You’ll mentally bond with whichever one you pick so they won’t kill you and you’ll be able to train them.

    If you want a dino, go buy a bird. They’re literally dinosaurs. Dragon 100%.

    Is this the shapeshifting, intelligent kind of dragon? Because I wouldn’t want it as a pet but as a friend. That’s way nicer than having something that all my neighbors will treat the same way so many bigots treat pit bulls.

    Are we talking magic wielding fully sentient dragons (forgotten realms style) or animal like simple dragons? The first type could keep humans as pets.

      Simple dragons are just snakes with bowel obstructions so the pigeon they ate fermented and then a peasant stepped on it at night (so they were carrying a torch) and it popped and the fumes made a teensy boom. That’s how people invented dragons ipso facto oceans 11s razor.

          First iteration of the myth was rats but then I remembered dragons have wings and they (peasants) probably got scared by the pop, came back a year later and found the pigeon wings in the snake skeleton. Rats got no wings.

      Not fully sentient, smart enough to understand each other’s body language, but not to have conversations with, no magic.

        Oh ok so, it boils down to fire breathing flying awesome dinosaurs or plain boring dinosaurs.

        First one would be way cooler, but a little bit disaster prone. Would still go with that one though. I’ll take the risk figure something out. Should probably get a house built out of stone.

  • I have pet dinosaurs already. It’s pretty fucking awesome.

    That being said, Dragon. But only because my kid really likes them.

    Not that I would let the kid ever touch the dragon, I just want to point and call them noob when they ask to, then do my “I have a dragon and you don’t” dance, then fly into the sky with it.

    I think I go dinosaur and pick a small one. I don’t wanna feed a damn dragon.

    Raptors seem like a good pick, I could train it to guard my house, and it probably wont cost a million dollars a month to feed.
