Description
Here is the character reference for my interpretation of Echidna's newborn son, Ladon, for Mythologies: Journey Through The Ancient World.Note: Ladon's design is a mix of horned lizard, crocodile, elephant, and gecko. And those lumps on his neck would sprout extra heads as he grows older.
EDIT: Added a human silhouette to show off his size.

Oh Okay just trying to ask you some minor questions about some creatures I like but most of them are Gigantic Reptiles like Dragons, Dinosaurs and Godzilla.

Now I don't get it. How come there are Dragons in Greek mythology? I thought those were only found in Eastern cultures like the Asian and the Middle Ages as the classic ones with 4 legs and wings. Am I right?

Nope, they're found in Greek mythology, too.

A lot...cuter than I expected the protector of the Golden apples...and only one head too.

How about his size? Pretty big for a newborn, eh?

Yeah. I suspected he'd be big.
SO...does Echidna lay eggs or is she like mammal? Because...yak now...(motions to the wide plethera of kids and compares it to the parents) I do not understand Greek Monster genetics.

I think she lays eggs for avian, fish or reptilian babies, and live birth for mammals.

Okay
I think the norse at least got some sense to it

Huh, I imagined him a bit more fat and his body wasΒ lower like a crocodile but other than that, he looks good. Can't wait to see him when he's full grown.

Wasn't he the dragon that guarded the Golden Apples?

I was thinking,"Why does that name sound familiar?"

What's the story behind this creature other than being one of Echidna's offspring?

Out of curiosity, is Landon an established mythological creature, or is he an original one you came up with?
Regardless, I like the design; he looks like a cross between a dragon and a leopard gecko.

He's the protector of Hera's Garden and basically the pet of Atlas' daughters. Whom Heracles tricks him to steal from and then later makes himhold back up the sky.
This little Greek Mythology fact is brought to you by the letter "Ξ©"

He's an established creature from Greek mythology. Look here.Β en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladon_(mβ¦

Ladon, huh? Cool. He looks as cute as i'm sure he is also dangerous. After all: to my knowledge, no child of Echidna has ever been known to be harmless.

Read the latest episode of Mythology, you'd be right.
