Reply to comment by EffortRich5939 in [WP] Much like dinosaurs, mythical dragons have all gone extinct. What people don't know is that, like dinosaurs, the dragons also have their descendants. One day on your farm, you encounter a talking, ember-spitting chicken, bent on "restoring their clan." by Allucinatio
Such things are beyond a puny human's comprehension. This is the domain of dragons.
Thanks for the feedback! I was going for a horror comedy kind of tone, and the way this chicken attained a higher intelligence and was able to control animals as a consequence of being a dragon was intentionally left ambiguous to invoke the fear of the unknown. Having such an incomprehensible horrifying thing happening to someone so down to earth is very funny to me. I love a good dichotomy.
