Dragon Rock
My creature’s name is Zorgult. Its purpose is that it is a creature from the depths of Tartarus along with many other dangerous creatures. Some people try to wander to the portal site at Dragon Rock, which is a remote lava and stone island that has a dragon mouth shaped cave with a portal opener inside. But, if someone tries to open up the portal, first they’ll let out humanoid monsters, sea dwelling monsters and air monsters. And then, they’ll let out monsters with no end to their hunger that will eat anything. Sadly, even dirt. Some flying beasts are dragons, and the monster’s minions. And the final thing to come out of the portal would be the the Zorgult.

In this unit, student artists learn about different types of chimeras in cultures ranging from Japanese to Ancient Greek and Roman. They then create their own chimera creature; they create it using printmaking, then draw and paint an appropriate environment for it.
