Wow, now THAT is a great idea! Just like the Elves and Orks were trapped
in the bodies of Humans, the Dragons were trapped in the bodies of
fearsome, but mundane, animals. That's a good good idea; it would
really add a little bit of depth to the term "Awakening" as well as
explain the lack of any kind of fossil record or "discovery" of
dragonkind. I like that.
