smooth sea dragon

spontaneous creation after random brush strokes slowly took shape. As a fan of speculative fantasy biology I imagined this creature with a texture similar to that of a dolphin while using speckled colors to blend in with the reflections of the water as seen from above the surface.

They're not as big as they seem, with wings that allow them to glide through the water and claws that can hold on to rocks in even the strongest currents. When hunting, the creature envelops its prey and stuns it with the anemone-like organ connected to its mouth, though the same organ also allows it to passively catch smaller prey.
