to be a thick rectangular smooth plate; both sides of the left to right are smaller with two horizontal studded bolts on either side and four on the faces, having a horizontally positioned chained winch that was the source of it all. The cuts on the sides were a trapezoid shape that had it's top side facing inward on the left to right, as was the ones that stood up in the back on both sides; a smaller one standing in the center on top as well with an small peg that had a L-letter shaped turning handle for the chained winch. The dragons who brought it onto the field were larger and stockier Hotburples who adorned chained muzzles with both the back to the center being studded, and the front being adorned in spikes for it's neck and chained on both sides behind it's legs and along the sides of it's body; even the mouth was blocked off with a vertical studded strip that was crossed on top and on the sides, bringing the portable trap onto the battlefield at Drago's command. Finally, this was the second variant of the Dragon Catcher trap for portability but like it was said before there are various types
Portable (Toothless) was a basic Dragon Catcher that had a thick circular shaped base on the bottom, with the front having a forward facing lower half circular shape jutting out with the back also jutting out with a upper half circular shape; the four wheels that drove the catcher trap had various horizontal rectangular shaped bands all over for rough off-road terrain, like mountainous and snowy based regions. Both the spherical caps of this trap had slots for the wing and for the tail, there was a raised bar on the left and a rectangular board for pushing the catcher, the rest of the trap didn't have much changed. Everything's the same with the exception of being on wheels, although... if the Night Fury slammed his wing down on the stake hard enough; it would release the top halves and slide the doors open. Finally, should Toothless get trapped in this trap in a situation regarding Drago Bludvist attacking; be well advised he knows more than one way out of a trap like this

Drago's Traps
...
The Nadder Nabber or as Drayko classified this one as the Nadder Whipper was a trap built to subdue the tails of the dragons of the same name, as well as Razorwhips, Whispering and the Screaming Deaths due to all four dragons having spine shot abilities to fire from their tails. It had a lower quarter half octagonal shaped bar with a bronze half trapezoid shaped talon going out on all three sides in total which was the front, the diagonal corner and the vertical side; there were also three horizontal wooden plank sides that went upwards forming a rectangle shape while the diagonal corner formed a bottom sided vertical trapezoid, wide at the bottom as it then went narrow at the top as both farthest sides were bordered off with a backward slanted bar on either side of the two legs of this trap at the front. The top edge of this trap followed it in the same way as the farthest vertical side had two conical studded spikes spaced out by six squares apart, the diagonal corner was also a square shape that had a single spike and so was the frontal one that also had one single spike facing outward; all four were small to fit into a design like this. Atop of them came the dual studded rectangular plated bars that are studded on the bottom to the top, segmented into three as the third one at the top curved upwards to the right side and so did the other one into each other; studded two times at the middle part. The front of the rectangular standing leg had a metal square plate with the right side having a vertical trio of three conical spikes, while the middle had a long one that went forward and as such slanting upwards like a wing tip; which looks like a horizontal flipped upper quarter half shaped octagonal bar that was spiked at the actual tip itself. The inward slanted plating went upwards as it continued that way with a slightly inward slanted single corner studded plating like previously below it, going on up with another and straightly horizontal and forward rest of the way as the corner that was diagonally going upwards was a rectangular brick which was also studded a single time on either side of the left to right; in the middle was a square brick studded in the middle too, following that is a longer rectangular single studded on both the farthest left to right and another that had a sharp inward slanted edge as the wing's edge. On the bottom slanted diagonally downwards two times with two separate rectangular bricks, as the bottom was a little bit nearly slanted back into a straight line but still tilted as to say; only then it sharply went downwards with a rectangular brick laying atop of the right sided corner as all of them were studded on one side and another, all being apart of the two border sides. The body was a half inverted trapezoid on the right bordered off by the triangular single bolt studded plating that was spaced out by five inches from each other going all around until the border vanished behind the wing to leg structure, that was just one half of the body with the second slanting downward at the end with two conical spikes on the top and three below as it dived sharply downwards to form a inward slant; the bottom of the body was horizontally straight across but hidden in between the two legs to talons and wings forming a unseen but obvious upward slant underneath the body, like the soft underbelly of the dragon it's based off from. The leg on either side had two small conical vertical spikes spaced out within three inches from one another and a large round disc on top, overlaid with a cylindrical shaped peg that stuck outwards on either side. The raised frontal sided rectangular frame had wheels on the left to right side that were rectangular brick laid with evenly open spaces in between all of the, a four-sided rectangular cog in the center with a octagonal shaped rim that went into the stout conical spike that stuck a little bit out but was still flat nonetheless and a raised end on either side which was slanted a little bit up backwards and then went straight into a kind of rectangular plated shape on either side. Both of them had at least three holed rectangular metallic edges on either side spaced out by five inches in between one another, the front of the first one had a forward slanted rectangular block that went diagonally upwards with two conical spikes on either side followed by a single bolted stud on the front and back side from on top. The two rectangular plated edges on the back in the middle was for the thirteen chain wrapped winch that was raised off the ground, fitted into a comfortable position and for the neck it consisted of seven segmented rectangular bricks which went straight before sloping upwards and forward by one vertical brick; studded along the edges of the top to bottom as well as having horizontally outward facing triangular single bolted studs on the top to bottom from either side. The first brick was slanted inwards to the body, the second was even more so as it started to slope upwards, the third was tilted diagonally up with the fourth to fifth of them appearing thin and thick respectively; the sixth one was thick at the top but narrow at the bottom with the seventh to eighth ones sloping a little up and going forward again, all of them doign so respectively for each segment as if it were a serpent's body. The upper head of the trap had a crown of two tall diagonally left to right conical spikes up front and three in the back behind it, the rectangular plating was not studded on the edges but had the thickest one at the back slanting upward at the left which then formed a back-and-forth outward to inward dome shaped waving curve pattern on the bottom as they slanted inwards to each other onto the top of the head itself; the two cracks went downwards to form the first two into an pair of identical plates, two of them had short conical spikes atop of each other as well. The front of the head featured a triangular shaped shell for the face as the top curved up and backwards to form the nasal spike, even with two inward oval shaped dents for the nostrils of the snout and as for the eyes; it consisted of a metal cylindrical peg with a light tan colored smaller peg as the secondary ring and a lighter silver peg in the center of it all for the pupil of the eye. It's back of the mouth had a rectangular slit for closing itself with the lower jaw being aligned in a series of five squares on the top edge all with conical tipped spikes on the top and larger but flat ones on the outer facing sides, while the next three had no spikes on the top but went on with three more flat outer side facing spikes; the lower jaw was made of dark grey wood for the first three studded lower half circular shaped bangles below the thick part of the jaw and a lighter wood for the last studded bangle in the middle of the thinner part of the jaw that is able to close itself by shifting upwards. The tail in the back slanted upward a little as the first three inches were bare while the rest up to the inverted triangular shaped prisim tail tip was adorned with forward facing scalene triangular shaped spikes, having a pair of them from on the top to the sides and a single pair on the bottom; all made up of four for all four sides and near the tip of the tail had a medium length chain that connected to a six window grate, that had four hinges and four downward facing upper quarter half shaped rounded fang tips from either side. The hinges themselves were cylindrical caps that had three inches of space right in between all four of them from the bottom to the top, amounting to three in total. Now as for the winch's chain it went into the underbelly of the trap, diagonally going upwards into it which then came out along the rectangular space in between the four spikes below to form a ring that connected to the six window grate itself on the end. A third wheel based on those at the back was found in the bottom center as did two of the inner wheels which were bare and looked like it was studded all around. The bottom in the back of the talons had a lower case Y-letter shape acting as support for both corners while the middle had a single horizontal bar, and two vertical bars on either side of the front. Finally, how this trap worked was that when a Nadder was close it spun around to fling the grate onto the nasal horn; snapping right back into it's original place where the Nadder's tail was then clasped by the two jaws in between, subduing it from shooting spikes from it's thorn adorned tail altogether
The Zipplecatcher was among the five traps of Drago's Army that shot out grappling hooks to latch onto the necks of Zipplebacks all around, sporting an anchor that dropped them over to the earth; preventing them from escaping as no one can outrun this madgod's campaign. The sides were made of twenty four separate smoothed out iron plates as they went under the five vertical rectangular bar grate that had two horizontal studded bars going across from the top to the bottom sides respectively. The back that went upwards formed an forward face triangular serrated shaped tail that went straight as there was no serrations on the back, they were all smooth downwards as the tail itself that held the rope for the twin vertical ballistas at the front slanted a little bit inwards; that one was a single wooden beam that was clasped in a rectangular iron block that was also smoothed out with a small horizontal one that was on the bottom, dual studded and atop of a square with two iron strips on either side in between the dual wheels in the center back of it all. The top also had a horizontal iron brick laid atop as well as having the middle filled a vertical facing brick as well, in between that one happened to be a pair of upward facing hooks that went backwards forming a inverted scalene traingle shape on either side. On the back of this tail was a ring where the rope was attached to the back of the twin vertical left to right sided ballistas as mentioned earlier before, downwards along the wooden beam on the back was also three conical spikes underneath the iron brick; the necks of either head was straped with four dual studded bangles was from shortest at the top to longest at the bottom. The heads of this trap started out slanting upwards at the back as it then sloped up and forwards into a rounder shape, forming inward flipped L-letter shape undercut as the jaw was a lower quarter half to a spherical shape barbed in conical spikes that went outwards on the top edge to underneath the front; three for the former and four for the underside of the rounded jaw itself that had a vertical edge on the back of it. The nasal horn's a thin upward curving rectangular shaped iron tusk that curved backwards at the tip, doubled-spikes with conical spikes that were studded in the middle in between the top to bottom; the eyes on either side were diamond shaped with diamond carved spirals for the pupils. There's two large rectangular four-ribbed on the frontal side clasped wooden wheels on the back, it's even got three sledding blades with the back side curving upward into a flat horizontal top as well as it's frontal side curving upward into a sharp narrow crescent bladed edge; all from on the left to the middle and to the right sides respectively. At the near tips there were a pair of smaller sized wheels that had the rectangular iron bars clasping all of them, evenly spaced in between each of them as well as a four-sided cross for the round disc in the middle; in which also has a smaller disc in the center of them as well as for both these wheels and the two that were in the back, all bottom sides of the rectangular bricks were studded with a single bolt. It had a horizontal bar underneath with two hinges on either side, iron studded in between the stout rounded edge trapezoid cone that went outwards and a wooden cylinder in the center. Also on the bottom front was a horizontal bar that had a four-studded rectangular iron plate connecting both necks with a four-corner studded square plate next to it, having a vertically medium sized fitted ring to the front since these were the kind of traps that armored dragons alike brought onto the battlefield. Above them was an vertical rectangular brick in the middle that had a near upward slanted top, both sides featured a thick cylinder next to the border in the center with a thinner one on the farthest sides as the inner sides were segmented with a number of square links leaving a inward square in between each of them; both sides were all shaped like a rounded trapezoid conical shape as the opposite side was smooth, and both of these cylinders had nine ropes wrapped around the winch as the tenth one went upwards to the bottom in between the vertical left to right ballistas. The horizontal rectangular platings with four studs across the top to bottom for each of them on the farthest sides had a handle bar that also went across the middle of both plates, the rope going through the center and as either side of the necks had there were four-cornered studded square plates with rings that hung from the middle; another pair of large four-cornered studded square plates were found underneath the ballistas themselves with two bows next to each other going around a hinge facing outwards towards each other, capped off at the rounded trapzoid shaped disc tip that's facing both of each other on either side. The rings were also found behind next to the tail in the center too. The ballistas consisted of rectangular blocks that faced forwards, sloping from the back with two out and backward facing pegs as there were even square shaped blocks in front of them; studded on all four corners along with a iron studded bangle around that was what surrounded the pegs for the ballista's ropes to be coiled around and drawn backwards for priming the shots. The front of the ballistas were rounded hole barrels that shot out the anchors for the Zipplebacks to be weighed from the skies to the earth, a square plate that's got two flaps on either side for each of the two was surrounded by eight studs around the barrel's hole. Both the top to bottom ends were wrapped around with a rectangular front facing cylindrical tipped peg in the center for both of them, this trap had a iron dual handed handle in the center with a wooden one next to it up front; for drawing back to firing as well as swiveling up and downwards since the ballistas were individualized. Both heads appeared to go back and forth when moving since this trap was on wheels, and the anchors themselves appeared to be heavyweight four-ball anchoring restraining nets that caught the necks of the two-headed dragons that spat gas and sparks to create a explosive ambush tactic for it's prey. Finally, the Zipplecatcher was notable for taking down a rather evasive blue Blubberwing that had outmaneuvered some of the traps at close range; but that dragon's fate was sealed right then and there as soon as it was shot down or so Valka thought since the evasive blue dragon was taken down by a different trap, one with large wheels on either side and a dual ballista at the front which was handled by the Asiatic faction of Bludvist's Army
Nightmare Snuffers as Drayko classifies them as were built to extinguish the flame that come from the dragons of the same name but also deal in Zipplebacks who perform formations that consist of flaming ouroboros type wheels to knock out enemies alike, once the fires are done for a large grate flings over to trap them; though due to not being seen without it's grate at an closer viewpoint this will not be easy to describe. The body on a top-down position formed a coffin shape with an short and stout rectangular on top that sloped upward before going back down to form the tail which went up and back down again in a diamond shape which is like an sword but with no fuller because there's no such purpose to add one onto one like that. Next to each other on the back was a line of upward curving flame shaped spikes that went from a short to taller size, four on each side for the left to right sides to be exact with a single row of three of them going down before another four went downwards at the tail since they stop at the near end; allowing for a space in between each of the two rows. Going outwards from at where the talons would be were two horizontal cylindrical bars going through to the middle, surrounded by a slight inward disc shaped thigh which then had a rectangular bar plated back wheel that was single studded in the middle for each of the plate all around; the middle had a inward rounded trapezoid disc along with a single rounded bolt in the core, surrounded by several bars that held the wheel itself together as supports but the single rounded bolts had appeared to be conical spikes given the off-road traction that it needs to move onto the field where a battle is taking place in. At the front was a forwards slanted trapezoid wall with two upward curving horns on both sides, in front of the sides were two rectangular upwards and forward facing cylindrical shaped tubes with six triangular spikes that shot outwards with the bottom being coiled in chains; the lower strip was studded while the top was smooth and the whole body was separated with rectangular plating spaced out indivitually between one and the other. The front had two diagonal facing middle studded armored plates that're sloping downwards to either side as the center of it had two rectangular iron bars which appeared to form a upper half circular shape, the middle having a round disc with the core being a round studded bolt for the hinges; the top went back and upwards before going straight at the end, studded along the Nightmare's neck with five large studded bolts as the center even went up to the lower jaw of the beast's iron casted head. Four horns on the back of the head that were twisted, going backwards as they slanted down a little before going straight with an edge that went slightly upwards at the near ending point. Pyramid shaped diamond spikes for the eyes that stuck outward while the upper maw being a trapezoid shape with the front beaking out, the lower jaw itself hinged at the end of either side of the lips had two large fangs that were at the front on the bottom; slanting forward and backwards as the upper maw went outwards a little more than the lower jaw, half opened even as the top even had a small nasal horn that went backwards in the middle. Also underneath the jaw was an thin lower and wide quarter-half spherical shape that was supported by the middle bar as mentioned earlier, which is also where the two forked horns came from in the back of it; behind the neck was the same spinal horns that went down along with a row of three on either sides though it was hard to see due to the grate being in the way. On the bottom studded strips of the cylindrical tubes happened to be a turning wheel that stuck out on either side, wooden disc with a flat iron disc laid atop of that one along with ten to eleven bars for grasping to turn the wheels for; now it's time for the grate itself but first come the hinges which was a thick cylinder shaped bar that's gone on through the middle, bordered off with disc shaped cap and a rectangular bar that an iron disc on the end that was rounded with the core being in the shape of a rounded trapezoid going outwards. The top of the bars had three claws lunging outwards and the wooden frame itself slanting inwards to the sides of the middle, straight down to the front where both ends went downwards like a pair of singular claws; the iron clawed frames went from the front towards back going straight outwards at first before sloping downwards as the frontal and back ones were zigzagged like a lightning bolt, the horizontal bar that ran through went down before going upward and down into a straight horizontal bar that then went back upwards from the left to right sides respectively. The tips of the claws for each one went straightly downwards with the third one having a scalene triangular shape at the bottom that sat on the ground, it's other ones continued down with a rectangular tip with the second to last forming a outwards facing scalene triangle that went inwards towards the bottom and the last one going out and downwards respectively; on either side of the inner cylindrical tubes there was a rope that's connected to the inner left to right sides from the inner jaw itself, as they shot out a grapple to reel in the dragon and the other for flinging the grate overhead with a snapping slam of the iron cage that had six horizontal bars going across with four on the back and two at the front forming a rounded clasping shape even. The middle of the two at the front had a rectangular brick going across, with the back forming an downwards beaking shape in the middle and the corner of the left forming an extra frontal claw to make two of them. At the front are at least two horizontal rectangular barred wheels spaced out in between each of them, matching the ones in the back without the conical spikes this time and the center rim going a little inwards; iron bars all around with a rounded trapezoid in the center and the rounded stud at the core. The arms at the front did retract before snapping the grate overhead to extinguish the fires and trap the uroboros formation Zipplebacks and firejacketed Nightmares underneath. Finally, the Nightmare Snuffer pinned down an dragon long enough to be taken back aboard one of the vessels of Drago's Armada that severely outnumbers that of Dagur's
Gronckle Cannons were fashioned after the Boulder Class dragons themselves because who else could they be fashioned off of? Needless to say, there was a large studded wood nasal horn on the front that was sloping upwards before curving down where the smaller studding continued; next to the brow on either side as the eye was a darker color with a single slit that was in the center vertically, leaning on the shade of steel to midnight blue even. On the ends on either side on top of the brows above there were triangular pieces acting as the rapid flap ears, except for the fact that these were solid and tilted backwards because of the brow that sloped overhead on the eyes of either side. The head was two halves of a spherical shape as the top had both eyes jut upwards, along with a rounded edge nasal horn like bump since the fangs were lined with wood on the top to bottom edges; the fangs being shaped like vertical trapezoids that were aligned with a single inch of space in between for closing both jaws very perfectly. The lower jaw had large studded rounded surface bolts with the second tooth from the sides in front of the first having a trapezoid plate lined up perfectly, singled bolted in the bottom center; the jaw was also hinged on the cheeks with a round disc on the bottom and an medium sized one in the center of that one. The tongue that stuck out was an half-pipe shape as the inner scoop was raised to form a lower half circular shape bordered by two rectangular bars on either side of the outer tongue; three of them spaced in between as the front side is shrunken down while sloping off the edge at the tip, forked with two rounded sides as well. The back went backwards before slanting downwards, sloping at the near end to form the tail where the two wheels were at the back; the top was single studded with a large rounded bolt at the back of the neck with both sides slanting downward to have six bumps on either side in which the near bottom of the back had some sort of ring. As both plates were studded both in the inner to outer sides, the ring shape in the back of this cannon had both sides align with an pair of bars on the left to right sides; the round shape beginning in the middle before sloping downwards at the back which will be explained in no time. The studded iron bangle went on the middle before sloping down on either side, overlaying the middle studded iron strip that coiled all around the ring shape that smooth at the front while studded in the back; both from the left to the right were two small dual vertical studded iron strips that met up in the middle of where the ring was. The ring's wooden structure curved downwards with two bars going on through with the top going straight before sloping upwards, and the bottom bar curving up as well as sloping a little more upward before going downward on the other side; that's where a vertical bar similar to the one at the front curved up and inward into the bottom of the ring as did the rest of the three other bars. The back studded iron bangle was the same as the one up front but with a single rounded large bolt in the center, as both ends met to form one whole bar that was also aligned with the single large rounded bolt in the middle three times; as for the bottom inside the wooden bar net was the half-pipe slide that held the iron cannonballs, studded on all corners with one that went above and the other that went around; splitting in half where there were two chains that connected to each other, allowing them to anchor the Gronckles and others to the earth with spinning chains like a bola launcher. The back wheel's hinge was a solid iron ribbed horizontal cylindrical shape, ribbed five times across with even amount of space in between each of them. The sides of the bottom had rope running along with a rectangular wooden plate in front of the back wheels, having a bar wrapped twice in two ropes on the top to bottom as if they were handles meant to move this trap given that it was portable. Now then for the wheels themselves and about time too since these ones are doubled up front while singular in the back but all of them shared the same design. There are about four frontal wheels as each of them were dual laid on either side, the center of each of them had a inner square dented link bordered on both the top to bottom sides; the rim of the wheels sported evenly spaced out scalene triangular shaped serrations for off-road coverage in the battlefield. The outer plating of the wheels consisted of square segments with a large rounded stud in the center to having nothing before going back to the former in a pattern, it had a line of smaller studded bolts aligned the borders for the ones that had nothing from on the center; the lower left to right and bottom sides had rectangular segments which had dual rounded studs and a square link on the lowest corners. The inner wood was an pale tan color aligned with slightly smaller but still large rounded studs all around the large conical spike of which lunged outward in the main center, the back wheels were singular as mentioned since they had more of the same except the outer plating was not made of square segments; it was all smooth aligned with studs on the upper to lower sides with seven large rounded studs on the inner wooden wheel, also having a large conical spike that lunged outwards and even the forward scalene triangular shaped serrations that were raised. The hinges that connected all four of the wheels on the front and the two at the back consisted of one single horizontal to cylindrical shaped round and solid bar for raising and lowering, the battle at Valka's Sanctuary proves that these traps can strafe sideways or more specifically; a line of them at the front as well as the back can strafe side by side in order to hit their targeted Nadder that is dodging all firepower from them down below. Finally, the Gronckle Cannons weren't the only cannons of Drago's Army because there was indeed a larger version meant for striking directly against all of that ice that fortified the White King's oasis lair

Drago's Siege Weapons
...
Drago's Scorpio as it will be named since smaller ballistas like these are mounted turrets can be found on fortress walls belonging to the Romans, as well as a little more lighter featured two large wheels on both sides of a large square base that it was built upon; the back had an vertically rectangular board which was tipped off with a large forward facing upper quarter-half spherical shaped stopper, as that made the wheeled boltcaster tilt upward. It's a small weapon after all as the front of this weapon had a medium sized vertical facing block on top, above that were two more horizontal plates and a third small vertical block that all spearbolts are loaded into. As with all ballistas there were three heavy bowlimbs that were drawn back to the maximum distance, as well as a wheeled lever that required the slam of a war hammer down onto the pressure plate that released the locked lever and shot the spearbolt forwards toward the dragon that was targeted; but not to look too redundant there were two small and vertically forward facing blocks on the bottom of where the bolts were loaded into, for better aiming of course. Finally, Stormfly was shot by this various times but too bad she's too fast to actually have the projectiles impact against her soft underbelly; even then this is one Drago's less harmful siege weapons used for capturing dragons, easy to destroy too with one blast of the Zippleback gas provided by Barf that's been sparked by Belch respectively
Drago's Siege Cannon was aptly named for the fact that this was among one of the two most sought after weapons that Drayko could never get his hands on, the second one being a tri-shot ballista that also belonged to Drago Bludvist and Bludvist's Army as a whole so let's get started shall we because this one is a walking load of details to describe here. The armored front side of this had both sides go downwards to form a trapezoid which then split off into two directions to the left and right sides, evidenced by the two stripes from the two sides that went upwards to form a triangular shaped arrow leading upwards directly right from the bottom tips; both of them were studded along the top to bottom sides which had an vertical square plate with a equally vertical ring that went out towards each other since this is another one of those weapons for the dragons to bring onto the battlefield. Another upwards pointed arrow was found above studded from the left to the top to the right side respectively as it was then bordered off with a horizontal strip, both up and outward five vertical studded strips had a square plate with a ring that faced forwards; having a large one that hung on both sides even since this was mainly supports for the actual cannon in the middle. At the tip from either side there was a rounded studded wooden wheel that held the center stripe of it all as well as the bottom having a small horizontal cylindrical bar that ran through, having an thicker cylindrical shape that was then attached to the actual large wheels themselves. The large frontal wheels was wooden with a iron rim in the center having a flat to studded conical spike in the center, each of the seven sides was clasped with a strip that consisted of a rectangular shape that covered the top before going downwards thinning out like a vertical trapezoid as there were dual studs on either side of the top; with two more in the top middle that each had a triangular shaped barb on either side of the top to bottom sides, it was then it continued downwards with a third triangular barb near the tip of them each for all seven that was counted. These seven strips were found in between three rounded studs all around from the thick wooden wheels on either side and the same was for the back wheels with no other differences except for the smaller size, which was to be expected as such. The supports that held the cannon's barrel up front near the tip. It was triangular tipped oval shape which had a clawtip shape that went downwards on the front right to front left sides respectively when it was viewed at either side, the top of that in the center was a large disc that had a smaller one at the core laid atop of a dividing line between the left to right sides; the left side was one in which it had three upward spikes that then continued upwards into a upper left curving fang shape, which then curved back down to form a spike and then another one that went right to a smaller one on the bottom that also went right but both of them went upwards too which it then curved back into the rounded shape on the bottom. The bottom right had an extending claw made of two upward triangular shapes with the third going downwards near the hooked tip that had a pointed serration next to it as well, although the top claw that curved upwards and to the left side at the tip was a separate piece of it's own hence the U-letter shaped crack seen above the dividing line. The base of this cannon was a one-sided trapezoid that went upwards into a rectangle that then sloped sharply forwards before it curved down backwards and down forwards again so it can form that inward beaking shape as seen on both the left to the front and to the back sides altogether. Both sides of the iron strips that led up were studded all the way towards the tip as the backside was made of a wooden ramp that fitted inside perfectly, though the sides are blocked by the two larger wheels at the front and at the back arching up and backwards was a wooden rectangular beam pegged with six outward facing square pegs; the square plating on all three sides from the left to front to right had a single studded bolt on the left to right sides while also having one at the bottom with another square plate that went all on three sides at the front. The lowest of the base had a horizontal stout and square shaped rectangular block that was studded from along both sides all the way to the top except for the bottom line, the two bars that also went aligned with the frontal six-square pegged bar had a horizontal wood plate laid atop of it as well as a round studded disc that had a large rounded studded bolt that was in the middle; in between both of them on either side were square segmented cylinders acting as winches that had square shaped gaps in between each of them, bordered off by the small and narrow upper quarter half spherical wooden wall that was in between the winches and the outer walls themselves. On the bottom of the back that was shaped like a inverted to stout trapezoid there were similar square plates with rings that hung on the back, there was even a vertical iron studded striped rectangular shaped platform that went out backwards as it featured upper-half spherical bordered wall on either side of the dual gears that ran along the cylindrical bar running through the center of them both; it had a rounded top rectangular board on top of the walls too as well while the bottom of the back sported a type of sideways ribbed chained winch like it was meant to work with the vertical square pegged dual gears on top, and the bottom for each of the two rectangular rounded top borders had an studded iron clasp around both of them as either side of the quarter half borders also had a disc laid right in between the two backward slanted bars to throw that one out there. There were at least more square pegs for raising or lowering the cannon of course as another one to throw along out there. The wheels on either side of the winch had eight bars that stuck out for easy grasps to turn with a iron disc in the center as well as a small rounded dome shaped core of it all. The head of the cannon had an horizontal upper half cylindrical shape facing forwards just as the nostrils were single curled on either side, the lips were bordered as they curved upward into a small tip on the top while having round solid disc shaped hinge on either side which is the lower lip that was formed; both the upper maw to lower jaw sloped towards the top and towards the bottom like a smooth scooping shape for the cannonballs to exit out efficiently. The top to bottom fangs were backwards curving waving flame shaped teeth that had a pair of large ones at the back, the second to last ones curving out backwards longer and the last one curving back upwards the shortest as the rest of the bottom fangs were taller but went shorter at the edge of the jaw's left to right sides; the upper fangs were all small and never had any variants as such. The top of the face at the back was another horizontal cylindrical bar that went across as both sides had dual ringed eyes with inward scooped pupils, behind both of them were four wavy flame like spikes and laid underneath them were seven more wavy flame like spikes. Atop of the head were two trapezoids facing forward, curving outwards as they then curved back inwards and down before going up and curving outwards at the top as both of them were shorter than the bottom ones. Aligned atop in the middle of the head as well as the snout behind the nose was a line of small backwards curving spines that were like curved scallop shaped blades for catching bladed weapons, there were four of them that are on the bridge. The back of the two sickle curving horns was an three pointed upper quarter-half spherical rectangular shape, on either side were two of the similar scallop blades that's got a downward scoop on the back as the front ones sloped upwards and the head itself was bordered off with a thick smooth iron clasping ring; both the gaps had a inward curving dome shape as well that curved upwards to form a straight horizontal border. There was a engraved darker colored large scrollwork that consisted of three up and forward curving foliage which faced the thick stripe in the center, two upward barbs with a curled tip at the top while there happened to be a inward curving and swooshing foliage that met up into the front of the neck itself; the bottom foliage had a bottom stripe that curved downwards to the bottom while it's main stem curved up and backwards into the three tails with the top waving a little bit, while the middle sloped forward and the bottom curved horizontally upward into an arching shape. The rest of the cannon barrel had five scallop blades with the second blade at the back having a downward scoop on the back like before, the rest curving up and forwards towards the back and having a short cylindrical shape which had a rounded dome hatch; a hinge on the back as it flipped upwards which was shaped like a backwards slanting rounded tipped border that's on either side having a split horizontal bolt in the center for both of them on either side, the middle had two rings bordering the larger middle one. The rounded dome hatch was studded around the edge as the handle with a rounded oval shaped border between the two sides of the forward square shaped handle which was a darker color than the one in the back, it had a second thick rectangular stripe that went around the bottom of the body as the back ended in a rounded dome shaped cap for the tail which went outwards a little bit; the rim was studded all around and in between was the same as the rest of the cannon barrel in terms of size as it was a slight bit smaller than the head up front which gave it a seamless look, along from both sides was a line that started out straight before sloping down into a lower half horizontal oval shape before sloping back upwards again as it then went straight for the rest of the way even curving up a little at the cannon's front shoulders and underneath it at the start was a smaller horizontal slash as seen on either side. Another thing to throw out there if it's not mentioned before was that at the top was a square brick which had a cylinder winch in between both of it's square plates that had a rounded studded rim disc on either side in the middle, even the top and bottom had a iron strip that went around on the top to bottom sides all in the same; though it this was established before then it shouldn't be a detriment to what is and what is not being described here. Finally, these cannons were among the various artillery that's laid siege to the ice built and barbed fortress that is Valka's Sanctuary; and one that Drayko sought after alongside Bludvist's Tri-Ballista for the artillery that's being taken by them once Drago is defeated for the final time but we'll get to that one as soon as we crossed that bridge
Bludvist's Tri-Ballista was a vertical facing thick and stout rectangular frame with iron banded wheels on either side on the front and at the back, having a round disc on top that was large; with cylindrical bars that stuck out for the army to rotate the siege engine around. There was a studded bangle wrapped stone square shaped counterweighted rock on the back to pivot it up and downwards for better aiming to shoot those dragons down. The back also featured an rectangular platform to stand on, connected by a vertical scalene triangular shape that had it's slanted side facing towards the platform while the flat side was connected to the upper left-quarter half shape that was then apart of the rounded trapezoid shaped cap in the middle of the whole machine; acting as the main platform to where the other three operators that had this machine's vertically situated and individualized three crossbows at their hands. The three crossbows on the other hand consisted of dual bows on either side, with a cannon that's right in the center where the two bows on either side also had flat conical round spikes that were both in the center lined up perfectly; bridged together with a round overarching clasp that's also studded with flat vertical rectangular plates on the front. Each of the three are loaded in with bola restraining nets to fire up at the dragons, primed back and set into place just like an actual crossbow would be before firing with a lever; and on closer look the platforms for each of the three crossbow operators were on top of them behind but they did indeed use a lever to launch the bola restraining nets. The base for the three crossbows were forward one-sided inverted trapezoids that had a large rounded bolt on either side for the hinges, the bars that's slanted upwards on either side had four spikes adorned on the front and the backside of each one consisted of a rectangular base that faced forwards; filled in with one in the middle with a studded iron plating ahead of them as the slingshot based catapult mechanism that are in the center of all three were found on the sides, not to mention the upward slanted bars on either side also went a little bit forward and the bottom of each of them had a small round plated bolt connecting to a square block on the bottom center for all three crossbows. The vertical crossbows were drawn back as evidenced by the rectangular slit as the ropes drew back both tips on the top to bottom, which were iron plated looking like a claw to talon as well as the mechanism itself went diagonally upwards towards the middle forming a kind of vertical border on either side that also had circular scooped slots for the bola nets to be fitted into; appearing like short overarching hooks to keep them secured as the catch is also drawn back like the three bowstrings themselves. This weapon had downward sloping blades on the front of the bottom as well and in front of the counterweight but behind the three crossbows, there was a chained winch with both sides having vertical thin borders as the inner side had rectangular bars in between each of the square shaped gaps; the chains themselves wrapped around ten times in a perfect horizontal cylinder, the counterweight was also strapped over and under as well as having two horizontal bars on either side with the wooden beams going forward. A inner beam continued where the outer one stopped halfway forward, clasped in a pair by two iron single bolted band on either side of the outer wheels of the chain winches of the like; where there were two cylinders with holed centers as well on either side in front of the outer wooden beam; in front of the chain winch was a smaller cylinder that had two other forward facing flat pointed conical spikes on either side up against the square to rectangular shaped boards of the first crossbow in the center. The three horizontal situated planks atop acting as the platforms featured a standing vertical bar on the back with a horizontal one that went through the bottom of the equal length U-letter shaped horns above the former, as the mechanism for launching the bola nets featured two rectangular beams going forward with a square pommel in the back that had a slightly upwards fang on the left for the left square and right for the right square; the tips for both of them were downwards slanted top sides as they formed a short horizontal side on inner left to right sides before going straight on the bottom with both top sides having a rectangular shaped slitted slot. Furthermore into detail was that the bottom formed a one-sided trapezoid with the left side curving upwards, forming into an triangular pointed shape in the center as it then formed into a horizontal rectangular tip from on the top; the plating being a left one-sided trapezoid that formed into a rectangular shape, and the bottom in between both of them was a horizontal plate that held the bola nets which also helped in shooting them down. Finally, this was one of those weapons that were carried onto the battlefield by the armored Thunderclaws and lesser Firefangs of Drago Bludvist like the traps and machines which were built
Slavic Ground Bringers slung out a single ring with two chains connecting to it on either side, tipped off with half-circular shaped rings that spun vertically which came out in pairs for the siege engines for taking down dragons; the power of these traps are strengthened when it's all lined up with various others of it's own kind to shoot down dragons that were up close as well as closing in for the kill. The projectiles that are slung out vertically were also tipped off in large counter-facing fang shaped hooks on the top to bottom, and had a third one that was also slung out alongside the pair when looked at for a better perspective. In the back are two large wheels that had thirteen vertical rectangular shaped bars that were all around the thick circular rim itself, with thirteen accompanying inverted triangular shaped narrow holes as it's right in between each of them as the round circular disc in the center featured a peg and the basis of the surrounding rim itself was the sun symbol as seen on an few chestplates worn by the men of Drago's Army. Four large triangular spikes on all four sides and a matching smaller pair spikes that were facing both up and downwards in between them both, the front wheels were smaller than the ones in the back as the rim pattern was different; consisted of upward-facing triangular shapes evenly spaced in between by three spaces as they went all around, at least two of them on all four sides were close to each other. The back side was a rectangular-frame that went vertically forwards and a cylindrical horizontal beam going across the middle acting as the splitting line between the front and back sides respectively, furthermore is that the back side itself had two raised triangular boards that were horizontal and had an flat side on the bottom; the upper iron tip was studded and the boards in front of them were made of rounded tipped rectangular vertical planks that were bolted at the top, accounting to five in total for each of them. A medium sized horizontal rounded beam went across the two upper tips as the front had a bow with two ropes that met up into the center ring at the front, as it's connected a second ring with two more ropes forming a V-letter shape up against an rounded horizontal beam above a thicker one below it; the frontal side was also a half triangular board that faced upwards with the flat side being laid below as this time on both sides, there were two either sided studded metal rectangular bangles that went above in a parallel fashion and overhead to the other side which is where the two horizontal beams were connected against. The inner frontal side was a vertical rectangular shape with inward slanted edges on top as it then went around the front across horizontally, the vertically upward slanting tip on the top's covered by a studded bangle around the bottom as the tip itself was a backwards rectangular that slanted over to the back behind the frontal armored plating; the tip itself had a medium sized ribbed edge on the bottom alongside two backward curving inverted fang shapes that were studded in the middle of them, the cap had a horizontal top with it's left slanting down alongside it's right side all with a small rounded pegged hinge in the center. Also up in front of either side at the closest corner of the horizontal edged top of the inner frontal side was a triangular tip, having a small ribbed line on the bottom edge while going upwards to which it was thinned out being in front of the hinged supports on either side standing near the frontal right side of the wheel that flung the three to two hook tipped chained projectiles forward. It had a round studded disc laid on either side of the middle and the wheel was rounded on the frontal side, with the actual front being covered by a cheese block shaped cover thanks to the round disc on either side which held the pegs themselves; the wheel was dual edged and it's also ribbed horizontally in the middle downwards while the back had four triangular serrated teeth that went diagonally downwards towards the back of the frame, having three hook and chained projectiles hanging from the top as the farthest right was the highest while the left is the lowest that hung. Oh and the other side of the plate in front had a trapezoid shape as the top side was facing it, studded vertically four times on either side of the frontal plate just to throw that one out there along with the entire wheel itself being small bordered. The outer plating was a scalene triangular shape that had a flat right side and an slanted left side that went forwards, the edges on either side consisted of three inch spaced out sideway facing triangular shaped teeth that went upwards towards the square shaped top; the lower right corner was studded three times diagonally upwards along with having an small ribbed edge. The lower side of the outer plating were narrowly slanted downwards, forming a kind of upper forward edge that was capped off with another small ribbed edge; the tip itself is a rounded inverted trapezoid that went forward as it was thickest in the back but narrow as it reached the front, the tip itself was a sharp edged diamond shape that was curved upwards. The bottom of the outer plating were fang shaped platings that were dual holed for the first two and three holed for the third one in the farthest right side, the rest of the sides following the front includes were made of horizontal rectangular shaped wooden planks; the center of the outer plating also went straight down as it was shaped like a downwards triangle with the center sporting a Firefang's skull up front, the top edge in the front was the same as the ones on the sides as they were spaced out by two times and the triangular single studded shapes pointing downwards all around the inward slanted outer plating of the frontal side. On the upper left there was a plate that held the ropes with a peg for the skull up front, the lower left side of the right had a fang shaped spike that stuck outward and the front of both of the left to right sides had upward curving outward sticking fang shaped spikes; and the triangular teeth edged borders also went overhead to the other side at the front as well leading upward to the top edge as a whole. Both of the lower upward curving tips had four downward-facing spikes and the skull looped both underneath the ear hole handles before going through both of the eyes themselves. Both sides were painted white with the crest of the Conqueror itself, and as for the ropes attached to the plating along with the mechanism in the back; it's apart of some drawings from the outpost at Drago's Campsite in the northern ice lagoon. Finally, it was slightly inward dented on the front as it looked straight and the whole shape on the left to right sides were simply straightened out upward facing scalene triangular borders; left at the front is slanted and the right on the back is straight, that's all there needs to be said about this particular one or at least the rope of the skull was connected to the front of a unseen bolt but nevertheless this one was pretty unique looking altogether. Otherwise known as Darko Ground Bringers due to being developed by Darko's faction which was of the Slavic faction of Drago's Army
Asiatic Dual-Bow Ballistas were traps that like the Tri-Shot Ballistas, utilized a rail that held an restraining net designed to become tighter with each struggle that the dragons captured have made; with two bows that were slanted diagonally up towards the skies to draw back the net and sling it forward so it can break away and entangle the dragons that were targeted. A pair of large wheels at the front of the chassis of this wheeled dual-bow ballista be overlaid with a number of eight specific iron strips that went around, as they started out straight enough but started to slope to the left and right sides on the dividing horizontal line between; while the diagonal facing iron strips faced the opposite sides respectively as only the vertical ones that went up and down on the top to right sloped to the left and the right respectively. Now as for the upper to lower diagonal ones, they sloped away from each other as there was three from the top to bottom; and one on either side as the horizontal strips curved into a circular shape that went into a lower half spherical shape to be exact. The starting of the strips that all went to the center disc started out with two outward facing narrow crescent shapes as the left and right sides had a single on each, going down to the curving sides was downward curving side triangular shaped tips that amounted to three that reached the center of the outward edged disc; the three stacked tips curved downward to barb out to the sides before going back up to the rectangular strip that then formed the next one below it as these overlapped atop of the near center of the disc. The outward conical and stout spike that sprouted out to the side had four to five studded bolts around the eight overlapping strips, as the circular rim around the large wheel was of a evened size which was medium and the front of the wheel to each strip were six flat but outward facing cylindrical frontal facing studs. The back wheels is all smooth with the rim that stuck out at the bottom edge of the scalene triangular shaped base that this was built atop of was a horizontal cylindrical shaped bar, that had eight small studs that went all around the stout and conical spike that went outwards. The base that this dual-ballista was built on was a scalene triangular shape that faced the left side, though the front had a inward curving side in the middle while the back of this base had a outward facing platform where an eight rope thread coiled winch stood atop of; having a horizontal rectangular base that it was on as the wheels on either side were circular shaped rims that had eight bars all around from either side. It stood at the front of the ballista atop of the ten horizontal wooden planks that went outwards to the back, both the front and the back sides had long triangular strips which were facing towards each other at the tips though the front was longer than the ones that are at the back. The base continued with the back wheels having a lower half spherical shape on the bottom center in the back of them, with the stubs on the farthest right side being square and across from one side to the other was a rectangular half on top while the bottom was an open gap; continuing to have the medium sized borders on all four sides of the upward slant of a square shape that was on the back which was due to both sides of the front splitting into a vertically rectangular shaped gap in between the two bows that drew back the loaded shot. The front of the base on the bottom sides of the left to right was a inward facing rectangular shaped vertical facing plate that curved upwards as both bars on either side went diagonally outward, slanted out forwards to form a inverted scalene triangular shaped base for the bows acting as the wide and horizontal rectangular shaped beams that were tilted a little bit up; as it can be seen at the front in between both of the ballista's bows which will all be explained as it's expected to be for this machine of warfare. The sides in between the front wheels had smooth plating on the bottom with the middle had a ribbed line that beaked upwards from at the front along with the one at the top which only had one line at the sides, on top of the one in the middle is five studs that were aligned at the front of the wheel's horizontal left facing overlapping barbed strip; the bottom edged strip went along with four at the front and six for the rest of the aligned studs in between the large bolted stud underneath each of the upper facing narrow crescent shape found along the front all the way towards the back of itself, this is of Asiatic origin after all. The lower front had near offward pointing edges as the upper side had eleven studded bolts on the upper beaking tip of the lower edged strip on either side, as the tip of that featured a dual stacked horizontal lower side beaking fang shape that formed a triangular shaped tip with the rest of the middle forming a slightly outward facing sword face edge that sloped inward on the left to right sides; the second upwards beaking strip also had six studs but this time going up along the bottom edge which had a large single studded bolt on the center of either side, and the top was the same as before with both sides having one side in the shape of horizontal fangs that sloped downwards to either side with a triangular shaped tip leading to the vertically rectangular shaped gap that went outwards. Both sides at either side that were acting as the supports for the horizontal bars that had the bows at both front sides had a line of eight large studs that went upwards, not to mention that the outward facing platform at the back had a forward slanting inverted trapezoid structure underneath it. The front of the platform on the back on either of the left and right sides had four sawblade-like cogs with right side facing scalene triangular shaped serrations on the edges of all four of them side-by-side, in between the two horizontal rectangular beams that went up and out to the front where another four sawblades happened to be situated in the back of the two bows as the bars featured a single horizontal strip going across the front of the other two pairs; the sides had another pair of eleven studded dual strips which came out like this: the bottom for these pairs on either side started out with a backwards hooking shape that then went up and forward before going backwards at the top, both sides had dual scalene triangular shapes on the top to bottom sides with the center being a vertical rectangular strip that then went up to the sides with two more dual scalene triangular shapes on either sides; the top then had both pairs go across to the center with the same dual scalene triangular shapes this time having an triangular shaped tip at the top of each one, though it was nearly at the middle but it's never the more specific in these details for such a trap. The wide rectangular boards acting as those supports for the bows then had a second strip going across near the tips, with the outer sides going upwards before curving off into square shaped stubs like a Roman numeral which was flat on the inner sides; the outer tips being a slight inward slant as the whole horizontal bar across was studded on the edges nine times on the inner sides, having three small studs in between four larger ones at the front with two more on the farthest left to right sides with the round disc in the middle having eleven along the upper to lower sides, and with a single large studded bolt on the left to right sides that split the upper to lower studs on the top and the bottom. The bowlimbs on the top to bottom were straight as the upper to lower tips have a downward curving square plate that curved forward a little bit before going a little bit down inwards for a short bit, being separated from that was a dual vertical studded square plate of which had a horizontal ring that kept the bowstring from the top to bottom drawn backwards for priming the shot to fire; the top to bottom halves of the bowlimbs had seven thin threads wrapped around to form a square shape and the discs in the center had a stout, short conical spike that stuck outwards a little. Atop and underneath the bowlimbs of the center disc both had a curving scalene shape that led downwards into a thin three studded strip with which was tipped off by two outward curving horizontal fang shapes, that of which had the bottom beak upwards into a sloped edged triangular shape. Underneath the horizontal overlapping strips of the large frontal wheels were two pyramid shaped underarm, upwards curving tusks that were tilted into diamond positions and were short as well though of course the upper to lower strips on top were situated near the outer side tips of the boards; and the middle of all that in front of the sawblades were three vertical facing boards acting as the rails for shooting the nets that were fired upon release. The bowstrings were drawn back on the outer sides of the back sawblades which were kept secured as the back curved upwards with a four studded across horizontal bar on top, having a pair of lower half circular single studded shapes on the left to right sides for each one as the lower half was shielded underneath the back facing bars and the inner sides had a single upwards slanting wooden bar that went up; both sides of the four sawblades had ten studs around and a circular shaped beam in the middle that stuck out, then again the wooden bar going up on the inner sides actually appeared to be more akin for being the drawback ropes on the winch in the back of the center. Both of them slanted off to the sides like a inverted vertical trapezoid shape with a wide top and narrow bottom edge to be exact. One more thing to be mentioned is that the sawblades in the back on either side were covered with tall, vertical situated and iron-edged boxes which does not hinder the drawback power of these artillery machines against dragons that oppose Drago. Finally, these Asiatic Dual-Shot Ballista traps could be seen atop the main deck of The Conqueror; and across the battlefields that dragons had brought onto, several of these were armed in the several outposts that were stationed in further locations of the Barbaric Archipelago's darkest shadows
Sami Net Slingers were net launching sleds that shot them overhead with the skis under the two sides sloping up forwards, beaking into a upper half spherical shaped cap at the tips from either side of the front as they curved up and inwards before going a little out for which both formed a slight inward tilted triangular shape; sloping up and backwards into a upwards fang shape on both sides. The front board of the sled across followed the same suite albeit it had stopped at the halfway section of the inverted fang shapes on either side, with it slanting an little bit forward and on the bottom arching overhead a little bit across; forming a horizontal and short rectangular shaped gap in between the two vertical bars that slanted inward from the bottom to the top, which the two sides had a half-upward curve on the farthest sides so to speak. Four triangular shapes were aligned upwards along the lower and upper inwards-curving supports at the front with a thick log that had a conical triangular shaped spike from either side, where near the ends of the stake next to each other because it was both short as it was stout as the back side curved upwards with a diagonal slant before going a little bit out and then further backwards to the other side; next to each other were stout sized stumps of which went up and offward to either side forming a backwards curving V-letter shape, that'll be explained separately as it started out thick at the bottom before thinning out at the top of the left to right sides. Going offwards on both sides with the start were stout as they thinned when they curved upwards before it went a little bit forward all in the same, sloping upward diagonally at the upper ends on the bottom ends while the next two on top just sloped up to the top upwards; the halfway point curving to the upper point and having a opposing slant of which that went downwards at the upper two branches that stuck out on either sides. At the front of the left to right were small U-letter shaped inward branches where the four circular-vertically oval shaped bulbous knobs, and at the top of both the left to right had hook shaped tips that was both short and curved overhead forwards with tips themselves going downward a little bit; formed in vertical rectangular shaped stubs for flinging the net towards the dragon with four squares downward from largest to smallest on all eight sides as the middle was in a circular shaped hole. Because the stake in the middle formed a inverted vertical trapezoid of such in the middle of the front, the top edge on the right had a little outward bump that then had the entire back form into a inward slanted scalene triangular shape that went downwards and the lower back had a circular sloping curved ramp on the bottom which supported it all; it had a flat and wide horizontal series of five planks that reached the other side, aligned on the other side of the frontal skis that curved upwards at the tips of the left and right respectively. Both sides of the skies had a line of bars forming backward slanting squares all facing towards the back, the tip of the floor on the back supported by both skis formed a slight inward curve that then went forward to slope upwards into a inverted fang shape like on the front but it is taller this time around; also on the back were two cylindrical rods that went upwards from on the slope forming a rectangular shaped gap in between while the rope winch that happened to be a horizontal cylindrical shape was supported in the middle, having a round ring on both sides while sporting eight handles all around for turning back the rope that held the slinging arm back to be primed for firing. At the start of the front side to this modular trapezoid body there was a short cylindrical shaped bar sticking out on either side, having a outlined ring all around it as rope was wrapped around it acting like a winch and also clasped with a bangle of which had seven handles this time; sticking outwards from the bottom side atop the first bar that formed a diagonal slant to create the first square on either side of the skis, there was an second bar that went out and upwards to a cylindrical bar that looked like it was made for the oars of a trireme type ship. The tips were wrapped in bandages for added grip in pushing it at the front and the back sides as the rest of the gap was covered by a platform, consisiting of at least fourteen rounded tip horizontal planks that looked vertical when looked at from an side view; from the winches at the front came a line of rope that went upwards towards a ring that protruded from the sides, the rope looping through downwards with a diagonal slant that had came in with a inverted trapezoid shaped gap in between that's wide on top yet little narrow on the bottom. The sides had details such as a upper half circular shaped cap from the lower bottom that also formed a larger gap on the bottom of the three large triangles which all of them went across to the other side, having a circular dot in the middle while bordered from all around as this also had a line of five studs across the middle triangle's left to right edges on the bottom border; the top of the back was a lower half rounded gap which is where the circular shaped board kept the center of the net in place for slinging forward when fired and had a hole on either side of the V-letter inverted trapezoid shape where the ropes from the upper inner hooks kept the net secured, pulling it downwards to sling farther to the dragons who stayed out of it's area of range to capture them. The four to six triangular spikes on the front of the skies to the body had spirals on either side, the sides of the upper front also had a horizontal triangular border that was flipped vertically and the front of it all not only had an striped border with five to six triangles stacked atop each other's tips on the top; but also had a single circular dot in the middle for each of them as this pattern was situated in the middle. The skies were were also armored on the bottom to increase height though the upper parts to which were shorter than the base and some variants swapped the front for the back, with the front of which having that arrow from a specific Dragon Trapper's sail found on one of the ships; furthermore the front of the short cylindrical bar also had one in the back on the same level and was there for holding onto when carried onto the battlefield. Finally, the branches that slung the net forward was in a cyan color while the whole trap was a light cream tan and the triangular designs were outlined in a heritage red color; the base of the skis were brown as were the borders on the sides of the upper left to right front inverted fang shaped tips, and this wasn't the only net slinging trap that was created by the Sami faction of the army led by Drago
The second Sami Net Slinger was smaller compared to it's original artillery size but was still a sled all in the same, the skis that tread the ground with dual tracks it left behind are from the two sides of the left to right; the bars this time were wavy and formed alternating upper and lower sloping circular shapes for the top to bottom respectively, the tips at the front and back both had a inverted triangular shaped gap for the forked look though the front ones of which curved up and offwards to the left and right sides. The body was a inverted trapezoid as both the front to the back had the sides curve down inwards to each other, as the top edge had an overarching upper half circular shaped stripe that beaked downwards as underneath the four at the front was a single circular dot situated underneath the tips; eight more of the dots can be found on either side as the body slanted backwards and the front atop of the body had an half triangular shape facing forward, beaking towards the battlefield that this sled is brought onto as all four sides of the front were inward inverted triangular domical shapes as the two sides went outwards. The back stood with an vertically sharpened tipped stake as there was even a horizontal dual sided spiked tipped stake was atop of the forward triangular half that beaked forth at the front, and below the spiked tip at the top of the round vertical cylinder; below the middle where the horizontal stake was happened to have three inverted triangles that were separated by one inch, and the bottom of the back side happened to have what is a inverted vertical trapezoid shaped gap at the start which then formed a upwards curve shape on either side, which then went straight up before going outward on the right side to allow a vertical ring on the stub which will be explained later on, while the top slanted upwards into a flat and thinned trapezoid shape that went to the straight left side as it all came full circle in the end. The surface had a trio of upwards beaking lines and also on the left was a ring which was vertically situated but didn't have a outward square stub, next to the two rings as they're horizontal on the left to right sides and looping through the two were two rods next to each other like the two rings as the two cylindrical bars curved upwards to the center in between the middle of the horizontal stake on either side where a X-letter shaped cross kept the two vertical bars secured; the top of the left to right sides started thickening out as the tips of the bars as the first tip slanted upwards before going downwards that then curved forward with a outwards slant, curving back down inwards as it then formed a thin tip which curved upwards and creating a diagonally downwards facing oval shaped cut at the farthest side of the second tip. In the middle of all that with two circular shaped tightened knot knobs on either sides, it had a thick and tightened solid thread of rope that was straightly horizontal across acting like a magonel-oranger type catapult; and behind the front vertical bar was the slinging arm that's coiled with rope around the base using three medium sized threads like a springald as it went overhead on the back, going four spaces outward where it then formed an lower half circular shaped hook. The start of the tip had a horizontal cylindrical clasp with the front of it having a vertical lower half circular shaped winch which had the left rope going diagonally upwards to it where the rope then goes straightly downwards to the back of the cylindrical shaped winch of rope, both sides having one sided triangular plates on both sides which faced backwards as with the rest of the back side with the front of the winch in the middle curving up and across to the other side to form a ring shape; having two circular discs next to the sides of the winch itself that had a single horizontal cylindrical shaped stub in the middle of either side. At least that's what those without clear sight wants the viewers to think as on closer inspection, it had the straight downwards rope actually go down to loop through the right shaped hook which it then made it to the front with a tilted formation like the left rope that was longer than on the right. If it weren't mentioned before then the left rope that slanted diagonally downwards is where it looped through the left vertical facing hook, going into the middle ring that's on the front of the winch of rope. In the middle of the tip which had two upward sloping barbs as it had one in the front and the second one at the end of the tip, having a oval shaped plate as it had a smaller oval shaped hole; facing forward were three inverted fang shaped barbs on the top and two longer ones on the bottom which curved offward, the bottom was a long rod and had a ring around it which was tilted upwards from the back. The rope went straight down to a larger ring that was still small but not as such, the bottom of the ring had three threads that went offward to the sides like a talon that had six overhead curving threads with the first five having short downwards curving clawtips while the upper three had upwards facing clawtips atop of the circular shaped bulbous weight balls underneath; the middle thread even had the clawtips go underneath them. At the back of either side were two cylindrical handles that the tips be wrapped in bandages amounting to seven segments at the tips, made for pushing the traps onto the battlefields. Finally, the Sami Net Slingers can be classified as the large artillery sled is Sami Net Slinger A and this smaller sled based one is Sami Net Slinger B; better convivence is the best that Drago can have for classifying these traps he uses for his limitless campaigns
Slavic Wheeled Ballistas were fascinating machines of war that featured a large singular wheel in the back that drove this forward onto the battlefields where dragons are anchored down to the earth, captured by nets and entangled back onto the ships to serve the madman who calls himself the Dragon God who alone controls them all with his Black King of a Bewilderbeast; it was another one of those unclassified along with the others before this junta of an army that is led under the united flag of Bludvist's Army. The base it was supported on started out with a lower half square shape made up of four horizontal boards going upwards to the front, and the sides of which in the middle curve up and offwards a little as the stubby square edge on either side was flattened at the top edges; as the back went straightly horizontal across from the left to the right, having a rounded edged on the outer sides of the iron plating at the tips. Two studded bolts on the top to bottom on the farthest left to the right sides which curved in along the two front and back sides, having a studded bolt on both sides at the outward facing sides which were bigger that were on the left to right; and at closer inspection the back didn't look horizontally flat at the back corners but rather slanted towards the middle. Along both of the sides of the base were eight spaces in between two triangular shapes that pointed up on the bottom, and down from the top which was also aligned with the ones on the top edge of which faced forward towards the other side of the top four vertical planks when looked at an sideway view; with a single studded bolt in the middle for each of the triangular platings that were found on both sides of this curving side coffin shaped base. At the front was where the smaller wheels had as a series of square plates with a singular circular studded bolt from the middle for each one on the surface alll around, both sides had four triangular plates all round the circular outward facing conical spike that stuck out as the triangular plates have vertically situated dual studded bolts on the top to bottom for each side; made of four vertical wooden planks that went across the faces of the wheels connected to a horizontal and cylindrical bar of which that helped move forward with portability for this machine of war. In front of those small wheels was a square block that had a singular spherical shaped studded bolt on both of the top to the side in the middle, going outwards at the front of the square shaped block was a rounded edged scalene triangular shape that had the top to the bottom have an downwards beaking V-letter shape that was stacked atop each other; like a strip of leather as it was made of a singular line that went down as if it were a looping conveyer belt, the tip at the bottom is also where the rounded edge was found and boarded in the middle so that a cylindrical bar in the middle could go across. This was also where a rope winch was found that was thick with a lashing of fifteen that formed the cylinder of vertical threads that faced towards the body of that which stood on the coffin shaped base, which there happened to be a stout horizontally rectangular shaped stout hole that was studded upwards with five round bolts on both sides; vertical rectangular plates as the top edge was thin and jutted out a little bit on the left to the right sides, the lower sides had two triangular barb plates in the middle as with the usual that had a singular round studded bolt in the middle. The body atop of the base happened to have a trapezoid body that went all the way towards the back where both ends reached the single large wheel behind in the middle of in between, twelve rectangular shaped seamless boards that slanted inward on either side as the right side had a inverted triangular shaped plate that had a circular rounded stud in the middle; going up to form a horizontal rectangular plate that also went up to form a regular triangular shape with three studded bolts on all three sides, of which a ring was in the middle where the top rope arched upwards and looped through going further up where looped backwards from the back of the vertical ballista's body and towards the upper arm which will be explained later on. In the middle of the sides next to the jutting edges there was a pair of scalene triangular shapes that were outlined on the sides, having a upwards rectangular strip in the middle that had a similarly triangular single studded tip that was featured on the top for both sides five spaces in between each other; while having three large studded bolts going downwards for both of them. Three inward vertical plates across on the left side happened to be a thick cylindrical bar which had a rounded edge at the start, five singular-in-the-middle studded triangular shapes that went all around from the bottom sides to the upper diagonal sides and at the top of it all; near the outer edge was clasped where it's adorned in eight cylindrical shaped handles for drawing back the side-ballista it will be called from now on due to the left side, oh and it's worth mentioning there's a circular cut that was underneath the top rounded edged border on top. The front of the vertical side-ballista had a smaller trapezoid shaped platform that was made up of ten planks with the sides and back all of which slanted inwards to each other, roofed with nine horizontal planks that were studded once on the left to right sides as the tenth walled plank on the back was small; but featured a up and backwards slanting rectangular cylindrical pillar which had a rounded edged ring that's around the bottom of the tip like a finger, having a down and inwards curving fat shaped fang that was behind the tip itself acting like support for the foot when firing the side-ballista. It's back side half trapezoid shape at the front that extended on the left side, having the front of which curve upward to the middle as both bowlimbs had a vertical rectangular shaped strip of which curved inward to itself on the top to bottom a little bit; the tips having a horizontal line of three studded bolts going across while the square tip on the top to bottom have an circular half cut that went up on the bottom and down on the top, a single stud on either side as well for that matter with three lashings at the near tips. The middle of the front featured a vertical rectangular plate with two large studded bolts at the top that went down and five single line V-letter shaped outlines that went across stacked atop of each other, the rectangular plate is double edged beaked forward a little both the top to the bottom edges had an upward facing fang shape on the top to downward facing fang shape on the bottom; with the middle side of in between having smaller studs going down each of the middle of those five V-letter shape outlines, and in between those horns on the top to bottom edges were outward facing barbs that were shaped like triangles as there was a small inner outline forming the same shape in the outer triangle itself. There were two ballista shots situated on the top to bottom from in between the middle triangular barbed shapes on either side, having a horizontal board that was situated in between as the two spearbolts were aligned with the top to bottom sides as well as having a large round bolt that was in the middle of either side; the entire left side has been raised up halfway to the lower edge of the middle triangular shaped tip in the middle in which it not only curved up and outward a little bit with a horizontal rectangular edge, but it's also got a flat rooftop where the nets were were fired since Drago is seeking to build an army of dragons given the context of his machines of war being created for capturing them. There's not a clear reference on how it was fired due to the left side not being seen fully from a view like this, but the best speculation is that there was a built-in rail catapult that launched those nets forward like the Tri-Shot Ballista and Asiatic Dual-Shot Ballistas in the middle on top; the back of the middle board had a vertical bow shape that curved up and downwards into a hook shaped tip that went inwards to itself allowing the ropes on the bottom to loop up to the top. On the back was a sidways trapezoid that was wide at the front while narrow at the back, this is where it formed a vertical rectangular shaped block was having two of it's horizontal plates that went on top and the bottom as there was a smaller one in the middle by one space that's near the edges; atop of that was another sideways trapezoid that's narrow on the front but it was wide at the back; it had a vertical rectangular shaped plate that beaked a little bit upward at the top but was flat on the bottom as both tips had a single studded bolt right in the center of the back, and both sides of the back for the hands had thick rectangular shaped handles for gripping both to fire the restraining nets as the handles were pulled backwards to release the drawback on the ballista net rails. New discoveries show that there was nothing on the back of the base as that was actually a inverted trapezoid shaped brick, with a rectangle atop of it on the outward facing edges as they had a horizontally situated vertically ribbed wheel that was in the middle of the top brick; it had a thick edge in front of it with forward facing plates that were triangular shaped and had a single studded bolt on all four sides of the beam that was in a square shape, near the end was a forward facing rectangular plate with half ring on top that then had had another thick square edge around it and a square shaped block which then formed a large downwards facing fang shaped tip. Those were pivotal supports that of course one guessed it: kept the ballista secured in place as they both went down diagonally slanted offward to the sides, and flipped straight up on either side thanks to the wheels on the back ends while the main feature of this was the large back wheel from behind facing in front of the machine of war so here we go. The back was split into two with a rectangular cut that went down to which there was a outlined plating all around the lower side, the two tips at the front on top were inverted half-trapezoids with four studs vertically on the back sides to having two at the top; and the middle featured a ringed border where a cylindrical shaped bar jutted outwards on either side with a circular ring on both sides of the respective faces as well. The large back wheel was ten vertical planks across which then had an surrounding ring while sporting fifteen vertical rectangular shaped studded strips that had five studded bolts going downwards on each one, with different perspectives showing at least three for at the lowest amount to five for the maximum for each plated strip; facing forward on the wheel is fifteen square platings that had three studded bolts going vertically downwards all around in this entire large wheel situated in the back, while the surrounding ring on both sides went all around and across the halfway points of the vertical studded strips themselves. Finally, this is where it came down to looking like that the way it's fired is that not only the net was shot out but the dragon would then be reeled in due to the rope winch being on the front; whichever is the case for this side-ballista worked in total this was a rather special looking ballista using one wheel in the back as the driving force in the name of the campaigns Bludvist's Army for Drago
Eret's Ballista was built off a round medium disc shaped turntable for rotation, to which the base of the portable weapon was a vertical rectangular board on the bottom with it's wheels being smooth studded horizontal rectangular plated bands across on all four sides; it's gotten good traction. The seat of which is mountable was a vertical rectangular bottom facing and as well trapezoid counterweight shaped seat with a backboard for support, with an actual one at the back which was vertically swivelable having the same shaped counterweight as this one's seat that could raise itself up and down; a scalene triangular shaped beam bolted with hinges on either side of the four ballistas on each one, vertical ballistas with the spearbolts which is ignited as well as loaded into the middle for each one of the four all around as the farthest of the four on the sides can turn horizontal or go upwards in near full motion control but cannot go down too low. The frontal ballista had a inverted U-letter shaped hook that kept both the left to right ones together for dual firing, also having a forward slanting board keeping and as well protecting the knees from behind; acting like a windshield kind of protection from when at close range. Both sides of the frontal ballistas had a peg on the farthest left to right sides as there's one for each of them, bolted with a round ring that leads to a slight drooping chain of such which was for the strong rope used for drawing back the limbs of the bows used for high powered shots from the ballista spearbolts as such. There were two top half square rings like a crossbow's cocking stirrup, pulling them back like a lever would fire them as they're primed again after being loaded. Finally, this ballista could fire all four at once for quadruple the shot in defending a Dragon Trapper fort as well as defending Draconia from aerial threats; be that it was the unrelenting forces of the Dragon Flyers or the hostilities of other dragons that have a bone to pick with Drayko, either way this was an weapon that Eret's known to resort to if it's to be used on the battlefield given it's mobile wheels since it could be steered to ride
The bottom horizontal rectangular bar that went across had two vertical rectangular platings as all four edges were studded on the corners, spaced out with a square on the farthest sides to a rectangular shaped gap in between the center of both sides; having a vertical one which went up atop of the first vertical plates as the studded bolts were bigger, this time having an vertical facing ring with three studded bolts on the farthest left side of the horizontal bar and on the farthest right side. There were two of those horizontal boards with a ring on the left to right sides as the boards on either side had a ridge in the middle, acting like the splitting line in between the two separate boards on the left to right sides respectively; there was even an third horizontal rectangular plate that was studded on both top sides on the inner left to right edges closest to the middle as a closer look indeed proved that there was a vertical line of tri-studded bolts on the farthest to closest sides on either side of the two boards themselves. In the middle of this siege engine was a vertical cylindrical shape as the bottom studded rim has a triangular shaped serration from the left to right side of the front, and the top having one as well but with a narrow spherical dome shaped cap atop; but the front half was shown since it had a front half cylindrical studded rim shaped basket which acted as the lower tip of the arm to both swing, and send the projectiles flying high and forward with whatever dragon's been struck by. The most common is a flaming horizontal large log that was spiked, being heavy to pin some dragons to the ground and other times act as a substitute for boulders as nets broke away to trap them but this is speculation after all. From the left to right side of the center are two up and forward facing octagonal shaped stakes that were thick stumps, before the equal shaped tips that slanted a little more downward but still facing up with the iron spikes having a thin lower border that was studded all around the lower rim on both stakes; two halves of a dragon skull were lashed on together for the upper jaw with eyes to the lower jaw with small fangs as the left was smoothed and the right had a backward overarching nasal horn, wrapped in rope on both the inner to outer sides for both of them. Both heads were stabbed on either side with matching dual swords that stuck out diagonally for the right skull, the left had both swords on the forward left side and on the back right side for the left skull; both stakes were cuffed in a thin but studded strip of iron that formed a rectangular gap all around on the top to bottom. The sides had a square five-studded plate on the bottom to the top as the lower middle even had a four-corner studded rectangular plate next to the bottom square, as the first panel with three vertical wooden planks had a studded square rim surrounding a down sloping horn which had three triangular upward beaking ridges facing the top rim; atop of it was a studded horizontal strip was above the lower center rectangular on the sides, the far edges had a single studded bolt while the ones next to them were dual studded and it can be said for the next one above though the farthest left to right side respectively to both panels were covered by a vertical plate that was studded three times. In between on the top and on the bottom were three separate cylindrical caps that had the middle studded across with at least three studs, the top and the bottom had one situated in the center as the outer facing inverted scalene triangular wooden planks amounting to six slanting upward from longest to shortest had two studs on each one; even having the top aligned with two studs on the lower edges, though the farthest ones had three and the fifth one had a single one on the right top corner. Across the hinges on the top to bottom was a top to bottom studded line also forming a downward slant, the back of the inverted scalene triangular shaped shields on the sides had three strips with one on the bottom to one in the middle and one slanting upwards on top. It had two vertical four-studded corner rectangular cuffs with wooden beams slanting an little bit backwards, as both of the tips had a slight inward slant all around with a thin border from on the bottom to a single large studded bolt on all four sides around; the tips also had down beaking triangular ridges which were sharply pointed at the tips, going across is a horizontal bar where the middle was cuffed with a horizontal iron rectangle that's also studded on all four corners from the front to the back side which the middle was all smooth for the arm to strike and send the heavy horizontal projectile log forward to anchor the dragons down to the earth like the Zipplecatcher does for that matter. Behind there were three horizontal boards with two upward facing flat topped scalene triangular shaped half trapezoids facing outward, two rope lashed wheels on the top from either side were found acting as the horizontal bar positioned hinge for this siege engine's swinging arm; the front on either sides also had the horizontal ring in the middle with two chains connected to two rings on either side running through the same ring at the same time on the left to right sides respectively, below that is two vertical facing beams with a horizontal bar up front and down in the back for supportive balance. Overall the frame looked like a forward facing vertical trapezoid that was narrow on the top to wide on the bottom, the borders on either side had two vertical rectangular shape tips that had two large studded bolts on the back and the front with a horizontal bar running across to the other side; same repeated to the front with three vertical studs on the farthest sides and having a rectangular shaped gap in between as the top also had a square plate that had one single studded bolt on top, with a equally square shaped gap on the bottom too. The swinging arm rested on the middle of the three vertical bars as the horizontal cylindrical clasp had a square plate on the back with a vertical ring in the center, an large chain was connected to it and through the horizontal ring on the back which was then wrapped around as part of an chained winch that was a horizontal cylindrical shape; the right side had a serrated wheel that was shaped like scalene triangular spikes with two iron rims sandwiching the iron spiked cog which was larger in shape, the wooden wheel on the back had a small rounded trapezoid disc around the sharp pointed four-sided triangular spike that faced outward which is the same as for the eight vertical handle chain winch wheel on the left side. The large wheels on the back had a eight-pointed conical shaped pointed star for the rim with fifteen surrounding studs all around the forward pointing conical spike in the center, the wooden wheel was segmented in between the iron conical spike studded plates to form the repeating pattern as the spikes amounted from two to four forming a trapezoid without the bottom; and the sides were also studded vertically amounting to four in total on the left to right side. The small front wheels consisted of horizontal iron blocks with a single stud on the middle center face of both sides with a thicker rim this time made of iron blocks that had two studs this time around, one on the left and one on the right as the center looked like a conical triangular pointing stake and surrounding it was eight vertical bars that also faced where the wheel was turning from atop of their top to bottom edges; on the right was a horizontal iron studded rim brick which had a vertical rectangular facing slit with a cylindrical handle lunging out diagonally as the top was lashed in coils of rope, though a slit of the top edge was not wrapped in rope however and it acted as sending the projectile forward. Finally, this was one of Drago's catapults that stood out from the other ones and was built by the Slavic faction of the army
The front of this machine of war was made up of inward slanted rectangular boards which had beaked forward a little bit, the middle of the front was a dual edged triangular shaped bar for which ran to the top as it then formed a triangular shaped tip; five square plates that went up as a studded bolt was on the center of either side of the left to the right, with a square gap in between each of them though the second one looked like it was a horizontal rectangular gap. Also on either side of the center bar that went up featured a upwards crescent shaped tip on either side from the top that went down to the halfway point, at least having five that's going up on both sides; and on the left to the right sides were two of each vertical bars that's going up with five studded bolts going up, the horizontal five bars that went from the top down to the bottom all five outward facing tips curve upwards a little bit on either side. The bottom's where there was a thick wooden plank that was vertically standing, going horizontally across as there were iron rectangular platings on the top to the bottom studded in between each of the square plates that were in between the two vertical studs; the inner ones that were next to the large one in the middle happened to have triangular tips that curved inward to the top, three vertical studs went up on either side as the thick horns were then were dual edged like blades. Flattened at the top that curved forward and up at the tips, the outer sides sloped an little more downward but then curved up at the ends with the triangular at the front barbing up at the middle of the vertical studded bars; the studs aligning with the middle of the horizontally situated bars which the gaps in between forming squares for this grate on the front. With the center horn curved downward into a forward triangular shape that curved up the most, which can be seen when looking at this machine of war along with the outer facing horns that were on the bottom edge at the front. Also at the front were two large vertical cylindrical bars that were clasped in iron with the top edge studded around at the bottom, leaving an short gap in between as the top of it then had a dual ringed clasp from the top edge; the tip continued up before curving out in the front forming a upper beaking tip on either side that was thick from the back side. Going across from the left to the right side was a upwards sloping square tip as it then had seven vertical lashings with a circular studded bolt in the center, sloping inwards a little before going straight as it then slanted a little bit upward to the front of underneath the up and forwards beaking tips; having two sideways situated pyramid shaped spikes from atop and the bottom to either side, going across was a rounded top as it featured an slight circular edge that were nearing the center with the bottom being straight a the center. At the center was a dual edged triangular barb at the middle that went down which was large at the bottom as two more were found on either side, both sides were medium sized as the single bolts on either side of the seven vertical lashings happened to have vertically situated rings from the back; both had ropes going downwards to the middle of the horizontal ring of the iron clasp which was a rectangular shape, nearing the bottom of the rounded edged border. The tip of the throwing arm was curved inward as the dual tips on either side form an vertical inverted trapezoid shaped cut in the middle that's wide at the top but narrow at the bottom, clasping the short conical triangular tipped stout sized stake as the middle was a vertical rectangular ring; studded with rounded spherical shaped bolts all around from the top to the bottom as from the front to the back, at the top to the bottom sides all round. The throwing arm had a vertical square shaped beam that slanted backwards in the middle, the bottom edge of the scooped dual pronged arm featured a inverted triangular shaped plate going downwards an little bit on all four sides of the arm; at the bottom of the short conical triangular capped log had a chain of eight links as the top of the bottom log that's evenly balanced to avoid tilting off balance to either side had a vertical ring, as that was how it was hung from under the arm. At the back of the front was a horizontal rectangular shaped body as the back slanted back in, the top edge happened to have a inverted triangular shaped barb in the middle of each space and gap of both the X-letter shaped studded rectangular plates; three of each on the left and the right sides of the body as the barbs went in the middle of the gap and intersecting points between each of the rectangular studded plates, and both at the bottom of the first as well as the third X-letter shape on the left to right sides there stood the large wheels that it stood on for portability. The large wheels happened to have a horizontal rectangular shaped plate that featured a downwards facing V-letter shaped pattern in the middle, three vertical studs that went up on either side of the left to the right; with an equally horizontal rectangular shaped gap that went inwards as the nine plates that went outwards which was the former happens to have vertical strips that went down to the center, a studded bolt at the top of each one as well as having a inner ring that went around the center which happened to be a conical spike in the middle. The inner ring of the large wheels of either side left a large radius around the large conical spike that stuck outwards a little bit, with the front of the large wheels also had a horizontal rectangular gap in between each of the square shaped gaps. Furthermore, from the back there doesn't seem to be anything that could be found due to the back side of this machine of war not being seen; but speculation is best to say that the heavy weighted net is primed to be launched further forwards like a trebuchet that this portable machine was built like, and it seems to be exactly what the whole siege weapon was supposed to act as. Finally, this was the second of Drago's catapults that stood out from the others as it too is built by the Slavic faction; being the long ranged one out of the two
This machine of war belonging to Drago Bludvist was one that didn't seem to be clear on what function it served on the battlefield, but the best place as always to start out with would be the wheels as there were at least two pairs of three wheels next to each other on either side from at the front to the back with one in the middle too; each of these amounted to six wheels that drove this siege weapon forward on the snow, with a even amount of space between the two wheels at the front to the middle and at the back side. Three vertical and wide wooden planks were on the outer faces with the frontal sides appearing to be a square block that faced where the machine was hauled onward to, each of the six wheels had vertical trapezoid shaped bars of which went across the front of every wheel in a horizontal rectangular bar; with the trapezoid shapes being the platings on either side as it was wide at the bottom and slightly narrow at the top, each of them were aligned across with either three or two conical shaped spikes as if it is meant to be brought to the rough terrain like mountain and snowy off-road regions. In between the six wheels on the left and on the right sides there were vertically standing horizontal boards that also went forward from the back underneath the base, the tips were at the front of both of these boards as they were rectangular shapes that had the ends slope downward into sharply ending tips at the bottom; the top and the bottom of both sides to these tips also had strips of which were not only rectangular but studded three times from the front to the back, leaving a single gap at the back end of these horizontal strips. Going across the front in between both of the former two was a horizontal square shaped rectangular beam, with a vertical three studded bar on both the left and right sides as there's even one in the middle; the top of the former that was explained in fact had a short inverted forward facing scalene triangular shaped barb which protruded from the edge a little bit. Atop of the wheels was a large disc shaped shield base of which was made of large and wide seven wooden planks that went across, the front which was the bottom and the back which was the top had a long rectangular plated strip that went across as that too was studded along the top to bottom edges respectively for both the front and the back sides; as the base looked like a shield it had a short cylindrical cap in the middle that was raised up to hold a smaller disc shaped shield on top, both the plated rims were smooth. The upper smaller disc shaped shield on top however had a number of outward protruding bars of which were cylindrical shaped, the space in between each of them were even with about twelve dots across for estimation purposes as like before it was a smooth rim but the bars started out with a horizontal cylindrical cap on the bottom before going out with four vertical lashings that came in the middle; ending off with a inwards diagonal striped pattern that was found on the equally similar cylindrical shaped cap, the top of the tips had a small circular shape from in the middle. At the top of the smooth rim were at least two rounded topped studded bolts that are near the outward rotating bars that spun around through manpower, three dots from the bars themselves on both the left and the right sides of course; there were at least three more wood planks than the bottom shield base that the six wheels supported from below. Around in the middle was a plated circular ring which covered half the small sized base, a rounded edged and slim upwards facing trapezoid that held the thicker vertical cylindrical shaped pillar which was in the center; both the left and the right sides had dual stacked horizontal rectangular blocks that were on the top as well as the bottom, both the dual stacked blocks were rounded edged. The front and the back had a vertical rectangular shaped plating studded with short stubby conical spikes going up, protruding out a little bit as they were situated in the middle of both of these blocks; the middle of the left and right sides in the middle had a four-cornered studded cylinder which had a outwards facing horizontal cylindrical shaped bar, having a clockwise facing scalene triangular tipped pulley wheel as the middle had a short cylindrical stub protruding out to both sides. It should be mentioned the scalene triangular shapes that ran through the holes that are in between the running chains for the pulley system were shaped after a upper sided quarter-half circular piece, spaced in between with a square shaped gap for every spike that's on there; the middle continued up with a smooth horizontal rectangular shaped stripe going around and a studded plated rim on the top while the stubs in the middle of the wheels had a bar that's going through diagonally from the lower left to the upper right side. Near the back of the dual stacked blocks there was a vertical plated strip that was the same as the ones at the front, as it could be seen next to the right side of the wheel's bar on both the left and right sides of course. As for what was supported above the pillar in the middle there was a horizontal plated edged board that went across, the two walls going up until they stopped in the dead center of the equally-horizontal cylindrical shaped bar that went across from one side to the other as the top for both sides were rounded edged; the walls even appeared to slant inward a bit at the bottom while having the same wheels at the top of both sides, that was where the chains ran overhead and underhand as the walls themselves were made of vertically situated wood planks. The center as it was explained before was a large cylindrical shape that ran across horizontally, to which all of it was studded sporadically from all over; with the upper back side being covered with a upper-right quarter half circular plate which was studded all over with square based spikes that curved wherever, as there are three with one on the left to one on the middle and one on the right as each of them had a small horizontal rectangular shaped plate in front of them each. Underneath there were thin and vertically forward facing iron borders with one at the left, one at the center and one at the right as all three curved from the overhead top down towards the horizontal like beam going across; with all three of the fang shaped downwards and slight inner curving fang-shaped spikes protruding through in between the first to second, third to fourth and the fourth to fifth upwards slanted rectangular blocks that went outward being studded twice from both sides although some of them had a single stud on both sides, which was apparent with the third and fourth blocks at the front. The horizontal beam even had a single on the left to right which can be seen on both the left and right faces, the bottom was a rectangular block that also went with the frontal blocks spiking outwards; aligned with the same singular stud at the front and at the back. The wooden beams that were supporting all this was smooth with a square clasp that went around, also with dual studs on the top to the bottom as after that were the inner hinges that pivoted up and down thanks to the large square shaped counterweight at the back; having a rectangular clasp at the front which appeared to be more like three thick vertical lashings as the back tip of them was clasped in iron, with two large studs on the left to right and having a square shaped gap of space in between both of them. Around the front of the square where the two beams are connected to happened to have a smooth horizontally rectangular banded rim which went around, it could even be seen on the back too; one more thing about the pulleys is that they appeared to have three studs on the bottom and three more in a reversed L-letter like shape at the top. A secondary variation did not use wheels on the bottom but rather tank based tracks as there was a large smooth wheel at the back ends connecting a horizontal bar across, a smaller wheel at the front ends of the actual front and back sides; the face of the tracks were of course studded with a large circular domical boss going down and overhead around, a variation like this did not have the blades at the front but other than that it was all the same. Finally, the purpose of this machine of war in Drago's Army is not clear but given the spikes on the back of which acts as a covering; it just might even be... some kind of trebuchet with the spikes acting to launch the net towards the dragons. Drayko is not sure, and neither is Drago's men who built this siege weapon; we are not certain at all in the slightest

Drago's War Sleds
...
Eret's Net Launcher sled had two narrow triangular shaped skis that had both sides of the tips curve upwards, even pivot downwards to set the trap in position on the front and the back of the sled respectively; near the flattened tip at the top had two vertical rectangular boards on both sides of the left to right. It supported the square shaped base which had also had an pair of at least one vertically rectangular board that stood out from both sides of the larger square body, or at least it was seen that way as the front had a horizontal rectangular block across as well as a upwards beaking and sloping top for the net to rest on; there was an circular shaped hinge on both sides which connected to the frame, that had a small U-letter shape under that went across to the other side. On top of those two circular hinges there was an vertical board which slanted up and backwards, a horizontal board went across leaving a open square space underneath and the rest of the large rectangular shaped gap as the top hinged bars appeared to slant a little more upwards; both tips at the uppermost top had that same slight overhead curving inverted fang shape as with the front of the skis, the ones on the back however also curved overhead but went backwards. At the bottom of the net launcher there two bars that stuck out and were a little more closer to the narrow triangular top, on both of the left to the right sides. Finally, these were scarce on the battlefield but were common on Dragon Trapper forts as whenever a dragon was shot down by a ballista; they would make sure they've got an nice landing in this net that was thrown overhead to trap them under, the net would be taken off and then the dragon would be brought down below for safekeepin' as the Trappers would say

Drago's Swords
...
This one handed voulge glaive was also used as an axe as they were thick and narrow single-sided half rounded tip rectangular cleaver blades that curved upwards, having dual cylindrical caps that secured the blade into place along with a wrapped handle for comfortable support in gripping the weapon with a hand; the caps themselves were on the top to bottom. As for the blade shape it started out small but widened off at the top forward and the bottom had appeared to thin out into a spike, at least that's what could be seen and best described as
This sword's blade was a thick moro kris shape that was a little wavy but nothing too special, it was sloping off the right side like a one barred crossguard and the handle was wrapped in leather bandages. As it was said before it was both wide and thick, but the cutting edges of the sort looked like that they can be indeed slice and dice; with a pointing tip like that on the otherhand this one looked like it was better for stabbing like a katana and a ninjato which is a straighter version of the former, used by ninjas while the former is used by samurai
This barbed sword's blade was made of a upper left side facing quarter half circular tip on the top as the rest of the gutting edge was straight down, at least with two triangular barbs which had a wide inverted trapezoid shaped gap act as the space in between the two barbs; from on the cutting edge there was a single backwards facing scalene triangular shaped barb and what looked like a second one behind it, albeit smaller as the tip fanged a little bit up and outward forwards like a scimitar. The handle was bandage wrapped and the pommel was an trapezoid that slanted down forwards a little, sloping up backwards with a single bolt on either side in the center. This one appeared to be based off sword used by Drago's Executioner
Yet another sword was a sickle that looked an awful like a khopesh having a bandaged handle as the pommel was a inverted trapezoid, the blade went straight up a little before narrowly it curved to form into a C-letter shape that had the tip also form into an rectangular shape as it's shooting out up and backwards
This next sword had a straight broadsword blade but also barbed two times with triangular shapes on the left cutting edge, having one on the bottom right gutting edge as this one is also another one that had a rectangular shaped hammerhead based tip that went downwards to the bottom left side; the D-guard of this weapon is a half-square shape that's barbed with two horizontal triangles facing each other on the top to bottom when looking at it with a kind of horizontal viewpoint, one of which barbed outwards at the middle as the back of the tip is a narrow rounded edge curved rectangle while the hammerhead tip itself is the top half of an sinbad scimitar altogether. All in all this might've been the same sword but nothing is clear as one weapon is similar to another one

Drago's Axes
...
This axe had a bandaged wrapped handle on the bottom for the first half as the second half is exposed in full on iron, the vertical cylindrical base at the top had one end sport a bearded-axe shaped pike which was a upwards facing scalene triangle; and the blade itself was also one in which it was inverted and facing out forwards with a curved backwards facing barb that's from the bottom, the top of it was attached to the base with a single square bridge as with the pike itself. But on closer look it had a ring pommel with a connecting staff on the bottom, with the top half also wrapped in bandages so it's more of a poleaxe then but it's seen in crowds so it's not so clear on what it is. Nevertheless, it shall be identified as a poleaxe
This next axe featured a square shaped pommel whose outer right edge sloped downwards as well as having a studded bolt in the center, shaped like the hoof of a horse which curved downwards at the back with a lower half spherical shaped crater as the handle was small as well as thin but still sturdy; two parallel threads were below followed by one that diagonally went upwards to the right, a reversed Z-letter shape atop the horizontal thread below it and two close ribbed threads above at the highest. The base at the top with a cylindrical cap on the tip had a diagonally downwards slanted edged heater shield shape with both axe blades starting out as small rectangular bars that went outwards on either side, forming an crescent cutting to chopping left to right circular half shape that was small; the front of these blades of the front and back on the rectangular shaped bridges had a oval knotwork engraved design as the tip for either side formed a horizontally outlined diamond that was situated in the center of the two blades. Now again this wasn't exclusive to Stoick unlike his third and main axe as it could also be seen with the Hooligans Tribe, same goes for his second axe that was a singular blade and looked like the ceremonial one used by the Jorgenson Clan except without all the details involved

Drago's Polearms
...
Bardiche with a upward barbing spike on the other side of the three triangular shaped serration that went outwards at the front, the backside going smoothly upwards before slanting diagonally downwards a little bit as it then curved overhead right before curving downward into a narrow inward crescent shape; going upwards and sloping downwards on the other side at the front and near the bottom, on the back were two upward curving spikes atop of each other with a square shaped gap in between for space between the two. And as for the pommel, it was a circular curving hook shape on the bottom that faced the right side of where the blade faced
Ranseur with both side blades going outward a little before curving up short as the middle blade was the longest one out of the three, not much to say about this one other than not having a pommel on the bottom
Guisarme with a sinbad scimitar blade for the tip as it was serrated with a trio of triangular teeth that went diagonally inwards on the gutting edge, going smoothly downwards all for a little bit before having one spike that beaked up and forwards as it then curved back down to the entire tip itself. The center was wrapped in horizontal ribbed bandages and the pommel at the bottom was a medium sized in between thin and thick small ring on the bottom
Voulge with the blade slanted upward a little on the bottom, narrowly curving up forwards before going upwards again to form a curving edge on top and then curving outwards over to the back side; where it then formed a straight inward curving edge that went straight down, connected to two horizontal bars on the top with a vertical rectangular gap in between both of them
Partisan with a tri-barbed circular harpoon tipped head whose tips slanted off to the sides diagonally upwards while curving into a bulbous shape, come to think of it the stave itself looked like a mancatcher to catch cavalry by the necks and dismount them off their horses forcefully
This polearm had two outward crescent blades connected to dual rectangular bars on either of the sides on the top to bottom, a long staff to wield with a short three triangular tip shape wavy flamberge blade tip on the top; a small leather skirt of tasseled strips that are leathery on the outside but roughly smooth on the inside, and three wrapped strips that then formed a Z-letter shape on top of that with dual strips above them. Best way to identify this one is to refer to it as a Qinglong Ji given the Asiatic elements that were seen in the polearm entirely
One variant of a sword used by Bludvist's men included the first that had a blackish brownish handle that was wrapped in horizontally flat ribbed bandages with a rectangular blade going upwards, as the crossguard formed was one sided that curved up and downward back into of itself; barbing backwards a little at the top before going forwards to beak down which it then curved back and out before going back again to barb forward one last time, in return it looked an awful lot like the upper top half of a valentine heart shape that acted as the serrated fang that went outwards though there was no pommel to be exact.
Another is the basic Gronckle Iron broadsword with nothing much to explain about it at all, the third was also made of the same material but it was based off the Dragon Hunters axe; the second axe was based off the one Stoick uses before his engraved one so nothing special there, the third axe however had a change in design which was single bladed with two bangles on the top to bottom as it also had an cylinder which held the backwards C-letter shaped axe blade so there's something to say about that one too as well as the fact that the blade had no gap either
Then there was a Gronckle Iron spear that had the usual spearhead with a short raised edge in the middle that divided both sides, but with two long to short upward flat crescent shaped spikes on either of the sides below it; followed by a bottom facing top-viewed scalene triangle on the front and to the back side respectively. Oh and the C-letter shaped axe blade from before? It only had a overhead curve on the top so the bottom stopped in a straight vertical rectangular shape, and the cylinder that held the blade appeared to have a rounded oval shape in the center; while the inner upper left side had a circular scoop that went downwards
This bill polearm consisted of a narrow C-letter crescent shaped bladed tip on the top which then has a horizontal pike across the bottom, the center sported a upwards facing crescent-shape as the highest tip had a left side facing slanted scalene triangular shaped tip on the top of it all. The pommel was a half ring hook on the bottom. (A/N: Jesus man, naming these polearms is getting to become ridiculous but everything is going and will be overcome soon enough)
...
Drago's Bows
...
The first bow had both tips slope upwards a little bit on the top to bottom sides, with both of them having dull and dark teal blue colored bandages wrapped in a vertical cylinder fashion; the other side of the tips also had one thorn that sloped upwards and downwards away from the other side, the bandage wrapped handle in the center had them slope forwards from on both up and downwards of the handle itself. Both of the thorns on the other side also had an bowstring connected to the farthest left side as part of the design. This one was seen from on the hands of the Dragon Trappers like the ones at Eret's Fort
The second bow had the slightly inward rounded curved handle have the top side slope down at first before going straight for a little while, forming a near inward slope as it reached the tip which was cast in shining iron; forming a thin claw to talon shaped cap where the tip on the absolute edge formed which also curled up and a little bit outwards with the bottom of the left side going a little bit downwards. The bottom of the bow on the other side from the handle sloped downwards too while curving upwards, also tipping off with the iron claw to talon shaped tip that went a little bit inwards before going out a little; the bowstring itself is attached to the bottom lines of the iron claw to talon shaped shining iron tips
The third bow looked similar to the Dragon Hunters and Defenders of the Wing, but they're not one of the same as the former had oxidized copper-dragon proof metal spikes while they had a identical design but without the red to yellow paint and used iron instead. This one had a inverted trapezoid shaped gap for the handle to account the space as either side consists of one side barbing out downwards a little to the left and right, curving overhead before turning to a slight oval shape in the middle that went diagonally up and downwards while beaking off into a fang to talon shaped tip on either side; both the larger spikes were shaped like forward facing scalene triangular tips as the slanted side was on the left while the flat side that went vertical was on the right. Two threads were wrapped around it to form a left facing triangular shape that was sideways as if it were a lesser-than symbol, the spike on the right was the one that had a greater-than symbol as there was also a second spike that went a little bit upwards like a spine forming a lesser-than symbol with the threads while also having a horizontal line on top of that; after that was a short barb on the bottom with one on the top as both limbs on the top to bottom in between the handle was thicker, the bowstring was straight as well as it being wrapped around the middle of both the tips. A little difference was that the top sloped a little bit down and forwards while the bottom went straight as if it were the horns based off a Zippleback, one head's got slight diagonally curving horns and one head has straight ones as the also can be said for Eret's Swords; one blade's got a reburb in the middle, the other was as straight as it could be. In between the bottom two spikes was an downwards facing triangular shape created by leather lashings as that's what this description means by threads
...
Drago's Shields
...
One was a heater shield that had a upper left diagonal oval shaped scoop on the front with a up and outer barbed spike that had a straight line across the top
The second was a diagonally outward slanted bottom tipped shield that formed a rounded triangular to cap on the top, having a shield boss in the middle as well
The third was a heater shield that had two rounded scoops on the upper left to right sides as well as having the top half form a slightly raised triangular shaped tip, with both sides slanting down inwards to form the circular scoops of either side; appearing like a nearly top flattened and squished as well inverted triangular shape
The fourth was a kite shield that both had it's bottom edges form downward facing scalene triangular shapes, including the middle as the top was rounded like a inverted teardrop and had a boss in the center
The fifth was a kite shield that was in the shape of a inverted teardrop but with two ends on the sides forming inverted triangular spikes at the tips, lacking the short middle one
The sixth was one half forming a rounded tipped on the top to bottom cylindrical half side on the left, while the right half's upper tip slanted downward along with the bottom tip slanting downwards as well as if the shield was shifting upwards from it's rectangular right half; with a boss in the center as to be expected. There's so many variables here when it comes to talking about what Drago's Army has in their arsenal
The seventh shield was also in a pointed inverted triangular shape with a boss in the middle, though this time around there was also a lower half circular cut shaped scoop on the top; so it was nothing special to say about this one
The eighth shield was a heater shield that was curved and beaking towards the middle on the bottom, as both the top sides had upward facing scalene triangular tips on the left to right so this was another one that there isn't really much to say about this one either
The ninth shield was a rectangular shaped one that had a little bit outward curved edges on the sides which formed a straight trapezoid shaped tip on the top, the bottom going across to the other side which also appeared to form an inverted trapezoid shape in the middle; this is the third of which that had nothing to say too much about as well. All basic and all surfaces on the front were smoothed out, although all three of these might be the same shields that are mentioned before as there was no clear distinction on which is which from before at first; as Bludvist's Army uses the same weapons as the Dragon Trappers but also have their own too
...
Drago's Helmets
...
This helmet had a golden striped rim around the bottom along with a nasal guard stripe in the center for the nose, both sides at the front of the golden nasal stripe branched offward to the other sides forming a Y-letter shape as the top of the helm was a rounded cylindrical spire in which there was an upwards facing crescent shape at the top acting as the tip. Around on the upper section of the helmet worn was a series of rounded studs where two of them are right next to the Y-shaped branches on the left to right sides, the sides and the back of the helmet also has three segmented overlaid leather rectangular rounded edged flaps to cover what is otherwise a non-ear protecting helmet that appears to be worn by the Sami faction that was in return one of the few in Drago's Army
This helmet matched the Crimson Goregutter based horns from Griselda the Grievous, one of Drago's three generals known as the Warlords and the most aggressive one out of the three; a pair of horns like these started out thin enough before widening out to curve upwards and of course back towards the middle to form a spire shaped gap like that topped roof of an Indian marble built mausoleum like the Taj Mahal, or like the Sultan's Palace from Agrabah and that other palace which originated from Destual Harzt in Saudi Arabia, otherwise known for being the birthplace of Raijah who became a vigilante whose motif was based upon the Nightmare who saved him from death at the claws of a Sand Wraith. At the tips that faced upwards they also had a oval scoop on the outer facing sides, the shape going downwards along the top as well as having only the darker silver edge with no other details than that; the front featured an rounded topped rectangle in the center with two horns that slanted inward when going upwards to the center above the rounded top of the bottom center; the tip of the helmet is shaped like a oval teardrop that was vertically ribbed and swirled as if it were a flame that is lit alive. This helmet also featured a blue colored white bordered flap around the ears to the back side all around and seeing that this was a lesser version to Griselda's helmet, it's best to assume that the wearer had Slavic origins involved given that she too is Slavic herself; it's just like how Chagatai Khan is Asiatic and Ragnar the Rock is Sami given their appearances
This third helmet had the leather sides that covered the back as well form dual outward and lower half spherical shaped scoops like it was a Roman's galea helmet, the lower front was a short edged visor based bill which then followed up on a rounded ribbed edge going around; the front of the helmet also featured a golden stripe that went upwards to form the spire as well as have the tip itself be shaped like a bull with two inner and upward curving longhorns as if the bull itself was a longhorn altogether
This fourth helmet was basic enough since it belonged to Ivar the Witless except for the little overlaid straight broadsword triangular tipped blade on the front that was small, having a pair of little bit upward slanted bars that had a inner facing scalene triangle as the lower border in order to have both sides go upwards; curving and sloping a little overhead to the other sides rather than going inward to the middle. It was a norman helmet that had a rectangular nasal guard along with a thin ribbed line on the bottom, the flaps on either side had three belts of which were laid atop of each other studded on the farthest left to right sides altogether and it left a small horizontal rectangular shape of space in between; the cylindrical shaped tip on the top was vertical along with having two blackish brownish colored feathers on either side, still standing on the same tip and never drooping backwards either
This fifth helmet was a norman helmet that was actually based off Ivar the Witless as this one not only had a single ribbed line around the rim, leather flaps around the ears to back which's studded sporadically like a Berserker Tribe Viking's vest; but also had a cylinder as the tip and a single yet still small blackish brownish feather that stood straight
This sixth helmet was a norman helmet that like Ivar the Witless it had the same features but this time, there were three blackish brownish feathers with two that slanted a little offwards to the sides but had one in the middle; all three of them were standing on the same tip
...
Drago's Dragon Armor
...
Thunderclaw Armor covered the horn on top with four vertical studs on the back from both of the sides, which then curved it's way downward to the front that stopped to go vertically low where the eye holes were which should be mentioned that there was a splitting line under it as well; the front beaked up with narrow rectangular oval capped nasal holes from either side to breathe through easier. At the front was two vertical rectangular bars that had an inverted up and inward curving fang shaped blade on the top to bottom leaving a square shaped gap in between, built for stabbing as well as slashing which also carried the thick crescent blade and dual triangular outward facing pyramid shaped spike variants as well to suit Drago's purposes. The side's cheek armor had a rectangular strip that beaked outward near the top with a pair of two studs on the top to bottom forming a square just underneath the slanted scalene triangle which had it's flat vertical edge go inward to itself, sloping downwards to the bottom that had another four studs forming a square but not as close as it was specifically on the top ones that were spaced out even more; ending with dual layered rectangular strips below it. The rest of the three strips in the back were dual edged on the furthest left with four studs on the top to two on the bottom which were larger, having a third ridge below the dual ones with leathery straps that went in between each of the three spikes on it's back; having a ring in between of the two sides as both of the starting points were short while on the other side they're longer to span the distance, same went for underneath the neck though the rings weren't seen and there doesn't seem to be a implication that they're there. Above the eye hole was a outward facing horizontal rectangle acting like the visor roof that though it went only halfway, it still worked out well for them especially for Bonesnarl who was ashamed of his own appearance that he didn't want his armor removed from him. Finally, this wasn't the only armor type for two of the more common armored dragons in Drago's junta of an aligned army
Firefang Armor curved up from the left to the right side in a rounded shape on top and had a vertical rectangular shape on the sides that also curved inward, large pyramid shaped spikes studded on either side with five along the top; the front acting like a helmet as the sides had a downward forwards slant with a single eye hole on either side and curving to the snout it's got a black nasal hole on either side of the dual studded top to bottom sided vertical curving thick crescent blade that went outward. A second variant of this had dual triangular pyramid shaped spikes going forward on the front from the top to the bottom in front of the snout, all for stabbing while the former was for slashing. Atop of the armor was a flattened rectangular shaped plate that went up at the bottom with the tip forming a triangular shape, the center of which formed a studded line which were larger than the smaller ones studded alongside the left to right edges; and the cheeks were dual studded with three vertical lines that were next to each other as the eyes also had rounded edged overhead roof visors, not to mention the sides as it was stated before were rectangular shapes that curved upward with a inwards slanted top to bottom and the vertical crescent blades had three vertical studs on both sides. Turned out there were three as the other two in the back had the same three pyramid spikes with two pairs of three lined studs on the top to bottom for each of the three side plates, the bottom side of the back cheek had a longer armor plate which in return had a rectangular gap that was rounded on top from the bottom in the middle; the bottom for the front side plates and the three in the back continued downwards with three evenly spaced vertical studs and of which were meant to cover the lower jaw on either side. Finally, the third variant of their frontal blade was the same as the Thunderclaw's given that while the armor remains fitting to their skeletons; their weapons of choice based on Drago's purpose for warfare were varied in laying siege and assaulting to all that stand in his warpath
...
Drago's Armada
...
Few ships have a overarching bowsprit adorned in spikes with the sides having two outward facing platforms, few ships have, like the first one mentioned before as seen in this frame, a four-sided inward slanted wall trapezoid shaped cabin but without the platforms and a ice ram to go with the spike adorned bowsprit; and few ships have the cabin be shaped into a upward horizontal trapezoid at the stern but lacking the ice ram on the bottom of the spike adorned bowsprit. Those selected few variations have at least one or two sails compared to The Conqueror flagship which can be seen on the upper right side
The dragon shaped figurehead on the prow of the bowsprit curved overhead before sloping downward into a downward facing spike, curving over to another spike that pointed back to the inner lower side of the bowsprit prow where it then formed a straight line going upwards which then slanted inwards; forming a horizontal wall that slanted a little bit outward before it went out forwards a little to the top before curving backwards into a nasal horn, forming an duo of two more backward curving spikes that went back a little bit before lunging forward to form the next spike with the third one curving up and back downwards into a larger spike. It's second spike then sloped backwards down before curving back into itself on the bottom and then sloping sharply down for the third spike, slanting upwards which then went down from a short bit; aligned with the start of the bottom line to the dragon figurehead on the bowsprit prow. There was a studded bolt on the bottom third spike and on the nasal horn with two on either side from the top to bottom corner edges of the first horizontal rectangular collar, it's vertical rectangular spinal cord curved alongside the bowsprit's prow a little bit forward and facing downward with a inverted triangular shaped tip on the bottom; two more horizontally rectangular shaped segments that were evenly spaced out with a rectangular shaped gap in between each of them. Both faces of the dragon figurehead on the bowsprit's prow had one shuriken inward shape that was four-pointed with the tips being shaped of in-and-outwards facing triangular tips on all four sides, aligned with each other from either side as well as the two of them having a single inward step to the solid core; both of them lied behind a forward facing scalene triangular shaped pair of eyes that slanted downwards as if this dragon was as menacing as it was swayed by the conqueror that sought to rise above all dragons here
Sails of Drago's Armada were all in a natural to fuscous and soya bean to dawn as well as a bud grey color from the battered remains that stained the raised seamless diamond texture cloth, to some of the lighter colors that could be found here that were darkest to lightest: fuscous to natural, soya bean to dawn and bud grey as the first three were actually the grime from all of the battles that this alliance of the north participated in; as well as the damage that was given upon those who refused to join on board with Drago's campaign to rise above dragons so they would no longer live in fear, an junta built on his vendetta that was more akin to his madness no less such as ashes to weathering that was hard on the large one armed man of a god. From all around the surrounding edges were a counted fifty-five squares that were the same color as the sail, four rectangular edges with the upper ones not having their lower front quarters and the same for the lower ones not having their upper front quarter halves which were all missing; with a square shaped cut on all four corners and fifty-four colored squares that are in-between the same colored squares from both the top to the bottom borders which both went horizontally across. The left and the right vertical borders on the otherhand had a line of thirty-nine sail colored squares with a counted thirty-eight colored squares for both sides. Facing inwards from the top and the bottom corners were arrows made up of a vertical line that went up for the top arrows which then formed a horizontal line atop of that, the inner corners having a gap between the two circular halves that were formed of the right for the vertical line and the lower half for the top one underneath; in the middle of both circular-halves there was a line that curved outwards towards the same point on the lower right to left and upper right to left corners that formed together into a thin oval shaped tip, which was facing all four of the corners at the top and at the bottom. All of the borders surrounding the crest were in a taupe brown color
The crest was a Monstrous Nightmare head being stabbed through with a sword from the top to the bottom, as the snout curved up on either side diagonally as it formed a slight narrowed upper-half scalene triangular shaped cut on the lower tips to the inverted teardrop halves on both sides whose top sides curved upwards to the lower right to left diagonal round halves to which resembled the eyes of the dragon; the lower horn tilted upwards a little before the tip sharpened out diagonally as the bottom looked like the upper quarter half of a circular shape, hence why the oval protrusion stuck out a little on the other side and the tip curved inward a little before forming that shape, with a slight horizontal bottom line underneath the circular quarter half shape that also slanted with the outer sides of the horns of the left to right. The upper horns slanted a little more upwards and curved with the same tip as the lower horns as well as having the same protruding rounded half shape on the bottom, the tip curving inward before going up and outward a little which was more noticeable at the top of them all; the gap above the snout and above the eyes were a mondo brown color while the outlined halves of the head were a zeus brown color, same goes for the center piercing sword which was what's causing both sides to slant slightly off to either side due to the wide starting of the blade that stabbed down across to the bottom. The starting pommel of the sword was a triangular tip as underneath there were two circular cuts that went inwards to the middle before shaping the handle into a oval shape, the crossguard slanting a little upwards with the tips of either sides being horizontal scalene triangular shapes that tilted downwards to the blade on the bottom; started out wide enough before it thinned out into a rectangular shape with a lower half and whatnot diamond shaped tip, the fuller was a thin slit that was also went down halfway right before becoming thinner to the point where it couldn't be seen as well without a close up to the blade. Not only was the blade the same zeus brown color and the thin fuller happened to be the same color as the background, but this wasn't the only crest that featured the sword as well for that matter. Finally, this was an absolute red flag to Valka and Cloudjumper as there's no good that comes from who commanded the vessels bearing this symbol
Drago's Ships all had rectangular tips as both sides at the front to the back were spiked with rectangular shaped, triangular tipped spikes as the left was tilted upright and the right went straight for the second row and the top went back to the front and back sides; each one had a vertical rectangular plate as the spikes were situated in the center to every one of them, the top was in a square shape that started to slant inward to itself on all four sides forming what was a triangular shaped tip. At the bottom there were square platings on all four sides which had the front sport a hook with a small loop at the top, with a row of three thick ropes around the center; and a larger loop on the bottom that connected to the center of the top horizontal bar that went across as both sides curved downward having a line of rope on either side from the sail, the horizontal bar was also aligned with a series of vertical ropes that went around to the other side to keep the sail's square shape along with having a rectangular gap in between each rope on the top and each connecting strip on the bottom edge above the sail. What held the sail on the bottom of the horizontal bar were rectangular shaped V-letter strips which are narrow at best and slanted diagonally upwards just a little bit, but of course the ropes on the sides were actually apart of the riggings that was for the top of the secondary main sail from The Conqueror in fact
Flagships for one as the main commanding vessel of the fleet that're coming to raid Berk, taking out the others will bring down the strength of this ship alongside the morale of the ones aboard; taking this one down only and this one alone also guarantees a victory as there is no raid if it doesn't have a commanding vessel, this one's equipped with a built-in catapult for launching flaming boulders directly onto Berk for attack. The drawback is that these cannot attack dragons except for those that are aboard this flagship, the crew to be exact
They're larger than other ones as their bodies are wide ovals that beaked forward right at the frontal bow, the captain's quarters was shaped like a inward slanted square on all sides with dual sails atop while one was at the front behind it's main catapult for attacking Berk; it's stern slanted upward like a half-sided trapezoid which then had bone spiked arches that then went overhead on the back, the frontal had a pair of hornless smoothed out Moldruffle skulls at the bowsprit
Attack ships were smaller but could attack dragons rapidly with arrows, close range only as attacking from a distance works best for the latter; their sails were based off an Chinese Junk ship with a ribbed dragon wing curving upwards and facing backwards, it looked like a upper-quarter half spherical shape to be exact. The main body in of itself was like kind of like an sailboat yacht due to how the bow pointed forwards, the back looked like it had an triangular shaped cabin as it's gone from the left to the right; the dual faces on either side are going outwards but also looking like it was slanting a little backwards into a scalene triangular shape. The bow's armed with a large stationary crossbow too but nothing can be stated with a clear sense due to the sail blocking the cabin, and these aren't the same as ballistas mind you they're large and stationary; but this one can fire faster than them. On the bottom backside of the sail from the left to right sides, there's a faint Outcast crest on there too
Now the ones of which are armored ships are ones that attack at a distance slowly, but they're tough and hard to take down as these ones attack dragons from at a far distance; including the ones who are ranged sharpshooting dragons to be exact. These had stakes on the port to starboard sides as well as having the frontal bow be armored with iron, the stern was railed with an horizontal beam going through the line of stakes and the mast went above the inward slanted square-shaped captain's quarters; the main line of defense was the large, mounted and stationary crossbows for attacking any vessel that belonged to the Hairy Hooligans as it's another one of those ships with a crossbow
The ranged ships that attack dragons from a far distance shot out large flaming boulders capable of hitting many targets, but they cannot attack dragons that're close to them whatsoever; they're smaller but had a rectangular body with the stern raised to form a half-sided trapezoid that went backwards, the frontal bow sloping upwards while the main catapult was loaded at the ready. The sail being the form of a horizontal top while both sides were pointed outwards from the top to the diagonal lower edges and in the middle, the bow was armored with iron too and there was a faint Outcast crest on the frontal sail but it was hard to see clearly
The accompanying supply ships were the easiest to destroy as they're found beside larger ships in sheer numbers, they're basically separated pontoons that had a number of barrels to crates on board; with a vertical flag for hoisting from a beam that rested sideways on the stern which went outwards, both sides facing the eyesight of the others. All in all these ships had the tri-spiked shields, the skulls, the different sails and what is not to see here? Neither of this matters because as it was stated before all of them took on the appearance of a longship like the rest of the Vikings, the attack ships had dual sails on the left and right sides to be exact
