Name That Dragon! Round 16 FINAL ROUND!

Here it is, the final dragon!

This dragon is made entirely of ectoplasmic goo. It's a see-through, inter-dimensional dragon. Name That Dragon!

Yesterday's communique from Judge Jessica:

And he shall be called: Gronkaloth! Though he cannot fly, he moves with surprising nimbleness across the ground, and once he grabs hold of you, his bite cannot be broken!

(Chris is the namer.)

Congratulations Chris! You have named this dragon! One more chance to win, make it good!

This Thursday is the annual King's English holiday party. I'll be there, with many other Utah authors, signing TWELVE BOTS and DINOSAURS' NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS's. It's from 5-7. If you live in or around SLC, come on by!

Dragon Pending...

It's the final day of the Name That Dragon Day! But where is the dragon? The final dragon is running a few hours behind, but he'll be out by lunchtime. Watch this space! Today will be your last chance to win the name game!

Name That Dragon! Round 15

And we're back! I hope you all enjoyed the Thanksgiving weekend, I know I did. I got a ladder on Black Friday for $20! A sweet $20 ladder. Oh yeah!

Back to business, we have two more days of Name That Dragon with special guest judge Jessica Day George. So...

Thank you to everyone who showed up at the Orem Barnes and Noble signing. I did some pretty epic custom robot drawings. I'll be doing more 12 BOTS signings throughout the month, I'll make sure to post the dates.

Be sure to be back for the final dragon tomorrow!

Twelve Bots in-store Event Saturday!!

Oh great! Here's what I get for taking a two-day break from posting. I forgot to announce this:

Saturday, November 27th I'm doing an in-store visit at Barnes and Noble in Orem, Utah. 1-4. I'll be drawing a custom robot in each and every BOTS book bought. Come out and see me!

The holiday season is now upon us, and I'll have several more in-store dates to announce. Sorry for getting this info out at the last second.

Name That Dragon! Bonus THANKSGIVING Round

Take a break everyone, it's your weekend off. There is no dragon naming on Turkey Day (or Black Friday.) See you next week!

Yesterday's dragon name was judged, and here's what Jessica had to say:

The dragon will be named . . . PERCY! A short yet noble name for this peerless adventurer!

Congratulations Sarah C. you are now tied with Debbie with two names! Congrats! And Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! We'll be back Monday for the final two dragons!

Name That Dragon! Round 14

This peppy little dragon is positive he's the hero of any story he is in. Name That Dragon!

Once again, when judging at this high level, guest Judge Jessica is poring carefully over yesterday's names. There are some great ones in there. Who will she pick? What could that scary dragon possibly be named? Wait and see....

Judging is complete! Judge Jessica has come up with a winner:

Raigoth- by Debbie Barr

Moving silently on his velvet bat wings, Raigoth lives in darkness, hunts in darkness, kills in . . . DARKNESS!

That's TWO wins for Debbie (well, one and a half...) she's the one to beat! Incidentally, my new heavy metal band now is called "Raigoth" and this is our album cover.

Name That Dragon! Round 14

Dragon #14 is not something you'd like to meet in a dark alley. Name That Dragon!

Our guest celebrity judge, Jessica Day George, is scrupulously examining the entries, collating data, and thinking deeply about each of yesterday's names. We'll have the results out later today. Cross those fingers!

This just in from Judge Jessica:

And the name of this dragon is: Treeaxis, Keeper of the Wood. This magnificent creature can sleep for long centuries beneath a blanket of moss and trees, waking in a terrible fury when his forest is threatened.

Congratulations Jason!

Name That Dragon! Round 13

Today's dragon is a really, really big dragon. Name That Dragon!

Friday's winning name was "The Abominable Snow Ram" named by Ryan, in Buttercup's comment. Congratulations! It sure looks like an Abominable Snow Ram to me.

We're entering the final week of Name That Dragon. And to finish with style, we are having another celebrity judge. She'll be judging the rest of the dragon entries, including this one. Who is it? It's world famous dragon expert Jessica Day George! Author of Dragon Slippers, Dragon Flight and Dragon Spear! That's a lot of books with "Dragon" in the title. If anyone knows dragon names, it's Jessica, so bring your "A" game.
