Dragons
I recently saw 'Eregon' on DVD, and although I liked the story and look forward to the sequel(s), I have to take issue with the appearance of the dragon, Safira.  Her face is way too flat, and her eyes too small and forward-facing.  The presumed descendants of dragons, lizards and birds, have long central ridges from brow to snout (beak), and large protuberant eyes that are more situated to the side.  Safira has a brow stop, for crisake!  Any comments?  Bax?

I agree that originality in creature design is to be desired, as long as they don't stray too far from the prototype. I did not want to see a Disney dragon in this film! The beady-eyed aspect of Safira was kind of off-putting, and didn't go with her voice. Her actions were believable, and not too idealized. Did you see the film?
