I am not a dragon, but I have a human problem. Advice?

Greetings cousins. I am Narjen, and I am a Naka. I will not be surprised if you have not heard of my kind as we largely den underground and are a very private people to begin with. We are a breed of feathered serpent not unlike the great Couatl, except with hoods, scaled bodies, cold blood, and a size much smaller than a human. Nonetheless, if we are kin to the Couatl, then we are kin to you, therefore I hope it is not too brazen of me to invite myself into your social network.

I beseech dragon kind today regarding a young human that has, by strange circumstances, fallen into my coils. The brute actually attempted to kidnap me, snatching me by the neck whilst I was washing in a <bird bath> at a jungle shrine and stuffing me in a sack. As to what it planned to do with me, I am uncertain. Likely it wished to sell me on a mages market, or simply desired to cram my face into a cheese cloth and milk me for venom. But whatever the case, it did not get far before trodding upon a fairy ring and was shrunk on the spot by the enraged fey inhabiting it. I crawled out of the sack to find my stunned captor sitting among the folds of its own wrappings, no larger than a mouse, at my complete and total mercy.

I suppose the fairies assumed I would eat the home wrecker, because they did not stop me from taking him off there… paws…? claws…? What do you call their…? Never mind. But the point is that I did not kill the human. I took back to my colony for the Elders to pass judgment upon it, and I ultimately though, they opted to leave its fate to ME to decide, So now, here I am! With the little bastard in my coils and not a CLUE what to do with it. I don’t want to kill it, honestly. It’s practically a fledgling. So how should I punish it then? What would be fair? I suppose keeping it prisoner is a good start, but then how do I take care for it? What does a human even need?

I understand that dragons often find themselves in custody of humans themselves, so please great ones, what advice would you have for me?

Oh Hai.

It’s a snake with wings. That’s basically a dragon, right?

House of the Dragon (but it's Eastern Dragons)

How down would you be for a show similar to House of the Dragon but it's Eastern Set (I.e. "Oriental Fantasy") written around Eastern Dragons and their different kinds of abilities etc? Just a thought

Theradorus & Penelope update: I AM A DADDY!

MY FRIENDS, MY JOY KNOWS NO BOUNDS! Tonight, this GLORIOUS moonlit night, my dear Penelope has fought valiantly the terrible, bloody battle of human child birth, and has emerged weary but ALIVE and VICTORIOUS. And through her ordeal, our SON has she brought into this world! 🥹A beautiful, healthy, human boy! Oh, he’s so tiny. I could shout aloud, my friends! I could SING for the whole world to hear! Jubilations! JUBILATIONS!!!

  • Theradorus DiamondHeart, Exceedingly Jubilant Father.

😂For those of you who missed the big, happy dragon shouting, “Jubilation! Jubilations” at 1 in the morning while doing somersaults in the sky, 🎉ITS A BOY! 🎉 🥲Theodore DiamondHeart Jr is now a part of the family. He’s here in my arms right now. No horns, no tail, but I wouldn’t care if he had any of that. 🥹He’s just so wonderful.

😅 I’m a bit wiped out right now. Really took it out of me. But we got the O.K. from Teddy’s parents to invite some folks onto the territory, so friends of Theradorus, you can come meet the little guy yourself! I’ll get my goofy hubby to make some official invitations as soon as he’s done frolicking🤣. Just remember, the baby shower’s gonna be a mixed species party, 😊so watch your feet, big fellas!

So about my dragon riders

From what I've seen here, some people here do not like dragon riders. My question is, would you read about these dragon riders?

In my world, the humanoids are descendants of dragons. There are an equal number of dragons and riders, and they are bonded from the moment of hatching. As they age, their bond matures and strengthens, so that they each gain special abilities - the humanoids receive health benefits, strength boosts, and their magic is strengthened, while the dragons become faster, their fire (or ice, or lightning, or venom or whatever) gets more potent, they gain greater flying skill and a form of protective shielding.

Rights are equal, most dragons wear saddles but it's voluntary and mostly to prevent riders from falling off (as there is a general size range of 60-230 feet, with one species regularly reaching 400 feet, and the odd weird mutant hybrid ascending to a thousand feet long before he was killed long before to reaching full growth).

Regional councils report to the government to ensure dragons have the food and space provisions they require.

Is this an appealing system?

Drawing I did at school

Hi,this is my first time posting here. I've never shared my art with people,but after joining this subreddit I thought others might like my drawings. I'm still learning (and I don't go to art school),so if anyone has some useful advice I'm listening. (English is not my first language,so I'm sorry if I made any mistakes.)

Is It Bad That I Like Humans?

Sooooo... I know dragons should hate humans (according to the status quo), but I think they are adorable and cute! I think if we worked together we could do great things, but I know other dragons will see me as a freak.

Is it really so bad that I want to work alongside them?

I met one in the woods and learned how to do some basic communication with them by drawing in the dirt. They seem to also want cooperation and friendship.

What's the dragon wing elbow bone thingy?

I've seen a lot of art in which dragons are represented with a weird spike coming out from their wing elbows. What is it supposed to be? An extra digit? Ñ
