Hmm. The comment was raised once before, I believe, about the taxonomy of
the dracoform species. Now I have checked my rulebook, and am not *quite* so
foolish as to maintain that there is a link between (meta)humanity and
dracoforms, but when I read that particular comment, I was misled... and the
overtures of such thinking have given me great amusement.

Can you imagine the hapless little Oklahoma family that has little Suzy, who
was foolin' around with a stranger 'bout 9 mos. ago, deliverin' a dragon egg
instead of a human? Or for that matter, a liveborn dragon? The comic
potential is enormous, if impractical. I'd love to do an Enquirer-style
article on it.

But the "low-mana" swings would give rise to interesting things in such a
scenario. Where did the dragons go? They reverted to human beings,
naturally. Simply shapechanged and got on with their lives, switching
communities every so often so that the locals didn't get too suspicious. Not
only possible, but a technique nearly every really bad vampire novel *still*
employs. This, too, might make for an amusing story/episode -- a dragon's
"coming out" into the 6th world -- wouldn't his girlfriend be *shocked*?
