A person who has dedicated his life to body modification says they won’t stop until they fully become a dragon. Richard Hernandez Jr, who is now legally recognized by Legion, has tattooed most of their body, including tattooing the whites of their eyes green, they have 18 subdermal horns on his head, most of their teeth removed, a split tongue, their ears cut off and a flattened nose with just two little holes in the middle of their face. Legion admits they do miss being able to “scratch” their nose.

Legion, who used to go by the name Tiamat Medusa the Dragon Lady, says the ultimate goal is to become a genderless dragon. So, why did Legion choose this life? They say it all started after their parents abandoned them in the forest at 4 years old where they then adopted the rattlesnake as their “parent”.
