>>32627135Almost all dragons have horns and they're all useless. No dragon is ever going to need them. They're just there, part of the design.
In fact, Zard's horns are actually have a point. Zard's neck is more simpler. It's not as spike filled as a normal dragon's. This, however, brings the weight and focus of the neck and head on a single side. Which might look a bit jarring to some, especially if seen from the back. So it is given horns that jut out a bit to the other side. They're not too big, to not steal the focus from the face too much, but they bring something to the otherwise featureless head of Zard.
They COULD have made the horns more, uh, horn-y. Like different colored, stiffer, and pointy-er, but that would take the focus away from the main focal point, the face. Not something something you want. Making them same color and rounder adds more flow. Looking at any part of the horn smoothly guides your eyes to the face. Being rounder adds to that.
At the time, that was the best they could do. This, however, is changed with Zard X. The horns are a lot more like a typical dragon's horns now. But at the same time, Zard's mouth now releases flame, which attracts even more attention. So you don't have to worry about the focus shifting towards the horns.
>>32627978No, they aren't. In the very image you posted, the horns on that dragon are NOTHING like Zard's, branching out and being different colored and shit. Zard's horns are as European as they get.
