Updated reference sheet for Jackdaw.
An interesting pattern I've noticed
the video editing this time around was sooo good, overall the only thing I think Iāll miss is the way Gordon shot Leonard in the vod
Maybe cutting this was wrong

Ragebaiting my fat dog? More like master baiting my fat hog!!!!!!!!
āļøGreat Hog is displeased by this.
The kingly pig looks taken aback by this statement. "You claim to be 'baiting' our kind?.. A master of it, no less - after all the trust we hsve placed in you?"

obviously we know in our hearts that Jabba the Hutt is not a dragon. thatās ridiculous.
But Is Jabba A Dragon Though?
he has the body plan of a lindworm. I suppose you could argue that he is too thick to be considered āserpentineā, but he is longer than he is wide, and not entirely unlike an especially chunky gaboon viper. his upright posture distracts from the fact that heās built like an abbreviated mole lizard, which are lindworms.
and then of course he acts like a dragon. I donāt know if Star Wars uses gold or something else but whatever it is Iām sure he hordes it. eats people sometimes. disturbing taste for princesses. knights come to kick his ass.
Is Jabba A Dragon?
Jabba the Hut isnāt a dragon. He doesnāt fly. Heās more like a slug.
Ah, but he uses a hoversled, which is much like flying:
And not all creatures under the broad category ofĀ ādragonā fly. Lindworms donāt fly, neither do wyrms, drakes, sea serpents, or hydras. Lungs/Chinese dragons can fly but they donāt use wings to do it. Jabba should not be disqualified as a dragon simply because he uses repulsor technology to achieve airborne locomotion.
Jabba is unlike a slug in so many ways. He has jointed limbs, a hard internal skeleton, a skull with fixed spherical eyeballs, and no sensory tentacles or pneumostome. He is capable of facultative parthenogenesis--like komodo dragons and other squamates--continuously growing larger and living for hundreds of years hoarding wealth and power and preying on princesses. His resemblance to a slug is superficial, though we may describe him as such in an insulting fashion... like how a dragon may be called aĀ āwormā.
Also he can and does eat people.
Jabba the Hutt is a dragon and I have convinced myself of this.
No he aint bro hes a fuckin alien. dragons have to originate from the planet earth hes from a galaxy far far away.
The dragons from both The Dragonriders of PernĀ by Anne McCaffrey and The Pit Dragon Trilogy by Jane Yolen are aliens from extraterrestrial planets called Pern and Austar IV, respectively.Ā
Jabba the Hutt is a dragon.
I think you will find that Hutts lack a backbone, commonly known as a spine, which, for the most part, dragons have either litterially or figuratively.
Jabbaās motions, limbs, and posture are clearly dependent upon the use of a hard interior support system. Lacking an exoskeleton and being unable to simply squelch out of Leiaās chokehold suggests he is not simply moving around via the hydrolics of a muscular hydrostat. Besides, thereās this art from the making of The Phantom Menace:
ship this is getting dangerously close to morphological taxonomy
do you want a plucked chicken swung at you? because this is how you get a plucked chicken swung at you.
āDragonā is like āwormā, in my opinion. Itās not a taxonomy because the variety of creatures referred to as āwormsā donāt even belong to related phylums. A horsehair worm and a nightcrawler are not related but they share an innate āworminessā. A velvet worm has many legs and is still counted as a worm-thing. Like Iāve said before, āwormā isnāt a taxonomy; itās a lifestyle.
Dragons are the same way. Itās an umbrella term, and while some irritating pedants insist that only a four-legged creature with words god can be considered a dragon, they only say that to make sure everyone in the room knows that they know what a wyvern is. Wyverns and lindworms and amphitheres are obviously all under the dragon umbrella.
If these things are dragons, then ādragonā is as fluid a category as āwormā:
Jabba has more stereotypical ādragon traitsā than some dragons do. He doesnāt hit every point, but a dragon is a worm is a dragon is a worm.
My general position is that the use of the word "dragon" to encompass all these disparate creatures is a bad thing and a relic of eurocentric colonialism. A Chinese Long is not the same thing as an English Dragon, nor is a wyvern or an amphithere, and calling them "dragons" belies the cultural differences in which these disparate creatures arose.
In terms of narrative purpose and lifestyle, Janba fills the role that a Dragon does in many stories, however. I would argue Jabba is a dragon in the same sense that a Tsuchigumo is.
I think enforcing a strict cultural differentiation would eliminate most dragons from fiction. Fiction, which supplies most modern dragons, does not stick to a strict historical consistency in dragon-depiction, either visually or behaviorally.
Take, for example, theĀ dragons from The Last Airbender. Theyāre clearly dragons, as they breathe fire and have wings, but theyāre also more like elemental spirits that visually and behaviorally resemble lungs more than they resemble, say, Smaug. Do their similarities to lungs disqualify them from dragonhood?
Also, itās not like the medieval Welsh concept of aĀ ādragonā evolved in a vacuum. There are mythical creatures from around the world that bear strong resemblances to That Specific Creature Which We Are Apparently Now Inisisting Is The Only True Dragon. Welsh and British folklore was surely being influenced by mythology from disparate cultures.Ā
I am firmly against declaring wyvernsĀ ānot dragonsā because even in British cultural history, the distinction only arose out of the technicalities of heraldry, not folklore or even art.Ā
The only thing that Jabba lacks in terms of dragon qualifications: the innately obviousĀ ādragony-nessā that makes most people take one look and goĀ āoh yeah thatās a dragonā. But i donāt think that thatās a REQUIREMENT of dragon-hood. Like, what the fuck is that thing down there?
That thing does not have innate dragony-ness to me. It looks like a turtle with tentacles.Ā
But, while I think the answer toĀ ācan we consider Jabba the Hutt to be a dragonā is yes, no one has asked whether or not Jabba would consider himself to be a dragon.
thereās a whole list on wookiepedia of dragons in star wars and it turns out thereās a bunch of creatures that haveĀ ādragonā in their name and they all have quite a lot of dragony-ness but also none of them seem to reach anything beyond semi-sentience. So maybe Jabba has enough dragon-y qualities to be considered a dragon, but he himself would be insulted if you called him one.
