Valid post, and given the scale of DnD dragons I’d say that an adventurer is about the size of a cat relative to an adult dragon. IRL, a cat being able to attack you and successfully kill you would be pretty fucked up even if it’s theoretically possible.
Incidentally however…
A cat in DnD does have the ability to reliably fight and kill a Commoner.
So what I’m saying is that it should actually be a valid plot to put humans in the position of some shitty media’s dragons- once dominant, but through the power of one especially heroic housecat who has exceptionally strong plot armour, we are reduced to a dying race, ancient and forgotten by the new era.
@MouseKeyboard someone in the thread likened humans to dragons as being like cats. This has so much potential. Like a dragon that pampers their disgruntled pet human. Who gets angry and knocks over priceless treasure when it doesn’t like what it gets for dinner. One dragon hordes a whole community of humans. One dragon has a human that kills goblins and leaves them for the dragon because it’s pretty sure the dragon doesn’t know how to feed itself.
That last line is peak human energy. Aww the widdle kitty hasn’t killed anything all week!
Leaves a deer carcass for their favorite tiger
@Maggoty we didn’t domesticate cats.
They domesticated us.
wait, does this mean that dragons think about dragon/human romances the same way we think about bee movie???
i… i need a minute,
What about donkeys?
Life uh finds a way
Under rated comment.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a human should be able to fly.
The human, of course, flies anyway, because it does not care what dragons think is impossible.

Turned into a dragon and still got her ass handed to her. Awkward!
