If you are from DreamWorks and want these models taken down, please contact us.

Want to try your hand at animating dragons? Check out these six fully rigged and textured models:

(.7z files can be extracted using 7-Zip [Win] or Keka [Mac].)

These models were extracted from the online game DreamWorks Dragons: Wild Skies, and are probably the most official models we fans will ever get to play around with. Since the models are optimized for the game, their textures aren't quite film quality, but as game models go, they're pretty detailed.

Huge thanks to barracuda, who extracted and converted these models!

Check below for a couple more images. And if you make something cool out of these dragon models, tell us and we'll post them on this page as well!

UPDATE 2:  A new description for Animal House from mysanatonio.com

"In the Viking kingdom featured in the animated series “Dragons: Riders of Berk” (6:30 p.m., Cartoon Network), the price of tranquility runs high. Inspired by the movie “How to Train Your Dragon,” “Berk” asks us to imagine a world where dragons and people have become friends. This seems like a plus, until the friendly giant lizards start scaring the barnyard animals.
