Many things may seem like "wahoo" from the perspective of the "Tolkien Tradition", but are extremely commonplace and normal within a different tradition. Dragonborn a great example of such a thing, I think. People with dragon heads may be "monsters" within the classic Tolkien-esque fantasy tradition rooted in Norse myth, but they are nonetheless very common in various other kinds of fantasy works, and are perfectly normal within the "talking/humanoid animals" tradition that dates back to prehistoric times in various cultures.</blockquote>
