Tooth and claw, while dangerous, are more of a backup or filler attack option when the breath weapon can't be used.Flying should be a dragons primary mode of movement. Getting a dragon into the air dramatically reshapes the encounter. It changes the pacing, the parties formations, the strategies, and it really defines what fighting a dragon should be about.But flying, is never emphasized enough. It might be that the flying rules are a pain, or perhaps the metagame keeps monsters at swords length. But whatever the reason is, when a dragon isn't flying, the encounter isn't as good as it could have been.</blockquote>
