Moraelyn asked with a smile, "All right then, I've always wanted to know this - considering the shape of your mouth and teeth, how do dragons manage to speak the humanoid languages so clearly?" |
There are some evils possessed of infinite patience and guile. Dragons are such a force. |
"We like to keep a low profile. Best not to draw attention to ourselves, unlike those [common dragons]. And where are they now, eh?"
—Kos, a Rogat Orjak, quoted in Hardwick & Little's Bestiary, Gunnerkrigg Court
|
"Personality-wise, dragons are nothing more than giant, scaly, fire-breathing cats."
—From the Dwarf Fortress forums
|
OP: Imagine a standard D&D campaign. Now imagine that the highest-level monsters are goblins, kobolds, and whatnot. And you fight beholders, dragons, illithids, demons, etc. at the beginning. Only they are easily killed by a wizard with a knife. —#12209964 on /tg/

"Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons. |
St. George: We heard there was a dragon operating in this neighborhood. We just want to know if you've seen him. |
