Things For Intelligent Dragons To Do
From The Writerium - the wiki for writers
Writers sometimes seem to have a difficult time getting their heads about what a highly intelligent non-humanoid dragon does with itself all day.
So what do they do? How do they entertain themselves? What kind of constructive things do they do?
- Chase cows for fun
- Arrange rocks into artistic configurations
- Hunt for rocks
- Explore the world
- Geology
- Astronomy
- Astrology
- Philosophy
- Memorize/make up poetry
- Study other species/cultures
- Mine for gold using flame
- Enslave the puny humanoids
- Make maps of the world from a dragon's-eye-view (including notes on winds and weather patterns)
- Play dragon checkers or dragon chess with all that treasure they've accumulated. (Or use other handy objects, such as rocks, if they don't hoard treasure.)
- Hold strength/endurance contests.
- Gamble with their treasure.
- Chase screaming people around town
- Kidnap princesses
- Play Halo 3
- Hold debates with other intelligent dragons
- Create RPGs where the Dragon gets to rescue the princess and slay the prince.
