[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 9167940, member: 82524"] Dragons are immortal parasites that don't make anything on their own, but watch cultures and societies rise up around them that produce all sorts of stuff that they want to consume and will possibly become fixated on mimicking. So I'd see dragons divided based on their cultural fixations. Crafter Dragons are like giant dwarves; obsessed with Making things that last; excellent workmanship that is both beautiful and functional and Done Right. They cultivate forest just to get a white oak with just the right grain and spend weeks planing the same piece of stone to create a countertop whose level is measured in microns. Husbandry Dragons are fixated on domestication and animal breeding. Their lairs are surrounded by vast lush preserves where they breed the greatest, most powerful dire animals and drakes and maybe the kind of drake which is a male duck as well. A thousand years of selective breeding: that how we got owlbears. Entertainer Dragons are obsessed with the mortal forms of music, dance and storytelling. They write plays and songs unique to instruments of their own creation and capture or coerce bands and troupes to play out their creations, even swooping down upon a town to use as a captive audience. Culinary Dragons are perplexed by the complex pallet of creatures who cannot simply be sated by eating rocks and gems and live livestock. Cooking is new and novel to them and they try every combination--edible by mortals or not. Some seek only to sate themselves while others pick a species and seek to create the perfect meal both in taste, presentation and nutrition for them. Comfort Dragons eschew sleeping on hard gold or stone floors. They've seen the wonders of interior decoration and their desire is for tasteful chambers furnished and lavish with fabrics and art. They cultivate caverns full of giant silk worms and sheep and rocs to stuff their cushions, and employ armies of mortal experts to create for them. [/QUOTE]
