Dragons

[varsaigen]

and the lower jaw is much longer than the upper jaw. D: Although, there is a slim chance that that could be the perspective :/

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

I got a question for you all. Do you think Half-Dragons are better or worse then normal dragons? I mean like Half dragon half human if it was human it would be more adaptlbe to things. While if it was a normal Blue dragon if would not be able to live in a volcanic area with out spells or magic like a red dragon could.

 

[varsaigen]

well, colors don't mean specific powers. And honestly, I've seen too many half dragon designs, so it's hard to say for certain. If taken into account, it'd probably be a normal dragon being feircer. The half dragon (humanoid drahon with wings?) would be treated as any normal enemy soldeir and would probably have a more human mindset. :/

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

I would count it above normal soldier because the fact it can fly and has dragon blood in it. And when i say like color i mean element.

 

[varsaigen]

i know... but some authors, game developers give different abilities per color. :/

I know that the half dragons would fly, so tat'd make them deadlier. But overall, they are still armoured soldiers. :/

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

True.

 

[Hakeem]

I don't see the point of mixing human and dragon. At all.

 

[varsaigen]

bored wizards? Dragons and humans having stupid relationships? Mentally sick dragons messing with human forms?

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

Ya defently Wizards. We get bored and do stuff I made a Sheep ogre once it was awesome!

Half dragons probably would maintain the weaknesses of humans and also be even more physically unviable.
Yes they may be "better humans" but in real life your odds of surviving in the air are low as the fly speed would be crap + missles fly at past sonic speed.
On top of that their sizes tend to be standard human size so they are a lot weaker than proper huge dragons I would imagine, which probably would also have problems with surface to air rockets.

They are popular only because they would appeal to young kids and look a combination of cute and special in anamie and other such series and cartoons.

Honestly you would be better off being a full human with a transformation into a full dragon, like the Septums from TES4. Still pure dragons would probably be larger and stronger.

 

[varsaigen]

pure dragons would be by far, stronger than half dragons, and half dragons would still be filled with arrows, although they could be able to dodge them, being a smaller target. But they wouldn't have the stamina of a full dragon. Besides, humans would be able to go into smaller spaces than half dragons (noting how half dragons tend to be able 7-8 feet tall) :/

 

[Misha]

Lol.. in our Serbian mythology a dragon can turn into a strong, young lad and seduce a woman. xD the story goes that then a hero is born =3

 

[sacridshadow]

what the heck? That sounds terrible. A succubuss sounds better. lol Half dragons are known for their strength, not their survivability. and it has been known that dragons can transform into other animals as a way to protect themselves. lol-

 

[Misha]

mythology alters from culture to culture sacrid, your halfdragons cannot compete with serbian =3

 

[cool_is_i]

Rawr! indeed

 

[Darkbill3000]

i'd have to agree i had too many posts ealier >.> in 2008 -_- the only thing missing from life is dragons >.<

Just kidding? D: A slow and painful death above a volcano... =3

but that is too quick -_-

 

[Misha]

mhh.. just don't spam as before and it should be ok

 

[sacridshadow]

well, actually, it could be slow and painful. You don't have to be in the lava, just really close. Star Wars III, where Anikan is burned and becomes Darth Vader. That's how it can be slow and EXTREMELY painful.

 

[Misha]

Kinda agree =?

but let's get back to Dragons! >=D

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

I find it intresting how almost all dragons have like a elf or human form.

 

[Misha]

this is a bit weird... but i've seen a mecha-dragon in one anime oO

don't remember which one tho..... =?

 

[sacridshadow]

I've seen one in yu-gi-oh. lol It was cool. XD

 

[Misha]

I'm pretty sure that one i saw WASN'T in Yu-Gi-Oh =/

 

[sacridshadow]

Yu-gi-oh GX actually. It was one of the cards a certain character, I think he was the elite student there. But since I haven't watched it in a few years, I wouldn't know, nor care. and I have no plans on googling. lol

 

[Misha]

me neither >=3

 

[DarkDivinity]

most dragons turning into an elf or human are simply utilizing a polymorph spell

 

[Dr Super Good]

Dragons turning into humans is done so that humans viewing / reading can look at it more like a human than an animal. They do not need to do that for evil or bad dragons, but generally it is done the most for good dragons so that the reader / viewer gets more involved. It is because a dragon to most humans is like the lizards they kill everyday so by default they would think nothing of it, but by giving it a human side it makes them suddenly feel more for the character.

Also, often its the other way. For example in heroes of anihilated empires, you could morph into a dragon as one of the ultimate spells.

 

[Misha]

i was talking about our serbian mythology where dragon can actually TURN into a human ^.=.^

 

[sacridshadow]

hmmm, funny. That's so common. Makes you wonder WHY they become us. It sounds like we are the ultimate race that way. XD You don't see humans turning into other creatures often. lol

 

[Misha]

didn't i said why they turn into humans? xD

anyway a dragon is a dragon, even in human form

 

[DarkDivinity]

when i was talking about dragons morphing i wasnt talking from the reading-a-book-perspective; i was talking as if they were real....which reminds me a guy at my school started a Dragonology Club...crazy...

 

[Misha]

lol.. i would join that club.. for teh lulz xD

 

[sacridshadow]

Var and I know someone at our last school that loved dragons so much that he got angry when people said "Dragons are evil". XD I loved it so much when people did that.

 

[Misha]

lol.. i too love dragons, but there ARE some evil ones xD

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

MUAHAHAH!!!! *cough cough*

ANy way ya there is a guy at my school who is into the D&D stuff and likes the dragons and such.

 

[Misha]

lol.. theres a guy that likes that stuff in every school =P

 

[sacridshadow]

i know a kid in 10th grade who is still fond of Pokemon. to the point that he plays the games and talks about it, IN PUBLIC! DX

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

The game is one thing talking and watching the show is another! Mostly cause the game is okay because it keeps you from boredom and so but the show and talking about it not the smartest idea.

 

[sacridshadow]

not really. He was loud and would cuss if he Pikachu died or something like that happened. People really hated him because he's annoying in so many ways. Heck, he even hanged around me and var cause he thought we could make him cool, or... something like that.

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

There is one in every school i got one in mine who bugs me and stuff so that is why i only have a few select friends at my school don't like having people bugging me 24/7.

 

[sacridshadow]

XD what's he do?

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

Talk about it 24/7 basicly the works. This is why I only hang out with most of the emos or outcasts.

 

[Dakadoon]

right, cuz that definitely has to do wit dragons. . .

 

[Dr Super Good]

My school does not seem to have any.

 

[sacridshadow]

really? is there anyone you know in your school that is obssessed about anything? like the people we've mentioned?

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

The group is quiet get over it man Dakadoon. Any one ever notice how dragons seem to think there better then any other race?

 

[sacridshadow]

and that's often true, cause they are more powerful, have more magic (in some cases/fantasies), or can do more, or are a lot smarter than other races.

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

I know there are some things that are stronger and wiser then a Dragon but don't see them self as better then any other race.

 

[Misha]

oO is it just me or we need more dragon pictures? Oo
