Why do humans not like reptiles?

[Silverscale derg]

Posted previously on this, but decided to come back around again. Not all people don't like reptiles. I came dangerously close to becoming a Herpetologist. I know people who don't like amphibians, or who don;t like spiders, I even know one who it terrified of birds (too much Alfred Hitchcock?)

I myself don't like anfibs because they're imposters especially the "spring lizard" I have found out about, called a lizard but is a salamander...why ust why?

Very eloquent, Dragon.

The way you find my cave is to find a lake that shimmers blue, 5 trees form the coast in a pattern, there is a stump from when there was 6 trees but the stump holds a knife made out of one of our tails that detached. To the north in the mountains you will find a cave, the one that houses me

Anoles change from green to brown depending on the background they are on. Just like chameleons and octopi. They are both the same animal
That aside, this belongs in the jokes area maybe?

Green and brown anoles are classed as different species you know. The "cuban" anole or whatever humans like to say to split them in different groups like they do with Canadian wolves...they're wolves. It doesn't matter. They are in theory the same animal. Why would you think a question this serious regarding the well being of a sub species be considered a joke to be in the joke area?

Probably because you're pretending to be a dragon.

It's obvious you're just going to give me the run-around. First it was "all you have to do is ask", and then when I ask it's "all you have to do is answer a riddle in my cave", and then when I ask about the cave it's the good ol' magic-eight-ball reply of "Reply hazy try again."

I gave a post about the location somewhere in here.

It's only confusing if you are just that ignorant. Is what I said really that hard to understand?



What are you, 12? What rock have you been living under for the past 30+ years?



Well that much is clear or else you'd know there was no dragons in the game until the fifth game, Skyrim. Something about people in universe thinking they were just stories until that point in the storyline.



Actually no, a wyvern has the head of a dragon but the body of a reptile. It's mostly from modern fantasy that they have been confused for one another. It would be like saying a snake is a lizard.



No, therian is someone who thinks they are an animal. You're an otherkin since you think you're something that's fictional. Actually apparently the real, original definition of Therian is apparently "mammal of the major group Theria" when I looked it up. So explain to me how you're a mammal.

I'm not ignorant. I'm not 12...I know but still...skyrim ruined that for me. Wyverns are dragons...UGH what do you think dragons are then? What other type of creature has scales and lives on land if not reptiles? Westerns are reptiles, easterns are reptiles but border on more fish like, and wyverns are westerns with only two legs...A flaw in that. Some lizards don't have legs...such as in the case you made for wyverns not being dragons. Legless lizards exist...the difference between them and snakes are them having eyelids but just like wyverns who don't have all four legs does it make the lizard any less of a lizard for not having legs?

I'm a therian...not an otherkin. Fine by definition i'm not because i'm not a mammal but regardless it's a better name than otherkin and I already have the mark. I'm a reptile not a mammal. Dragons are real you know

Probably because you're pretending to be a dragon.

I'm not pretending to be a dragon, i''m a therian shifted to respond as my dragon spirit.

 

[The Kilted Heathen]

Yeah and I'm Sigrund come again.

The question is who you're looking to impress. What goal could there possibly be to claiming (pretending) to be a mythical creature that was a metaphor for enormous problems or greedy people, given life by dinosaur bones?

 

[Silverscale derg]

You said you haven't even seen it (and I presume you've not read it either), so how can you access if it was poorly written or not?

I have read beowolf in the "hero" journey or whatever they're called. He goes to a wearwolf and rips their arm off, beats them with it and walks out...typical hero. Does a bunch of stuff, kills a bunch but hey look it's our hero he walked out unscratched whoa so believable. Bad guys are well written in the way that there's a reason they're "bad". There's a backstory, they struggle to get what they want. If they wrote heroes in that way that they won't get everything on the first try than that would make a much better story but that's just my view. Heroes are overpowered

 

[Silverscale derg]

Yeah, probably because we're talking about fiction. Necromancy in real-world terms isn't raising the dead.


Yes you are. I know very well what therians are, and I think they're pretending too. Because being a human is so boring, so it's more fun to pretend that you've got the heart of a dragon or phoenix or whatever.

Not only that but you're going on about "shifting". You're pretending.



If a dragon is fire-made-flesh - as they're believed to be - then they have no need to bask as they're not cold-blooded. If you're going to pretend to actually be a dragon, you could at least do it with some manner of consistency.

Good that you know that. Magic for humans is quite hard with all the picky colors and gems.

I'm not faking it, it's about discovering who you really are. I admit some do fake it but they can quickly be dismantled by a keen pack. Those of true faith will stand out. I'm not pretending anything but acting like an adult because adult stuff is quite boring. I'm a dragon, my spirit is that of fire.

I do shift, not p shifting obviously but m shifting

Dragons are reptiles, reptiles are kin of dragons, dragons have an entire planet devoted to basking, it's called Mercury. Sure some dragons have fire but not all dragon's element are that of fire, some are that of water, ice, storms, plasma, gravity and so on. Fire ones can withstand the harsh north winds, although ice ones can too because they're a bit more resistant to the cold but as a plasma breathing dragon sure plasma can get hot but it requires a charge, I must bask especially if I had a large meal.

I'm confused what you're talking about. It's not dinosaur bones...we dragons removed traces of us

i'm not pretending.

Troll. If you're going to slander a hero, at least be accurate. Not to mention that he slew Grendel after the beast had slain many men and women in Herot. Oh, but we probably shouldn't offend any Troll-therkins that might be out there...

Good that you know that. Magic for humans is quite hard with all the picky colors and gems.

I'm not faking it, it's about discovering who you really are.

For that I would suggest Dr. Phil.

I'm a dragon, my spirit is that of fire.

And yet you need to "bask".

Sure some dragons have fire but not all dragon's element are that of fire, some are that of water, ice, storms, plasma, gravity

Don't forget manure.

I'm confused what you're talking about. It's not dinosaur bones...we dragons removed traces of us

Careful, the Christian fundamentalists might get offended; that's usually their lame excuse for a variety of devil-hid "miracles".

i'm not pretending.

Sure.

Sure.

I'm not a troll i'm a dragon. Fine I admit it's slander to beowouf but that's because he always killed creatures so easily. So boo hoo grendel killed a few people...a species with a population of 7 billion complains when someone kills them yet they kill a bunch of creatures themselves in "population control" Wolves are killed because they're "canadian" after they have been reintroduced. Hunters really want "their" deer. Coyotes get killed like they're target practice. Sure fur but it's not the meat that's being used so that's an unjust killing. What makes humans so damn special that they have to hate on any creature that dares feed on them while at the same time turning around killing animals that aren't even looking to feed on them? I'm not a troll-therkin you know. You humans complain about gender rights or whatever it is you people spew but humans don't need protection, other non human animals do against humans.

Why dr phill?

I do need to bask. It feels so good you know.

I use the hotspring if I have to go.

I don't care about the Christians because they don't care about me

 

[The Kilted Heathen]

I'm not a troll i'm a dragon.

No, you're a human. Grendel - who Beowulf slew in his epic - was a troll. Not a werewolf, as you claimed.

So boo hoo grendel killed a few people...

Boo hoo heroes killed dragons - creatures that have a population of infinite because they exist in myth. Boo hoo anglers kill little lizards who have global populations beyond numbers.

a species with a population of 7 billion

Not at the time Beowulf was written and told. Gods, for a "dragon" you're not very wise. Been hanging out with Puff too much?

Why dr phill?

Because it's clear that you've got some identity issues.

Fine my body is a human but my soul is that of a dragon. How was I to know grendel's species? His "epic" pffff give me a break. It wasn't epic in the slightest. The book was lame. He walked through the areas facing no resistance...

Heroes killing dragons is wrong because we're peaceful. We may be big and strong but we only aim to protect the earth. Sure we dragons can be reborn but that's no reason to kill us. It only makes us mad especially if it's done for sport so someone can brag and nail our head to a wall. They always choose the heart, why the heart? It causes so much pain.

I'm a hatchling so no i'm not the wisest dragon out there. I don't have identity issues.

 

[The Kilted Heathen]

Fine my body is a human

And as such, cannot melt computers or damage them with "smoke". Neither can you breath fire. I'd call those lies, but it's kinder to just say you were pretending.

How was I to know grendel's species?

You actually read the Epic Poem?

Heroes killing dragons is wrong because we're peaceful.

We've already established that you're human.

According to myths and legends no, dragons are far from peaceful. You can't wrap a turd up in some plastic and call it a Snickers.

Sure we dragons can be reborn

Not if you're killed by the one that you fear; in your tongue he is Dovahkiin--Dragonborn! (epic music plays)

I don't have identity issues.

We've established here that yes, you do. Man, maybe I should compete for Dr. Phil's spot!

I'm bored of this. Time to go on a dragon slaying spree. Maybe I'll kill Paarthurnax just for giggles.

I live in a warm climate and it gets quite smokey in my habitat. It's not epic at all.

"according to myths" well that's your problem, dragons were called far from peaceful just as wolves were labeled monsters but who's the real monster? Those who kill for food leaving other creatures alone such as dragons and even wolves, or a species that kills any species daring to eat easy meals/sheep not even for meat but just because they happen to want to not work so damn hard for a simple meal? Dragons are hated, all reptiles are...Why would I need that? Why would you go on a dragon slaying spree? You never told me what dragons did to you? I never claimed we dragons were perfect, yes we try to be peaceful but in the end we're predators and have to take the occasional life to live but it's done strictly for food unlike wolf hunters...

Well some people hate me, i'm a dragon so no surprise there...everyone seems to hate dragons. I also elaborated on a point that asked a few questions within my post about using poor lizards as live bait for fishing which is cruel.
