To support cloth simulation and animation layering, Elder Dragons can only use Valve's default skeleton, joint positions and animations. There is no option to create custom animations or skeletons. Layered Dragon cast and attack animations may not play correctly in-game through the workshop tool but you will be able to preview more animations in the Preview Model page using the animation drop-down list. Valve will add cloth and full in-game animations if the item ships. Please model a mouth that can open and weight the lower jaw to the jaw bone since the dragon needs to open its mouth for attacks.
