​

These are the most dangerous Dragons that live near the island of Urrakia. With a very sharp and powerful jaw and teeth, they can seriously injure or even kill or even destroy very solid materials into thousands of pieces. And when several of them get together, they get out of control. Furthermore, if you cross them, your life definitely ends there.

Dragouls emit almost no emotions except hatred and anger. It is the only means of communication. However, they can be a little calmer and save your life if you feed them very generously. They are carnivorous and love meat.

Vahitoà tamed several Dragoules. We don't know his intentions as to what he wants to do with these Dragoules.

The Dragoules have a leader, his name is Grouffec. One of the only Dragoules who can speak fluently.

​

The Dragouls have wreaked havoc across Urrakia. The event was named "Attack of the Ghouls" or "The War of Urrakia" or "The War of the Ghouls" They attacked almost all of the island of Urrakia. Many Walldryx fought on the island of the Dragoules but a large majority died devoured by the Dragoules.

​

But some Dragoules were defeated too. Therefore, at the end of this event which lasted several months, many Walldryx were traumatized, lost loved ones and fell into poverty.

This Dragoules has some particularities and also an important link with Rosy the Pink-eyed Dragoules.

Basically, the Dragoules speak their own language. (The language of the Dragoules.), they are forbidden to speak human language. Grouffec is the only one authorized by his status to speak human language in addition to the language of the Dragoules.

Grouffec has eyes that are half pink and half red.
He is related to Rosy. In doing so, he is looking for his little sister (Rosy) who is missing or even killed by a Walldryx according to rumors.
But Rosy has an extremely different character from her father.

He has part of his wings which are a little damaged.
Basically, he is an authoritarian, Machiavellian and cruel Dragoules but unlike Dragoules in general, he laughs, smiles, sometimes melancholy. Besides, he has feelings and also a hurt heart.

Character creation

​

​

To create the design of the Dragoules, I was inspired by the "Big Ghoul", a name of a Legendary Dragon in Poitou in the 6th century.

​

On May 20, 2018 during a trip to the city of Poitiers, I came across a restaurant called "Dragon du Poitou" shortly after in the TGV, I made a small sketch under the name of a "Dragon Poitevin" .

At the same time during a day in Metz in June 2018, I was looking for a new design of a Dragon, notably the Graoully  (see Graouh)

The idea of the Dragon Poitevin will remain in the pipeline for 4 months.

 

I carried out more extensive research in September 2018 in London when I discovered on the Internet a list of Legendary Dragons such as the Tarasque of Tarascon, the Graoully of Metz and the Big'Ghoul. In the end, it was the Big'Ghoul who caught my attention the most. I discovered its design and the place where it can be seen in the form of a statuette. It is at the Sainte-Croix Museum in Poitiers.

 

In November 2018, return to Poitiers to visit this museum, and at the same time, discover for the first time the statuette of the Grand'Goule in real life. Thus, I was able to refine the final design of Dragoules.  

​

Dragoules have a small navel. This was not the case in its initial design between 2018 and 2021.
