Personally I think I'd probably nominate my as the "best capturing of an epic fantasy creature" within my mud. It includes chromatic, metallic, celestial and crystal dragons, hydra, wyverns, serpents, draconians and four types of dracolich (as well as human-form dragonriders and dragonslayers). You can customise your breath weapon and the colour of your scales, choose between land-, air- and water-based breeds, replace your scales with fur or feathers, collect a treasure hoard or wear barding, and wield draconic magic if you so desire. The class is flexible enough to let you design a wide range of characters based on well-known dragon concepts, including oriental dragons, sea serpents, Soletaken, Valheru, Quetzalcoatl, and so on. You can even begin play as a dragon hatchling (although not a full class, it has the same sort of feel on a smaller scale).
