[image description: a comic starring a dragon furry who has somewhat transparent skin and a large eye.

dragon, talking to someone offscreen: How long have I lived here? For forever, I was born here. Well, I say "born," but I was more, like... duplicated? cloned?

dragon: You know how some lizards can shed their tails? In some cases the tail goes and grows a body.

An example of this is shown, with the formed body having transparent skin, showing veins or nerves that stem from the shed tail.
