Dragon all the way. Pet disnosaur could just be a chicken, but Dragons are always cool!
If you want a dino, go buy a bird. They’re literally dinosaurs. Dragon 100%.
You can pick whichever dinosaur you want though, if they want a chicken I'm cool with that, but its a boring choice.
Could I have Dravid the Davidosaur?
They're literally dinosaurs in the same way that humans and other vertebrates are literally fish. Which is to say you can describe them that way taxonomically, but the saying "birds are literally dinosaurs" is misleading and disingenuous.
Awesome user name.
But I can't agree. While some birds have evolved well away from their roots, others haven't changed much at all, and should realistically count. Not just the rhea either.
I bet you put tomatoes in fruit salad don't you?
You know, that sounds pretty yummy ;)
Is this the shapeshifting, intelligent kind of dragon? Because I wouldn’t want it as a pet but as a friend. That’s way nicer than having something that all my neighbors will treat the same way so many bigots treat pit bulls.
Are we talking magic wielding fully sentient dragons (forgotten realms style) or animal like simple dragons? The first type could keep humans as pets.
Not fully sentient, smart enough to understand each other's body language, but not to have conversations with, no magic.
Oh ok so, it boils down to fire breathing flying awesome dinosaurs or plain boring dinosaurs.
First one would be way cooler, but a little bit disaster prone. Would still go with that one though. I’ll take the risk figure something out. Should probably get a house built out of stone.
Simple dragons are just snakes with bowel obstructions so the pigeon they ate fermented and then a peasant stepped on it at night (so they were carrying a torch) and it popped and the fumes made a teensy boom. That's how people invented dragons ipso facto oceans 11s razor.
LOL. That way pretty brutal. 🤣
First iteration of the myth was rats but then I remembered dragons have wings and they (peasants) probably got scared by the pop, came back a year later and found the pigeon wings in the snake skeleton. Rats got no wings.
I have pet dinosaurs already. It's pretty fucking awesome.
That being said, Dragon. But only because my kid really likes them.
Not that I would let the kid ever touch the dragon, I just want to point and call them noob when they ask to, then do my "I have a dragon and you don't" dance, then fly into the sky with it.
Dragon. Not sure which type though.
Might just go with Tiamat.
I think I go dinosaur and pick a small one. I don't wanna feed a damn dragon.
Raptors seem like a good pick, I could train it to guard my house, and it probably wont cost a million dollars a month to feed.
I'm guessing that you'd need a big backyard for either .. so I'm out.
What about this one?
Very cute .. I don't even have space for the little rodent, let alone a distant cousin ten times its size.
With a dragon any backyard is your backyard.
Never mess with a dragon. You are soft, tender and taste good with ketchup.
Hmm .. I confess that I really appreciate and enjoy the company of the neighbours all around me .. although there is one .. let me work on that ..
No I don't I taste good with bearnaise I'm a fancy human
Nope. I’m good.
