Not really. But if the 'Big "D"' can make himself look to be a human,
anything is possible. (Story in a Shadowrun promotional had Dunkelzahn
show up at Harlequin's place, and he made himself look human so he could
fit. It's one of FASA's con-thingies...)

I never really got into using dragons. (I tried once, the dropped a
virtual tac-nuke on it. The dragon in question was to be a major player in
the game. ***sigh***) But I figure it uses a mass-telepathy >AND< moves
it's 'mouth' as if to speak. This for when it looks in a homo-sapien-
whatever form.

Just a thought
