Ah, mr. Shadow..Are dragons indeed reptilian? if this were the case then
ideed you are correct. But if they are more like the fast moving and more
intelligent dinosaurs of yester-year, they will have the larger eye
cavities. Reptiles cannot survive into the cool regions without
hibernation, or without artificial heat to keep them active. Sir I see no
evidense of this in that as a member of the Dragon Watch Society, we have
pictures of Draconis Occedentalis IN THE WINTER. Also if your surmise is
correct, the first attack anyone should make is that of cold, which would
slow down the draconis to a mere few attacks per round, or totally stump
them when there blood became to thick to function in the cranal areas...
So I believe that Draconis is not a reptile. I think that instead we need
to look further up the evolutionary tree to another form from whence
reptiles and dinosaurs may have evolved from.
