My take on the bat dragon vs shadow dragon debate?
Okay I know this isn't a hot take, but I think bat dragon will always be more popular and more loved. And I think that's fair!
However I want to talk about why!!
I draw pets for free like my flair says , and as u can imagine I get ALOT of requests.The entire time I've done it, I've been asked to draw 32 bat dragons!! And exactly .. 1 .. shadow dragon..
It wasn't even on its own either, it was with another pet lol!
I think the problem is, bat dragon is more 'bond- able' . It's more customisable, it fits pet wear better, the colours are more customisable, they can easily be cute , spooky, gothic , preppy. Literally everything.
At the end of the day, no matter what pet was harder to get etc, ( which is one argument I see for why shadow should be ontop) .. demand always wins. Yes ofc both have AMAZING demand, but bat dragon just happens have more.
I ofc think the shadow dragon is super cool!! It's just not 'flexible' the way the bat dragon is!
I ofc wanna know what people think so lmk ! 💭
