Was At The Corner Store Getting A Few Snacks And A 7 Year Old With A Single Packet Of Two Poptarts Struck

was at the corner store getting a few snacks and a 7 year old with a single packet of two poptarts struck up a conversation with me while I was choosing between Chex mix flavors. weighed in on the flavors. They continued to follow me through the store all the way to checkout and stood there talking to me at the register so the cashier thought they were my kid and I finally said “are you possibly hoping for someone to buy those poptarts” and they pulled out a WAD of cash and said “nope just talking to ya.”

absolutely enchanting child no notes

Also someone asked me what's up with their horns. My email on the site is all wonky and I'm not verified so I can't respond directly, so I hope this works!

The horns, while looking similar to antlers, actually are more similar to the classic bovine horns. Most dragon horns have a bony core and a keratin sheath, though the size of both vary from type to type. In the case of mountain dragons, the bone is mostly in the main horn, with little nubbins that lead into the tines. The horns above and in front of the eye though are mostly bone.

I totally forgot that I drew this a couple weeks ago and then never shared it so uh….

MOUNTAIN DRAGON BLAST

This male Black-shouldered mountain dragon (Mahannparvatotyrannus nirgahumera- meaning black shouldered great mountain lord) is currently displaying his might, either as an aggressive sign towards a rival or as a defensive sign against a larger dragon.

Mountain dragons are some of the largest dragons in Murrellia, though some true dragons are heavier, and there may be one or two coastal dragons with longer wingspans, and the Tiamat is longer,but a mountain dragon is still massive.

Mountain dragons hunt smaller dragons, large dinosaurs and mammals, and other megafauna. They are highly territorial, with one male and female often sharing a territory.

Nests are made deep in mountain caves and kept warm by their parent’s ambient temperature. Around 20-30 eggs are laid, and once they hatch, adults care for them for about the first year of their lives. By then, the young are about the size of a man and venture out of their parents’ cave to fend for themselves. Young begin life hunting smaller prey than adults, chasing goats across the mountains and stalking deer in the forests and foothills. Young are tolerated in their parents territory until they are a little over half-sized, when they begin to hunt the same prey as adults.

Adults hunt by soaring above and diving upon prey, using the force and speed to knock them over and crush them, and if that doesn’t kill them, a mountain dragon’s powerful jaws will.

While full grown mountain dragons largely ignore people and even large livestock, juvenile and especially sub-adult mountain dragons are especially dangerous, being large and unruly. Mountain dragons living near settlements often have their young culled.

While mountain dragons are fierce and territorial and the means of many myths, they are largely benign and even pleasant to be around if you give them space. Some small towns and settlements have been known to set up in the territories of mountain dragons to defend themselves from other large dragons that hunt them, their livestock, and their food stores. Mountain dragon lairs are also often full of bats and other small cave dwellers that seek their warmth. Even large mammals, such as bears and sloths, have been found to live in the smaller side caverns and tunnels.

The idea that dragons collect treasure in their lairs actually comes from an old form of worship some regions used to perform where they would bring gold and food and other gifts to the mountain dragon they lived under. Dragons can be shocklingly intelligent, and there are several anecdotes of villagers swearing that “their” dragon recognized them and saved them from animal attacks or other dangers. Whether these are true or not has yet to be determined, but the stories are frequent and spread out enough through space and time that they may have some merit. This being said, there are also plenty of stories of people getting in their personal space and being burned to crisp, so perhaps it is best to simply treat these animals with respect.
