  "textContent": "ok I did a module on domestication in my undergrad so let's see, we've got\n\n  * quick maturing - not in D&D RAW\n  * able to find food in/around human settlements - yes, once\n  * hardiness - yes\n  * herd dynamics - big no\n  * ease of reproduction in captivity - uncertain\n  * bonus : can be kept in captivity in the first place - not for long\n\n\n\nHow did I do? - Paper\n\nfollow-up based on tags/replies\n\n  * 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)\n  * human-like intelligence makes it an ethical issue - 100% agree\n  * sounds like humans are domesticable - yeah actually\n\n",
