Cute Russian comic. The home of the official English version is here if anyone wants to skip ahead (or support them): https://boosty.to/gabiconomics-en
Low-skilled labour refers to types of work that do not require specialized knowledge, extensive training, or prior experience. These jobs typically involve simple, repetitive tasks and are often the entry point into the workforce.
Can’t believe everyone’s just letting this slide. Dragons are reptiles. Reptiles don’t have mammary glands. That’s the real controversy here, people.
"Dragons are reptiles" Ehhhhh... I mean the first ever creatures to be referred to as "drakon" are just big snakes, so yes, but every others ? They're chimeras with reptiles and non-reptile elements, so I don't think they can be properly classified. The Drac from occitan folklore is for example almost always depicted with mammal-like ears.
Even the Welsh Ddraig has ears, you ca see it on their flag:
I think this remained common until recently, when people started taking Darwin's orginin of species into account and make dragons that might nicely fit into a classification of species.
Bat wings an horns are also traits borrowed to mammals. Not strictly "mammalian traits" because we can find examples of reptiles that have had similar features, but clearly these medieval people didn't think "It's a mix between a dimorphodon and a carnotaurus !".
This chimera aspect is even more important and Chinese dragons which are described with nine ressemblances:
~quote attributed to Wang Fu, via Wikipedia.
Of these nine animals, only the snake is commonly understood as a reptile. Cladistically speaking, the eagle is also one, but that's still only two out of nine. And four mammals (assuming the demon isn't one... I'll take it it's also non-classifiable).
So, dragons aren't strictly speaking reptiles, and giving them mammalian traits is acceptable and trivial.
Dragons are actually more closely related to chickens than to snakes.
The scalies would be very upset at you if they could read
h-hey i can read
I don’t know what those are, but they should be informed of this biological fact.
They're furries but for scales.
Not every furry is all-in on fur.
Is it so much to ask to make sexy reptiles without big gazongas?
This is just further evidence for the Argonian hypothesis
Reality check: You will NEVER enjoy a warm refreshing glass of lizard milk.
Counterpoint, cold lizard milk:
I miss when Sobe was still in glass bottles. I stopped drinking them when they switched to plastic. Just don't taste the same.
oh shit-
it's just an adaptation, like protective coloration
