Sa-ay. What sort of dragon would y'all want to be? McCaffrey's are decently high on the list for me, what with the telepathy, time travel, ability to survive in space for several minutes without aid, and intra-system biological FTL drive.
Pern's has some advantages, but I could do without the uncontrollable sex drive thing. And the thread. And the telepathy has some fairly significant downsides. They're pretty flimsy as dragons go, too. Also... innit their lifespan fairly limited for dragoncritters? They've got some fancy tricks, but for me they're probably not much further up the ladder than Discworld's.
Shadowrun's would
definitely be up high on the list. They've got most things other sorts of dragons have going for them, and overall considerably less of the problems (which is faintly ridiculous, considering the setting they originate from). Dark Sun's wouldn't be that bad, either, really -- sure, they're fairly incredibly malevolent (and largely have to be, due to how they form), but not much actually manages to kill the things despite a
lot of things trying and the whole might-as-well-be-a-god thing is pretty sweet digs. Bunch more I'm forgetting... know some of them patterned after the eastern stuff is quite appealing, but I can't remember particular settings and whatnot to note.
Pretty much any of the D&D/Krynn/etc. sort would be fairly solid, providing you actually survive up to adulthood and maybe not actually be
on one of their deathworlds. Massive arcane power, functional agelessness, ability to polymorph, the whole progeny thing... if it weren't for where they live and how few of them actually get beyond wyrmhood, they'd be pretty great.
