shadens and dragons have complicated history. But largely, a very.... Sexual history! When u have 2 species that are pretty much compatible with anyone, they're bound to get each other.
In this case, shadens have an extra fear response to danger which is... Arguably? Busting a nut. This works because dragons are dtf and will find a sexual encounter more fulfilling than hunting prey(food) and will stop hunting in favor of getting off.
This dude now dedicates his life to drawing fat dragon girl erotica in hopes of finding her again lol
In my ocverse, dragons are known as true shape changers, NO they dont usually look like that. She was trying to hunt him in a distracting manner(to eat him)
No one will believe him when he says he was spared by a big tiddy dragon babe bcuz he nutted on her fat tits out of fear
