Paraplegic Dragon

[Doomsdaisy]

If a dragon was a paraplegic, would that mean that it wouldn't have wings?

Would a paraplegic dragon just be a big snake with a breath weapon?

Heh. A dragon in a giant wheelchair...

Heh heh...

It might not have any wings. Parapalegic means you are missing two limbs, if you consider wings limbs, and if those limbs he is missing are his wings, then yes, he'd be missing wings.

Quadrapalegic means missing four limbs. I suppose hexapalegic would mean missing six, in which case he'd definitely be short a pair of wings. Now, why a DM would want to create a hexapalegic Dragon is beyond me, and please don't let BADD hear about it!

Like a woma ... *ahem* just like a regular flamethrower it would need a strong man in control to function properly.

What do you call a Hexapalegic Dragon in the middle of the ocean?

Bob.

"paraplegic
adj : suffering complete paralysis of the lower half of the body usually resulting from damage to the spinal cord n : a person who has paraplegia (is paralyzed from the waist down) "



Why would it be missing said limbs?

 

[Nightfall]

Cause most dragons have access to clerical magics. I don't believe regenerate was one of them.

NO! I have a very good friend who is a quadrapalegic and he has all four limbs, thank you! He just can't use them. He also gets by very well, again thank you!

What springs to mind when I imagine a parapalegic dragon is one that flys as its only form of locomotion (I'm not counting crawling).

Oops, please disregard my definiteions then.

So, what is it when you are missinga pair of limbs?
