[Gahagan]

He's in a cage trap. My dwarves are admiring him.

My question is: as I have no dungeon master, now what do I do with it?

[Naryar]

Close Dwarf Fortress.

Go into your region's save, open the creature_standard.txt, find the dragon entry and change PET_EXOTIC to PET.

Open Dwarf Fortress.

Profit.

[Gahagan]

Should I go with a war dragon, then?

Or should I make it a nest box?

[Flying Dice]

I don't think that dragons are breeders (could be wrong), and your chances of getting a breeding pair are slim at best.

They are, but you do need a breeding pair, and thats preety hard to come by.

Leave it as a normal dragon. No need for training. It is powerful enough already.

Name the Dragon Drunken McFarter. The enemy will laugh as they get toasty and die. Then drop magma on it to preserve the dragon, but make sure it is the centerpiece to the hallway of your fort. It will be a warning to others who dare enter your fort..... Though that might just disappearify the dragon, you will have a defense system now amirite?

[Gahagan]

Will I ever need to feed him now that he's tame? How much do dragons eat?

[Person]

Only creatures with the [GRAZER] tag need to eat. Dragons don't have it, and so don't need to eat.

[Bdthemag]

I would just feed him those legendary soap makers.

[bucket]

I don't believe exotic animals ever starve. Put a pillar in the middle of your entrance hall and tie the dragon to it.

[dirty foot]

Only creatures with the [GRAZER] tag need to eat. Dragons don't have it, and so don't need to eat.

I take it this is a tag I can only see by looking at the raws?

[Karakzon]

Make a pen somewere safe, put a nest box in. and make sure the place can be sealed off with a bridge or such and is filled with cage traps. the dragon will lay eggs. if the opposite sex dragon enters the map, then the eggs will become fertalised -any new ones anyway- when they hatch theyll move onto the cage traps around the nest box, you now have baby dragons to tame ^^ and probably your own breeding pair.

from their you just isolate all female dragons into these hatcherys -1 to each, unless you make realy big ones- and keep 1 male isolated somewere safe, any excess males or females after the 2nd or 3rd hatchery become your new dragon pets, and when mounts are introduced, the firebreathing freinds of yours become the flying dwarven cavalry ^^

[MonkeyHead]

upgrade my fire imp box.

3x3 ring of fortifications with raising bridges to close off safeley. pit drogon into it.

expendible animals/criminals chained in potential field of fire to lure gobbos into dragon flame range.

enjoy.

[Misterstone]

I'd create a fire turret near my main gate.  Put the dragon inside a ring of fortifications, and along the outside of these set up some bridges as screens to keep it from frying everyone who walks by.  Goblins show up, evacuate civilians, deploy fire turret!

'ello, me name is Urist the Blackburne an' fir a swig o' ale an' a shag, I shall tell ye a story like you aven't heard before.

Once'pon a time, tis was a mighty fortres, tat was, -hic- and we bashed the earth'n'steel and brewed righteous grog and prospered, like good times -hic-, y'now?
But one day, our king drank one cup o'beer too many, and says, like, "Hey, lads, let's breed us a dragon or three. We can eat'em, sell'em, show them for a quick coin."
And as he said, that crazy old fag, so it was done -hic-. Lemme tell you a thing - dragnosh... dragons, they smell worse pish, never let you sleep at night, and what's worst, one day dem jist go crazy and burn all your fortress, as they burn oursh.. -hic-. And what did not burn, they ate. And what they couldn't eat, they tore to pieshc...es. -Hic-.

Spare a keg o' lager... or four, would ya? Have pity for a  poor -hic- homeslellssh dorf!
