While many have dreamed of dragon mounts, the fact of the matter is that dragons are simply undomesticable. For your homework, I want you to list all the criteria that makes domestication possible and why dragons pretty much fail in every category.

ok I did a module on domestication in my undergrad so let's see, we've got * quick maturing - not in D&D RAW * able to find food in/around human settlements - yes, once * hardiness - yes * herd dynamics - big no * ease of reproduction in captivity - uncertain * bonus : can be kept in captivity in the first place - not for long How did I do? - Paper follow-up based on tags/replies * what about mounts? - domestication is a generations-long breeding process. taking a wild dragon and making it your mount is taming, totally different thing (many exotic pets are tame rather than domesticated) * human-like intelligence makes it an ethical issue - 100% agree * sounds like humans are domesticable - yeah actually
