Oh, i don't know much about like lyca-

YOU WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE LYCANS!?

Lycantropy is a dramatic shift into a more animalistic appearing form triggered by external stimuli. This event always triggers an extreme surge in appetite, and lowers the host's cognitive abilities , overpowering them with stronger "instincts" for the duration.(*)

Documented cases of lycans include:

wolves - full moon shift - territorial

bears - cloudless noons - foraging

Iguana - thunderstorms - rest

Crow - strong winds - hording

Rabbit - high stress - panic

Spider - darkness - craftsmanship

Beaver - the sound of flowing water - stopping the sound of flowing water.

Snake - heat - burrowing

Boar - overeating - rage

Rat - condition contested(**) - teathing

Turtle - boredom - well... (***)

Drakolycans, despite having lycan in the name, are considered their own thing, as they are capable of switching at will and without cognitive decline.

* with the exception of turtles, with some claiming lack of self control and others claiming lack of focus. Yet more claim they do not experience any change in mindset whatsoever.

** the current leading theory is discomfort, although some rats have shifted and later claimed no distress at moment of shift, and other rats have been in extreme discomfort without shifting.

Can be kept as pet?: are you a lumberjack?

Ok. So. I regularly work with reality bending eldridge abominations, creatures that can enter your mind and yet aren't intelligent enough to know what they're doing in there, and things they could fit a small village in their mouth and hardly notice.

Those are fine, this is the dragon that scares me.

These things have three sets of jaws with serrated teeth, their shoulders stand above my head, live in packs of up to twenty, and are durable enough to regularly have trees fall on them.

If you do not have liquid limbs or the ability to teleport, you will NOT break free if this dragon bites you. Its main outer jaw is built to grip onto tree trunks, while the inner pair of jaws alternate biting and pulling back to saw through the wood, and its teeth do not care if it has locked on to wood, bone, or MYTHRAL.

Conservation status: least concern (domesticated)

Can be kept as pet?: YES! I would actually recommend it over a cat.

Docile species that love humans. Even before their domestication they were known to approach human settlements and behave as a form of community cooking fire. The name is kind of unfortunate.

These dragons love soup. They domesticated themselves entirely because we knew how to make soup, and they could cook it for us. By astonishing coincidence, the small blade on the end of their tail functions as a natural can opener.

These dragons produce a short, but high temperature flame out of holes along their spine. They will happily curl themselves into a disk beneath a pot or around a cauldron even without training.

Can be kept as pet?: Are you a foreman?

These eighteen-limbed drakes are often seen scuttling, flapping, laying, and charging through the country from kingdom to kingdom, bringing resources from one place to another.

These dragons store resources in five of their eight stomachs, or what used to be stomachs. Only one stomach actually digests its food, five stomachs are devoted to storing things this dragon has swallowed, previously for it to projectile vomit as a breath weapon, though selective breeding has reduced only one stomach to being able to fulfill this role. The two remaining stomachs are filled with a rotting slurry where are fungus grows inside of this dragon, which it proceeds to feed on when hungry.

Although there is space on the back of this dragon for dozens of people to ride it, it is most common to only have one rider to keep it on track from place to place, as it's usefulness to humans has come at the cost of its intelligence, leading it to often get distracted or stuck in holes that are clearly too small for it.

Can be kept as pet?: the goldfish of the dracology world.

Attracted to wishing wells, coin fountains, donation tubs, vending machines, ATMs and similar collections to large amounts of loose change, this gecko-like dragon is capable of breathing underwater and is often kept in medium to large tanks or terrariums for good luck in some restaurants. They are also popular as a decorative pet, as they come in gold, silver, copper, and brass variants, with the latter two being known to turn green or black with age.

They are mild-mannered and equally happy alone or with a flock, and will grow to match the size of their available hoard, however, they do not like to be separated, and will not shrink if their hoard disappears.
