Physical appearance[]
In the original film, Elliott was created and designed by Ken Anderson. In one of the promotional posters, he is said to be "20 feet tall" and "40 feet long", but in the actual film, he appears to be closer to roughly 12 feet in height. And according to the song, "It's Not Easy", he has a wolfdog's teeth, a panda's tongue, a camel's head, a american bison's horns, a alligator's nostrils, deer's eyebrows, a donkey's muzzle, a shark's eyes, a cow's ears, a hippo's chin, crocodile's underbelly, a giraffe's neck, a lemur's arms, a lion's paws, a pteranodon's legs a bear's claws a brontosaurus' torso, a hyena's toes, a rat's feet, a kangaroo's tail 1, a tiger's tail 2, bull's tail 3, and zebra's tail tuft.
Elliott himself is a fairly tall obese dragon with a very prominent chin and a large stomach big enough for Pete to sit on as a cushion. He has emerald-green scales, a mint-green segmented underbelly, and forest-green spots of varying sizes along his body. He has bubblegum-pink hair in a style similar to a pixie-cut on his head and at the end of his tail, which acts as a third arm. He has purple spikes running down his spine, and small pink bat-like wings with a lighter pink webbing on his back which, despite their size, are still able to let him fly, albeit a little awkwardly.
