Download, print, and color these pictures. It's fun, it's easy.
And won't cost either of us a lot of money.
You might have noticed how the pictures on this and the following pages are much larger than most others on the website. This is done on purpose and is the result of these particular images being of a much higher resolution than the rest. If copied to your computer and enlarged to fit inside a standard 8 1/2"x 11" sheet, they will produce a satisfactory print suitable for coloring using a variety of different media. The digital files created can also be colored directly on your computer using any photo retouching or graphics program. And then printed. Either way, or both, this should keep the youngsters (and oldsters) occupied for a while. In the future, we'll have a contest where you can send me copies of your finished pictures and the winner will get $1,000,000.00. Okay, maybe not quite that much. Maybe not even money at all. Okay, so the winner might get a free signed copy of their favorite character. Whew, this is one tough crowd.

With little memory of anywhere other than Earth, the fledgling Boja has no desire to leave her home world and journey to some foreign and dangerous other place. Despite her grouchy, parent-like guardian, Shelldon, who has never liked living on Earth (or approved of its human inhabitants) she is quite happy visiting and playing with her meadowland friends and other acquaintances.
Boja’s favorite part of each new day is watching the Holy Fire dawn above the hills that lay nearby her and Shelldon’s oak tree lair. Though much to her guardian’s dismay and disapproval, she especially enjoys her morning chats with young Timothy, the only human she knows. |

Boja bears the Mark of the Golden Talon. Her lustrous, gilded claw signifies that she is the heir to the Dragle dynasty, and entitled to assume her rightful place upon the giant log inside the Cave of Queens. The Imperial Dragle Empress also wears the sacred Shafrah, the royal necklace worn by a reigning sovereign. The Shafrah stands as a symbol for the thousand seasons that Queen Dragles have ruled over Dragonia.
Worn around Boja’s golden talon is the magical ring, which was once the horn of a dragonicorn. It was bestowed to her by Cora, who is a dragonicorn. |

Gday is the first Dragonian resident Boja and Shelldon encounter upon their return home. The dragaroo educator shares her forest dwelling, set inside a hollowed treetrunk, with her infant male joey, Ditto.
After a fine evening meal, Gday bids “fare well” to the voyagers, and warns of the many dangers that lie ahead for them. She gives Boja a bag of freshly baked dragarookies to take on her way. |

Disguised as just another vine hanging from overhead treelimbs, Steemer dangles-in-wait for some unwary passerby with food. Boja loses the ’garookies, given her by Gday, to this woodland thief.

Mimbazi dislikes those who, without his permission, trespass through his private domain. Confronting Boja and Shelldon, who have accidentally stumbled across him, the draganther tries to intimidate the pair of perceived intruders with his blustery bluffs and fiery puffs. The Overseer is impressed by the Dragle’s rare courage, especially by her refusal to cower beneath his threats. Deciding to help them, he warns both of the travelers to beware of the draguirrel troublemaker, Urrol.

After Boja and Shelldon arrive at the pond where the dragurtle was born, Whanda is not deceived by the others’ portrayal of the Dragle as just a stray, blown inland from the sea around the island refuge, Moon Hala. The wise and respected dragwan, known as the Keeper of the pond, is eager to talk to the princess and help her understand the new life that awaits the reluctant returnee.
As a result of their fateful meeting, a special friendship develops between the two. |
CSB8

One of the friskier residents of the pond, Flycia loves to play all kinds of games. Young and innocent, the flighty dragonet moppet happens upon Boja, who is out for an early morning stroll. During their brief visit, each learns from the other.

In addition to Shelldon’s sister, Shellsie, and others like, Torto, Whanda, and Tali, Bumper shares the bog with a variety of its other denizens. Not one for frivolity, he ducks beneath the water whenever anyone, particularly the rambunctious dragon’gly, Flycia, tries to involve him in a playful game of “tag”.
|
CSB10
|
When not avoiding the pesky dragon’gly, Flycia, Tali lies-in-wait for some unwary vine to come creeping by. He likes the excitement of chasing and catching food which tries to get away from him. The long tendrils of the roots bear occasional blooms which, if the dragantis is patient enough, will provide an especially delicious snack.

Augley spends his days paddling about the pond, where he really enjoys bobbing upside down, sticking his tail scathers in the air, and puffing underwater smoke bubbles. Unfortunately for the draguck, the pastime carries a certain risk. A dragish prankster likes to nip at Augley’s backside whenever he pokes it upright, out of the water.
|
CSB12
|
Gil likes to play practical jokes on his fellow pond-mates. His favorite gag is to watch for Augley, when the draguck dips his head under the water and exposes his straight-up hind end. The dragish sneaks close, leaps from the surface, nips Augley’s tail, then dives out of sight.
The draguck swears he will get even some day, but Gil says the surface-dwelling, ground waddler will have to catch him first. |
CSB13
|
A member of the little-known dragscargot family, Blaze yearns to speed along like his friend, Shellsie. From time to time the dragurtle lets him ride atop her shell and, as a result, the dragnail follows her everywhere. Patiently he awaits the next opportunity to enjoy another dizzying, thrill-packed adventure ride.

Boja and Shelldon soon leave the pond and resume their journey to find the princess’ grandfather, Grandohr. During their trip, they barely avoid Snorf, who is the boss of a roving gang of crooks, motley marauders, and other scalawags. Ever since Dragragon overthrew the Dragle monarchy, food in Dragonia has grown scarce. Hunger has spawned lawlessness, disorder, and perpetual disputes throughout the realm.
The dragvark and his band of brigands and dragoons are only some of the many who prowl the land absconding with whatever victuals they might come across. |

Cora is a member of the mystical Sisterhood, a group of dragonicorns who dwell along the banks of the mighty lake, Midlania. While strolling the shoreline alone one night, she discovers Boja and Shelldon’s hidden presence.
Moments later, Dragragon’s accomplice, Rak, suddenly drops by for a drink of rainwater, but soon wishes he had quenched his thirst elsewhere. After her magnificent horn breaks off during a brief fracas with the dragodactyl, Cora presents it to Boja as a gift. When she does, the magical antler changes to a small, ivory ring which the princess wears around her golden talon. |
