#### New Animal: Dragon

Dragons are awsome!!! Can anybody think of what they would harvest/drop though? (drop not plop)

- I would think that dragons would accept currants and not give anything back, except maybe burn you with fire breath.

- Dragons could give out.... TREASURE! Maybe there would only be a few, scattered throughout the world (deep in the caves, of course), and if you fed them the right thing... and petted and praised them... and didn't piss them off so they didn't breath fire on you... maybe they would spit out some kind of cool little piece of treasure that we could display in our new homes!
  I LOVE dragons. I would love to see them in game somehow.
  EDIT: I've always loved the intelligent dragons that you see in some stories. Maybe we could also go visit the dragon(s) and talk to them -- and maybe get a bit of "wisdom" from them that would increase our imagination? And then every once in a while they would give out treasure, but not very often. IDK, I would go visit a dragon every day if there was one in the game, whether or not it gave me anything!!

- if they did add dragons, we know that they'd be nothing like typical dragons.
  and no, dragons are not animals. it's a matter of trying to pull a mythological being into a real scientific analysis. it's not to be done. dragons are dragons. if you want to force a genus/species on them, it doesn't work. they do not exist and are not in the animal kingdom.

- What's the problem with adding animals that aren't "real"? There is already precedence for it in the game -- batterflies aren't exactly a normal animal. Pretty sure they don't have a genus or species :)
  Overall this is a fanciful game and I think there is plenty of room for fanciful creatures.

- Well, just to be pedantic, they would clearly in the kingdom Animalia; they would almost certainly be chordates (phylum) and in the subphylum of vertebrates. So totally animals. But your point, more generally taken is that they don't exist as creatures that that live or once lived within the existing animal kingdom; but not that they don't fit the category of "animal." It's just that they are a mythological/non-existent animal. And as Clarabelle says, that's not a problem for this game.
  Please stop me before I start talking about ideal and fictional worlds and the different concepts of existence.
  tl;dr: just because they're imaginary doesn't mean they don't have properties that can be categorized.

- what Scarlett and Clarabelle said ^^^
  If this forum were on the Journal of Animal Science site well sure - but since we're here on Glitch I'm more than comfortable classifying Dragons, English-speaking Bureaucrocs, Dragon Weasels, Miniature Donkey Dragons and the ever-so-rare Grizzled Aardvark Dragon as animals.
