Ossuary Drake
A dragon that never lived
Mounted the way museums mount the ones that did: crouched on a slab of broken stone, every bone out in the open. Scroll, and the lamp moves around it.
The skull
Jaws open, teeth set along both of them, and a pair of horns sweeping back over the neck. The eye sockets are cut right through, so the light shows in them.
An open ribcage
The body is a cage, not a shell. You see straight through the ribs to the far legs, the way you would through a real mounted skeleton.
Finger-bone wings
Each wing is an arm that ends in long jointed fingers, held up and back from the shoulders. Tip to tip they span 4.8 in.
The tail leaves the stone
It runs 2.6 in past the edge of the base and stays lifted clear of the table, so the drake is longer than the ground it stands on.
Set in stone
The slab is 5.3 × 3.7 in and printed in stone grey, cut with fracture lines. The feet sit down in it rather than on top of it.
Two colours, and nothing painted
The bones are one filament and the stone is another. There is no paint and no wash to wear off: what reads as bone is the plastic itself, and the shadows between the ribs are real shadows.
