Dragons

[varsaigen]

well, we don't talk about humans every second, that's for sure. D: and dragons live longer lives :/

 

[Misha]

seconded.

 

[sacridshadow]

I dunno, gossip is pretty common subject.

We talk about gossip? lol no. More likely we'll talk about the things we saw or did. or even learned. but dragons aren't much for small talk, though some do. Dragons prefer to use their powers or even gain knowledge. The using theur powers could be in teaching or even constant fighting. lol

 

[Misha]

Chinese dragons are so misterious ^.=.^

 

[varsaigen]

there are strings attached to satalittes above. That's how they fly. Either that, or vacuums put on reverse

 

[Misha]

o.=.O? what? x3

 

[sacridshadow]

vacuums put on reverse shoot air, instead of sucking it throguh it's filters. However, that wouldn' work because there is no pressure to send it anywhere. It might move 5 meters an hour. lol

 

[Misha]

That's even weirder than the Shoop Da Whoop O.=.o

 

[Dakadoon]

Dragons fly by magic, otherwise they wouldn't b able to stay in the air for long.

 

[Misha]

totally true for chineese dragons ^.=.^

 

[varsaigen]

real dragons would have large wings, able to warry their weight. And, though heavy, they would probably have hollow bones to help them get in the air and fly. (like giant birds ) So really, the movies seem to have them with small wings that would not be able to carry them, though I have seem some movies where they were just about long enough to carry them. :/

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

I finally get the emotion things Misha is using! ^.=.^

 

[Misha]

Orly? ^^

 

[sacridshadow]

lol catnip?

 

[Misha]

lolwut?

Dragons r 2 big for hollow bones 2 make much difference and even if their wings were as big as possible they could stay in the air for long at all

 

[Misha]

then explain to me how something with full bones as a bat flies >:3 same principle aplies to dragons ^.=.^ + dragons have somewhat of a natural gas baloon in themselves. which solves the firebreath too x3

 

[Gespenst]

Seeing is that dragons are mythical creatures, I dont see why their flight capabilties wouldn't be magically augmented. Dragons and magic do walk hand-in-hand.

 

[sacridshadow]

In some cases, yes. but why should a dragon need magic to fly? humans and other creatures without wings would need it if they were to fly themselves. lol

 

[Misha]

i've just explained how an actual real dragon would be in anathomy, which is most likely. 3 posts ago :3

 

[varsaigen]

agreeing with Misha on this one. If a heavy creature is given wings, movies show them too small. A dragon would need massive wings (probably around 3 lengths of the dragon (wingspan), JUST to be able to get enough lift to get into the air. Plus, with the massive power of a dragon's muscles, the dragon would be able to get enough propulsion to keep a good speed, and, just like birds, would be able to use vents to stay in the air, allowing it to glide. (Though not for long periods of time.) Either way, dragons would be able to fly without magic. Sadly, the ones on TV would require magic due to their tiny wings

 

[Misha]

Tiny, tiny wings ^.=.^

 

[varsaigen]

yes, very tiny wings

 

[sacridshadow]

fairy dragons are pretty small. lol there's one type that doesn't need huge wings to fly. XD

 

[Misha]

you haven't seen their wings, they are transparent at the edges. like a quantum butterfly x3

(lol.. do you know that joke?)

 

[varsaigen]

lol imagine being slapped in the face by a butterfly's invisible wing tips 5 feet away XD

 

[Misha]

or more XD

yeah, the quantum butterfly, which can create hurricanes on it's own tiny will x3

 

[sacridshadow]

what are you basing this off of? You make it sound like they are tiny creatures with five foot long wings. seriously, who said the tips were invisible? just cause it has fairy in it's name, doesn't mean it's magical. just like the komodo dragon isn't a dragon. just cause dragon's in the name, doesn't mean it can breath fire or fly either.

 

[varsaigen]

........ butterflies can fly. lol but you are completly missing the meaning of Quantum Butterfly. :/ The joke is that the rest of the wings are invisible, thus allowing the dragon the wingspan required to fly. It just looks small, due to the rest being transparent. >_>

Ruined the fun by being so literal... >< forcing me to then explain it to you

 

[sacridshadow]

(lol.. do you know that joke?)

I haven't heard that one before, but i fail to see how butterflies belong in a dragons group. I was talking about fairy dragons, not space butterflies. lol

 

[varsaigen]

............................................... -.- he was making a comparison to the Quantum butterfly, which, in theory, can create a hurricane by the flap of it's wings. Logically, it'd be the build-up of power from each flap that would grow to the point of staring a hurricane. But, to get a more likely effect, the butterfly would need larger wings. And since thare are no butterflies that are seen with 5 foot wings, I made the joke of the extra 9 1/2 feet being perfectly invisible, but having the visible part appearing as normal wings. This the "slapped in face" part, and the visual effect that the butterfly is 5 feet away, though the invisible parts of the wings are hitting the person... I hope that explains it? >_>

 

[Misha]

let's try this x3 The quantum butterfly has the huge wingspan ,enough to create hurricanes. the reason he looks tiny is because light difusion, which makes it's wings invisible where ain't the pigment
and about the feaerie dragon, he has the same type wings.. so that hopefully explains all x3 that's how it flies XD

 

[sacridshadow]

not invisible, transparent. XD btw, if there is no pigment, it's white, not transparent. lol

 

[varsaigen]

very true. Sacrid wins on that note But, what if the cells are simply transparent? >:3 That would allow for there to be a 10 foot wingspan and still make it seem that ones being slapped by a butterfly that is 5 feet away. (cause they can't see the rest of the wings slapping them -.-) :/

 

[sacridshadow]

well, you can see the movement. transparent wings are just like glass. You an see through them, but you can still tell where it is. but also, a butterfly with a 5 foot wingspan would have to be turned away just to hit you with it's wings, and also, it wouldn't be ale to rest in trees.

 

[Misha]

eh :3 there comes the magical nature of a quantum butterfly :3
same with faerie dragon C:

wings are magicly invisible where is transparency. ^_^

 

[varsaigen]

yes. We can't see wind, but it moves... THAT kind of transparency. 100%. not bending light around an object -.- (bending light would create a silhouette and the background would seem slightly warped.)

 

[Gespenst]

Don't we have anything intelligent to talk about?

 

[varsaigen]

... define intellegent topics in a dragons group -.- No one else has brought up anything, so Misha brought up fairy dragons, and the quatum butterfly effect, so we ended up debating that. How is that a retarded (braindead) topic? -.-

 

[Dr Super Good]

Do you think dragons would choose nature or technology as a way of life? As they may have largish brain size, they could develop human level technology, or do you think they will just not bother or try and lead a more in touch with nature life?

 

[sacridshadow]

actually, I brought up fairy dragons. You guys were talking about dragons needing magic to fly, and I proved it wrong with fariy dragons. then.... somehow it went to magical butterflies. I don't even know why. lol
DSG, it's hard to say. It mostly depends on what they understand and how they are built. It they are like the typical four legged dragons, then I don't see them using technology, but it they are more like velociraptors in form, then I can see them doing even more. (Jurrasic Park, velociraptor opened doors and even set traps for the hunter), and if they were humanoid, then they COULD be like us, but they would require a heat source to stay awake all day. Because lizards require the sun's warmth to wake up for the day. I can't see them getting far.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Firstly, some places in the world are never cold (below 20°C). Secondly may I remind you dragons do have claws, which could easilly evolve so that they are able to manipulate objects.

 

[sacridshadow]

who said I didn't know dragoons had claws? All i said was more humanoid than the typical dragons. that's all. I don't need reminding because I already know they have claws. btw, my cat can open my door inwards, and he has claws. He even grabbed the door handle and pulled. lol

 

[varsaigen]

sacrid is right. It would depend on the frame of their race. I don't see the logic in having large, 4 legged dragons, able to use their forward legs as arms as well, driving cars, when they can fly. So, I would tend to think that they would stay more towards nature, but at least have stone buildings and heating equipment (if able to create and put together small parts (bolts, screws, washers. lol))

 

[sacridshadow]

that's why they have humans. lol

 

[Misha]

Chinese dragons have actually hand-like claws, and they also the most versatile. so they are the most skilled with manipulating objects...
Buuut.. x3 i don't see 'em ever starting a tech. they are too much into nature flow.

 

[Gespenst]

And of Cyborg dragons?

 

[sacridshadow]

cyborg dragons? those are robots, machines. metal dragons have a metal skin.

 

[Gespenst]

Cyborg dragons, as in part mechanical, part organic. I did not say mecha dragons.

 

[Misha]

i once had a skin called MEOW dragon. (for moar info see Hawkwing's "MEOW" skin pack)
You'll see in the skin description what MEOW means (Hawkwing's skins)
(MEOWs are cyber)
