Inspired by monthly art contest but still not sure if it match with topic (Think; evolution and natural selection rather than just ‘it’s a magical creature so anything goes’ doesn’t really match with the Sausage-Dragon legend )
The Legendary Sausage-Dragon
The Legendary Sausage-Dragon, according to the legend, would be at the origin of the Sausage Island.
Fleeing the icy lands and looking for a quiet and warm place, after 1000 years of wandering, the Sausage-Dragon finally found a pretty small volcano in the Nowhere ocean and decided to live there.
Digging deeper and deeper, spitting everything around, emptying the pockets of their magma, blowing the rocks not hot enough, day after day, year after year, century after century, the Legendary Sausage-Dragon built his cozy room in the bowels of the volcano today named The Mount BBQ. And at the same time the Sausage Island was born.
This painting was made from description of Buliotto Lidenbrock, a crazy scientist claiming to have reached the center of the earth by venturing into the depths of Mount BBQ ()
Edit: you can found a better version of painting here because forum resize and recompress so muche that all small details are lost and became huge jpeg artifact
I just wonder how many (if any) of these pre-fried creatures Herr Lidenbrock consumed before returning to civilization. Is this an extinct species now?
Nobody knows.
In fact nobody believed him when he said he came to the center of the earth.
But nobody contest the fact he could have seen the Sausage-Dragon.
Then it was too much and Buliotto Lidenbrock finished in an asylum because of people who believed him without believing him
The scientist Bulerwin Schrödinger that have already talked about something like being alive and dead at the same time, talked here about being believed without being believed at the same time…
Unfortunately, except Buliotto Lidenbrock nobody never saw the Legendary Sausage-Dragon…
Some thinks these are horns, other thinks about nose orifices…
Maybe ears.
Concerning eyes, scientist think Legendary Sausage-Dragon don’t have eyes but probably more something like a sonar (like bats) or infrared detector under the skin…
Nothing is sure, everything is possible
Scientists would love to observe a living specimen (and even a dead specimen in fact) of the Legendary Sausage-Dragon.
But nobody even knows if there’s one unique specimen or more…
An expedition into the Mount BBQ has been envisaged, but estimated to more than 300 billion of bullars to be made in good condition… Then idea have been abandoned
Don’t see why an expedition should be that expensive… in fact, I’m half tempted to go myself.
There’s a rumour that Mount BBQ is laced with caves and lethal dead-ends, but I know of a rottweiler, Stan, who can smell a cocktail wiener from 20 miles away. I’m sure he wouldn’t have any problem finding the right entrance.
Due to the situation and corruption of Colonel Carrot and his army, they’re asking 250 billion more to let an expedition go to Mount BBQ in “safe” conditions.
And initially, because even if nobody believe what he told, Crazy scientist Buliotto Lidenbrock seems to walk during 3 weeks before seeing the Legendary Sausage-Dragon. The cozy cave is being estimated at 25km underground.
Nobody want’s to walk 3 weeks like this, so for a comfortable expedition of 100 scientists (they all want to see from they’re own eyes) it has been decided to build hotels every 500 meters of elevation with:
Electricity, Running water, shower, toilets in each bedrooms
Wifi to let everyone being able to post selfies on @instagrum
Clean laundry and ironed clothes for scientists everyday
Restaurant with starred chef
Installation of escalators is envisaged on hard-to-reach terrain
As temperature might be high, everything must be air conditioned (hotels, tunnels, caves, …)
And of course, as it’s dangerous to walk in dark tunnels & cave, they must be lit
Media also have asked to possibility of do an interview of the Legendary Sausage-Dragon with some TV reality stars then…
To prepare this expedition, around 15000 persons have to be paid during 27years + cost of infrastructure, energy, …
Brief: Design and draw/paint a sausage which is physiologically adapted to the environment in which it lives.
All styles are welcome (within the general rules).
Suggestion: Look at real-world creatures to help inspire your design. See if you can find interesting features that might work well with a sausage and give it an advantage in the environment it lives.
Think; spices and natural preservation rather than just ‘it’s a magical sausage so anything goes’.
Examples:
If it lives in a cold environment, how does it keep its texture (or not cook in a hot environment)?
Does it need camouflage to hide from barbecues or help it approach prey?
How does it move effectively without legs?
Does it have a specialised casing (or wrapping e.g. bacon) to help protect it?
Does it have aesthetic features to help attract a mate (so it can settle down and make little cocktail sausages)?
)

I bet when he flies around, that’s the reason why I can smell Barbecue
