Why do humans not like reptiles?

I like reptiles and get very upset when one of the casts eats a lizard, snake or frog.

Oh one of the rules of the internet. Let me tell you what I tell everyone else who asks that. I'm a dragon, I breath fire, My climate is warm. My computer alone must be replaced every so often because of smoke damage, my camera being clear plastic melts within the first day...you expect me to get a picture?
Yep. They have cameras that can take pictures of lava; if you're able to come here and tell us all about you being a mythical creature, this should be no challenge at all.

the undead Night King (who resembles a lich of sorts
Nooooo, Jesus is more of a Lich than the Night King. A lich is a magical practitioner who sacrifices their mortality (usually keeping their heart in a phylactery) to gain greater arcane power. The Night King was sacrificed by the Children of the Forest to make a superweapon; he's more akin to an abomination or even an ice golem.

In games, books, and movies we're unfairly portrayed as monsters who hoard gold. In truth we just happen to sometimes fall ill and our throw up is barf. It is true that we like shinny objects which the gold is and when we have the time we can craft the gold into many shapes to fit out need. It is the only thing that helps with itches too but if someone wanted some for whatever reason all they'd have to do is ask. If you just take we get made because we're ocd and it needs to be from the right area.

What are those world? I have no memory of them from any universe view

How do you craft without thumbs?

Also those worlds, Oreth is the main earth like planet from the Greyhawk Universe in D&D (one of the most popular the 'original' one), and the latter is the main earth like planet of Pathfinder (an offshoot of 3.5e more or less by a subcompany of Wizards of the Coast if I recall correctly).

Beowulf, skyrim, dragonslayer, dragon hunter, game of thrones (has dragon killing), diablo, dragon age, the witcher,...the list goes on. If there's a dragon in any media it's most likely going to be a slaying one

In Dragon Age the dragon isn't evil just a zombie darkspawn infested dragon. But I only ever played the original game.

Also why didn't you mention Dungeons and Dragons? Not knowing the name of one of the popular settings like Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms is somewhat forgivable but come on it's in the name and a classic decades before any of those lol

Dragons of skyrim got a few things right. No dragon in skyrim is evil. Alduin was good and sure he wanted to eat the world but look at the wars, conflict, poverty and so on...who would not want the world eaten to start a new? If you call the "god" flood from the bible good then why call us dragons doing the same thing evil? I

It's almost as if we don't want to be wiped out and see that as bad. Hint, Yahweh was evil too for his biblical flood. Also no version of Alduin in Elder Scrolls lore saw him as good, except where he was confused with Akatosh who was an Aedra with his dragon incarnation. Akatosh was kind of the top dude of the Aedra (Aedra themselves were gods but it's more complicated than that). Anyways my point is, Alduin was evil for going against Akatosh and leading other dragons who hated mortals and wanted to enslave or kill them. Akatosh was good and wanted to protect the mortal realm as do all Aedra. Alduin went against all of that intentionally

Also the "dragons" in skyrim look a lot more like Wyverns than actual dragons. Small nitpick but if you were really a dragon you would of noticed that. You didn't, becuase you're not a real dragon.

I thought you might be a legit dragonkin until this (since otherkin/dragonkin don't actually think they are physically a dragon). I still don't know if this is roleplay, trolling, or truly delusional (not sure how the heck something that insane can be pulled off though and someone not notice they have human hands). I mean, how the heck do dragons type without fingers? lol a computer would be too small for your claws

What? Me worry?
Don't call it a lizard then. I'm not that caring to anfibs. Anfibs are imposters. Sure use those salamanders then because they breathe underwater. I don't like the concept of live bait to begin with.

Yeah if you use any live bait use a fellow fish then sure use it. I don't fish with a fishing line so I don't use any bait. It should be for food but some fish for sport.

They're colloquially known as "spring lizards" and I guess I can call them "Maurice" if I wish.

I see the god of the Bible as being one of the most sadistic, cruel, barbaric savages in all of fiction.

If you are referring to Game of Thrones, the Khaleesi Daenerys Targaryen views her three dragons as her children, and the only children she will ever have. As for the one who was killed, Viserion, he was killed by the undead Night King (who resembles a lich of sorts), and the undead are coming to kill all who live. As for Dany's enemies (primarily the Lannisters), of course they are going to try to kill the dragons because they are at war against each other, and the land of Westeros was brought to its knees when the first Aegon Targaryen, along with his sisters, rode his dragons, gained the name Aegon the Conqueror, and unified the Seven Kingdoms and established the Iron Throne as the central governance of the Seven Kingdoms. From Valaryia, it is said that many dragons flew above in the skies, and were not viewed as enemies to be killed. This is where the house of Targaryen hails, and their banner is black with a red three-headed dragon.

The "god" of the bible is seen as good for most people, Lucifer was prideful and got kicked out because of that.

I have no idea what you're saying

Actually she does. Also Lucifer wasn't kicked out, there isn't even an arch angel named Lucifer in the mythology until centuries after the Christian Bible was canonized. Lucifer just means morning star or light bearer and there were even saints named lucifer:

Lucifer of Cagliari - Wikipedia

Also check out verses such as 2nd Peter 1:19 where pro Lucifer symbolism is used. Even Yeshua (Jesus) is described as Lucifer at the end of Revelations.

Also worth checking out, but the Order of the Eastern Star is all about that lightbearer, Lucifer stuff. Totally Christian based Masonic order. I'd know as I have a little bit of literature from a deceased family member.

Truth is, most "references" to Lucifer in the Bible just aren't really about Lucifer. Isaiah is always the favorite but any critical reading reveals it's actually about the Babylonian King and a historical context reveals that "morning star" (as it was in the Hebrew) refers to a literal "morning star" aka Venus. Which is literally a star that appears in early morning, rises above the horizon then falls back behind it as dawn goes on. If you look for it and geography permits, you can see it much more often than not. I know I see it a ton from the middle of the eastern United States.

So confusing. There was him that was kicked out

This question is serious. It spans back to dragons. We dragons are peaceful, we only kill once a month to eat something not insects or fish. We took princesses to treat them equally because womens rights of that era didn't exist. Knights act brave when they kill us in our sleep and even takes our head as trophy but why if not going to eat us? Why kill for sport?

Sub on this is why do humans feel the need to use live lizards as fishing bait because that's just cruel when literally anything else thrown into the water would work, not just fish bait but some idiots feed lizards to pet fish which is just revolting. Sure lizards can take eggs but they have a bank they can go up on to escape...putting them in a tank is not even fair.

(I mean no offense by this so please don't kick me)
On lizards how come brown anoles are seen as invasive yet green anoles are just fine but when you put it in the name of humans then everyone freaks out. If someone said that brown anoles should be killed off that in human would be "All the black people should be killed off" but no that's racist...Everyone knows that? Anoles are anoles...the only thing different is the color of their scales.

I can't imagine anyone wasting a perfectly good lizard on fish bait. Personally I gobble those suckers down all on their own. Sauteed, roasted, fired... nothing quite as succulent as lizard meat. Now if I could get my hands on a DRAGON... well, that would feed me for months!

So, Silverscale... where exactly did you say you lived?

Nooooo, Jesus is more of a Lich than the Night King. A lich is a magical practitioner who sacrifices their mortality (usually keeping their heart in a phylactery) to gain greater arcane power. The Night King was sacrificed by the Children of the Forest to make a superweapon; he's more akin to an abomination or even an ice golem.
He was sacrificed by the Children of the Forest, but the Night King turned against his creators, and he has control over the dead, including the ability to reanimate them to build an undead army, as a Lich would. It's why I said "resembles a Lich of sorts." His creation, and the purpose behind it, isn't something that would traditionally create a Lich, but his actions and powers after that is where a "Lich-like" description becomes accurate. Perhaps even "Lich King," (except he's already the Night King) given there are at least a few who serve directly under him and are not a part of the common undead puppet running around.
I have no idea what you're saying
I'm describing the "dragon killing" in Game of Thrones that you claimed is there and then appeared to have said you haven't seen, and a bit of Westeros history, a history that includes dragons being a normal part of an ancient civilization, and how an entire house rose to power and total domination because dragons were their allies, not their enemies. And one of the main characters in the series has the blood of dragons in her (she cannot be harmed by fire), her dragons are her children, and it's really only her enemies who are out to kill her dragons. Everybody else is either awe stricken and spellbound by the sight (as there haven't been any in that world for 300 years), and generally and pretty much always terrified. As Dany's Hand (righthand man to use modern terminology) puts it, "I'd say you get used to them, but you never really do." Of course the Lannister army tried to kill Drogon when Dany rode in with her army and decimated the Lannister lines (and that one dragon alone did massive damage). But it was the undead Night King who killed the dragon Viserion, because, among other reasons, the only discernible goal of the Night King is to bring death and eternal winter and darkness to Westeros.

One crafts with magic, magic can make small parts like thumbs look like childs play. I have no idea what a D&D is. I am so confused right now.

I guess if it's a zombie dragon then fine. I have no idea what dungeons and dragons is.

We gave humans a chance. We didn't intentionally want to wipe them out but when they started branching off and making weapons and most worrying was killing us in the middle of the night then we wanted to act but by then humans have taken over the world.
I don't know much about the elder scrolls because I despise it for killing dragons.

You do know wyverns are dragons. Wyverns, westerns, and easterns are sub groups of dragons. Saying dragon is like saying canine, there are many species in the canine group with slight differences. I don't care what type of dragon, drake, or whatever form of dragon you want to use, to me they're all the same, they're all equal.

The right word is therian and fine you caught me, I am a therian but shifted. I get on here when shifted you know. Dragons have magic. The only good thing about this body is the warm blood although I still know the cold blooded struggle

Aye, but he wasn't a sorcerer or magic user. Any old Necromancer can raise an army of the dead.
