    I’ve gone 41 years now without once considering what a dragons diet consists of. Then you come in here like “HEY GUYS!!! SCIENCE!!! Also what do dragons eat?”

    And now I’ll forever be pissed off that it becomes an answer with no wrong answer, and no right answer. Only unproven theories with varying levels of absurdity. You say he eats coal. Maybe I say they eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Your answer makes sense. My answer isn’t wrong, and thus still valid.

    And with that comes an open invitation to come up with the dumbest answer possible, knowing it can never be wrong. No matter how wrong it is.

      NGL, I’m low-key goading the science dweebs among us to find the most efficient/plausible scientific explanation for all this fantasy nonsense. We have to find the dragon diet that would support the version of dragons that routinely exhales superheated air (as opposed to having an extra chamber of chemicals they ignite on demand), while still maintaining other dragon tropes.

        I was going to mention Reign of Fire until I saw your parenthetical insert.

        Guess I’ll go back to my physics-based MMO.
