Any Dragon without legs available?

Hi everyone,
I am seeking for a Dragon for DAZ where I can hide the legs and have the lower body looking more like a snake if you want, and possible a tail where is possible to have an arrow form at the very end.

I tried to modify SubDragon using Hexagon, but, even if I succeeded in terms of figure, it won't get morphed back in DAZ and apparently there is no easy way to create a new morph etc...

So does anyone know if there is something like this already available somewhere?

Thanks!

    A morph can push the existing mesh around only, if you delete parts it's not going to work. What you could do is hide the legs, then create a morph with the remaining skin to cover the hole (not worrying what happens to the leg mesh) then bring that into DS as a morph, select and lock all the leg parts and hide them. Another option would be to convert the dragon to weight-mapping, Edit>Figure>Rigging>Convert to weight mapping, then make a version without legs (and with the holes properly closed) and use the Transfer Utility to make it into a figure using the converted standard dragon as the source figure (though the morphs would be lost that way).

    You could even use Genesis + Gorgon + some product to give it a dragonlike head (Drakon, or Reptillian, or Tyrex, for instance), plus (if needed) some wings...maybe Strigoi... If you want it to have no wings or forearms, though, that could be a problem (solveable, perhaps, by using the method Richard mentioned).

    This upcoming morphing wyvern product might be of interest, too: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/19682/ It appears from the teaser pics that it can be a snakelike dragon with two small legs, among other things.

    Dinokonda is a legless dragon. There is an expansion product too: DinoKonda EP PLUS.

    Thank you everyone for your help.

    Snake dragon is not what I meant (obviously I searched a lot in DAZ store before posting), but thank you anyway! :)

    I will try the idea of hiding the legs and close the holes in hexagon, also will have to shrink the hips a bit to make it look like a snake on the lower part. For the Arrow tail I obviously can reshape SubDragon tail. Hope it'll work with the suggested approach.

    To everyone else, I needed a dragon with wings and arms and wide shoulders on the top body, while a snake with an arrowed tail at the bottom. That's a typical Wyvern Dragon for logos, the Wyvern dragons on DAZ Store are more Pterodattilus kind of Wyverns, so not the right kind for me.

    Thanks! :)

    Actually, no, the typical Wyvern dragon has wings and one pair of legs. What you're describing is a winged serpent.

    FYI,
    I said a typical Wyvern FOR LOGOS, not just a typical Wyvern... most of medioeval standards used this type of Wyvern, still nowadays it is used for this purpose, but anyway I was not complainign about the Wyvern on DAZ store at all, simply said they are not what I need...

    Thanks
