The Dragon Viper is what the Cobra Flamethrower "Pyro Viper" troops hope to evolve into someday.
Their motto is "Death from Above!" and with their gel-flame-packs and flight gear they are a formidable attack force on ground troops, for sheer terror alone.

*Note: their gear is totally removeable and can be used with most 25A and RoC figures.

Loving the overall design of this guy, but the color scheme just SCREAMS Iron Grenadiers.

Change the name to Dragoone or some such and assign them to Destro and you've got a winner.

Love it, but I agree he should be a Iron Grenadier.

Found this online:

Celtic Dragons (Irish and Scottish)

Bheithir

In Celtic Mythology Ben Vair in Scotland takes its name from the dragon that used to live in a great hollow in the face of a mountain known as Corrie Lia. The dragon was tricked into walking along a pontoon bridge with hidden spikes.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing that everyone else was: Iron Grenadier with that head... Other than that, the figure is a winner, and the flames are great!

The hot glue work is awesome. Is there supporting structure inside the flames to keep them straight?

Also, it looks like an IG.

Should've just called it Dragon Grenadier and been done with it :-|

There's a bamboo skewer inside each of the jet pack flames to help hold it up.
The cannon flame is lighter, so I used a plastic drinking straw for that.
