Dragons: Slay or befriend?

[Wintermoot]

having a dragon friend isn't as cool as dragon scale armor.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

I would capture it and use it as my own personal mount, or use its abilities to my own advantage. I don't care if it likes me or not, so "befriend" is a bit misleading. Oh, and the first sign of treachery, its head is going on a mantelpiece.

 

[Ursus Buckler]

Befriend it, definitely. I'd rather have the reputation of owning a dragon, having something that could fly and turn people I don't like into charcoal than the reputation of killing one.

Befriend! Obviously!

I mean, I'd much rather be friends with an ancient and majestic creature than slay one! Why would anyone want to do that if you have the option of befriending it?!

Befriend. a) Pet dragon, fucking awesome 2. lower heating bills in the winter iii) If my animes have taught me anything it that dragons know magic and will teach it to humans it likes.

Out of curiosity, which anime would these be, and do they have a good english dub?

I was specifically referring to Fairy Tail where the main character was raised by a dragon. I believe it is currently being dubbed but i cannot speak to quality.

I roll to seduce the dragon!

Um... It can't shape shift.

I know ^.~ MUHUHUHUH!

Seriously though, "One's a witty redhead with a smooth temper, one's a flying fire-lizard who can devour a cow whole. Together: THEY FIGHT CRIME!"

Depends on the dragon, but in all honesty, I have a huge weakness for treasure piles. Let's say, usually slay, but I agree with dragonheart movie.

 

[SpaceBat]

If my life is in no danger and I can actually befriend the dragon, then I'm definitely going for befriending!

What does slaying the dragon get you? Fame, glory and women? You'd get that by befriending the dragon as well AND you'd get to talk to it, learn the language (etc.), ride it into the sky and name yourself the dragon rider or some other awesome shit.

I mean seriously, who here wouldn't want to just jump onto a dragon and fly high into the sky?

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

Are we talking dragons that can shape-shift? Cause I could totally go for "befriending" a dragon. But only if they were shape-changed into human form - I'm not particularly attracted to scales.

If not... eh, kill it, I guess. Clearly a dragon that can't shape shift isn't awesome enough to be my lover - er, friend.

*sigh* Is there any thread I comment on that you're NOT in? XD

I kind of have to agree with my Princess friend here. I'd much rather be buddies with a dragon than fight one. Then again, I'm not much of a hero type. I do what I think is right, not because I want fame and fortune and whatnot.

Also, female shapeshifter dragon could have some possibilities. XD

EDIT: I also remember taking a "Which dragon are you?" personality test, and I ended up being a gold dragon. I can live with that. Guess gold would be my best shot at being friends.

 

[Rnr1224]

definitely try to tame it. riding a dragon to school would be insanely badass!

 

[dickywebster]

Befriend, seriously, trying to kill its more effort than its worth whereas befriending it gets you at least a wise friend, at best a mount so you can laugh at those guys who think horses are a sign of wealth.
