A screenie of a google doc that reads: April Fools! ♥️ We wouldn't be stupid enough to do anything like this, no worries - but we did get a few of you LOL! Happy designing anything you want and not needing to follow silly guides like this 😁 BTACD's Ultimate Design Guide: Dragon! Welcome to BTACD's ultimate species design guide: dragon, v1! In this series, we'll be laying down some mandatory guidelines for all of our species, to bring cohesion and rules set in stone from this day forward. These guides are not optional, and any previously-designed characters approved must be redesigned and reapproved with the new guidelines here. Species guideline updates will be released periodically over the next several months as we reformat how we approach them, and figure out how we wish for them to look. Let's begin with the dragon!

BTACD did one of the best April Fools jokes in a while and I did get a few of them before they realized the date LMFAO

But!! btacdragons.com needs no silly number-bound, arbitrary guides to dictate how its dragons look <3 Design and be happy!
