I see dragons being treated in a similar fashion we treat elephants. At first, they'd be seen as either weapons of war (for their flying, fire, & brute strength) or creatures to be worshiped (depending on the region). Dragons would also be hunted and exploited for their organs to be used in traditional medicine, the black market, & their eggs/babies would be used for exotic foods or illegal pets. Eventually, humanity would grow to love and respect dragons and set up numerous organizations & preserves to protect and study them.

[@delfinenteddyson9865]

[@胡利奥]

They would be treated as we treat tigers, crocodiles, sharks and any other carnivorous animal

[@BierBart12]

The problem with that idea might be that they aren't slow moving and mostly calm/friendly as a result of being herbivores They may be a much bigger threat than any carnivore that humanity had ever faced was and, as a consequence, might be hunted to extinction very early in history. But I like the idea that we'd domesticate them like we did the second biggest threat, wolves. Pug dragons.

Depending on how early they were introduced, technically humans COULD tame them. As long as they provide a controlled source of livestock, eventually they could technically become domesticated, maybe becoming smaller and relying on humans. Wild, dangerous dragons would most likely be kept in big cages after humans gain knowledge of strong metal alloys etc. keeping them from going extinct (Although, they may go extinct before this happens, which would be pretty anti-climatic.) and dying off. I guess another option is that they keep humans from ever taking over the earth like what happened with us.

An impressive battle ensures and the dragon runs away. The knight meets up with the dragon a day or so later and splits the proceeds, lather, rinse and repeat.

While the modern world would be able to take care of this problem, the ancient world would be severely disadvantaged. I think the presence of dragons would hinder human progress due to them being a threat to agriculture, livestock, and commerce. Even if you were to send groups of people after them, dragons are HUGE. It would take something massive to kill them, like a ballista, which wasn't invented until 400 BC. Assuming that dragons would have existed since the dawn of mankind, I don't think we would be where we are today if dragons existed.

[@TheThaiBuddy]

***** While that would be pretty freaking awesome, the fact that they were so large and we would be dwarfed by them would cause our ancestors to fear them or worship them, most likely the former, not to mention how we would even be able to let them live with us due to their size. Plus, if these are the fire-breathing variants, it would be nearly impossible to tame them.

I feel like there would be three things happening, other than the one you said: 1) dragons would just kill all of us: if anyone in the middle ages got even remotely near to a wake dragon would just be killed, because the armor would show him and the fire would kill him and melt the armor. 2) evolution: Humans are bipedal because they needed to see above the grass and have opposed thumbs (idk if you say it like that) because they needed to grab things, so humans would have evolved as something stronger or more aware to avoid being killed by dragons, for example we could have a pangolin like natural armor that protects from flames and sharp teeth/claws or we'd be able to spot a dragon at great distances and to efficiently hide from it. 3) tames dragons: Humans somehow found a way to make wolves docile and turned them into dogs, and also tamed felines to get cats, even if it would be quite hard, since dragons would be hard to deal with, we'd probably find a way to tame one, like we did with wolves, that were dangerous too: probably some dumb kid wouldn't understand that the small lizard in front of him is a baby dragon and would tame it without noticing, or maybe some brave (or crazy) enough man would look for an egg and give the imprinting to the baby dragon, maybe after a party had killed the parents and found the nest they'd try to get the eggs and give the imprinting like that, or maybe they got an egg in some other way, but probably something like this would happen. I think that either the number 1 happens or both the number 2 and 3 happen at the same time, it all depends on wether the humans' ancestors are able to survive enough to adapt or simply die too early and we just never go past the australopitecus phase

[@jayblondi]

Well wait until the Dragon finds out your kind has killed there parent's well you will die and dragons on adult size will pick out your bones and eat all other parts left of you well wait your a kind of right if dragons had opinions and some will be a fan of people some will be a fan of killing them

[@fairytala]

That's a good comment! I don't think taming is an option though, since dragons are too dangerous and domestication would not work the way it did with wolves. Wolves are assumed to have more or less domesticated themselves since some stuck around human camps voluntarily to feed on their garbage. This new food source changed their genetic pressure towards friendlyness (aggressive ones would not be tolerated close to the camps) and outwardly features that are interesting to humans and make them more likely to feed the "cute" wolves. Also the new food source made their size decrease since they didn't have to be tall predators anymore, therefore the extra height was unnecessary body mass that required unnecessarily high amounts of calories.

[@Row.]

@@fairytala Thank you! And great points, but please consider (it's going to be long and based on my view on the issue): we tamed lions, tigers and bears, trained them and used them in circuses for years, and they are basically the apex predators of their respective habitats. (tamed, not domesticated) All you need to tame and train a species is a reliable way to survive it's attacks and to kill it's members (cruel, I know). And if a primitive human couldn't, technology will eventually suffice. For domestication, its very different, but we did domesticate wolves, who could easily kill an human. That's probably because they weren't the apex predators and some found out that eating our scraps was easier that hunting and more or less as efficient. So, assuming dragons differentiate, hence creating various species of varying sizes, a smaller dragon will not be an Apex, hence it might find itself in the same condition wolves found themselves in when they got domesticated. An important part of the domestication is human evolution: if humans evolve to resist fire from bigger dragons and some bites, a smaller dragon's fire breath and bites will probably do very little damage to humans (consider, a dog can kill you, but it won't be as fast or efficient as a lion). If the evolved humans could naturally negate damage from the weaker firebreathing and shrug off their bites to some extent, they could domesticate dragons, simply by being above them in the food chain: We have lots of food, we throw away some, small dragons find out they can eat our scraps without having to hunt and compete against the big ones, we eventually start actively feeding them, they slowly evolve in dragon-dogs. Basically: Taming requires the ability to kill it, survive it's attacks and imprison it (even through technology) Domestication requires the natural ability to survive it's attacks (and kill it), a higher place on the food chain (you can't domesticate something that eats you regularly) and a different apex predator that poses a big threat to it's survival (mainly by making it hard for it to feed, hence making it more convenient for it to be fed from humans than to hunt for food) So, through evolution we could domesticate small dragons, and through technology we could tame and train bigger and more dangerous ones (maybe even use them as mounts, eventually)

[@Row.]

To clarify on the fire resistance: If humans evolve to resist fire from bigger dragons to the point that any temperature under a certain point will simply have no effect on them (like beating steel with a stick), and the effects of higher temperatures will be extremely mitigated (beating a block of steel with a light hammer) unless the temperature gets extremely high (beating steel with a very heavy and pointy hammer), a flame coming from a small dragon, which will be colder than a big one's, will last for a shorter period of time and will affect a smaller area, would have little to no effect on a human, and hence allow us to survive everyday life with a relatively small dragon just like we survive everyday life with a dog (who could kill us, but isn't efficient enough to do it by accident, and has a slightly hard time doing so if we fight back) If we negate damage from firebreathing, a dragon and a wolf aren't that different, expecially if other animals evolve in a similar way. And if getting set on fire was a daily occurrence we would have to evolve this way simply to survive and reproduce, hence it isn't too much of a stretch to say that we would eventually be able to shrug off a small dragon's fire. (think of thick isolating skin, which would also help with bites and scratches from smaller dragons, or even an exoskeleton) (extremely thick skin is also why hyppos just don't care when predators attack them and are basically tanks)

[@MonteCreations]

Humans would never domesticate dragons, for the same reason they never domesticated Tigers; They are WAY to dangerous and difficult to contain. Domestication requires capturing, containing and controlling an animal for many generations. Even if you stole a dragon egg to raise one from infancy, the dragon out of instinct would most likely kill you when it grew large enough and escape from any enclosure you might put him in. The only way to get rid of those dangerous natural instincts would be to breed multiple generations of dragons, but that would be impossible without a way to control and contain them... also depending on how long dragons live and how quickly the reproduce it could take centuries to achieve good results; not many kings are gonna push for a dangerous and expensive dragon domestication program that would only benefit their great, great, great, great, great, grandson.

[@RabanoDoom]

Well, one logical extreme result would be something akin to Bioshock, where highly individualistic mindsets cross with incredibly powerful individuals and a twinge of crazy. Make bioshock's scenario slightly less extreme, and on a global scale, and you'd get a good candidate for what would happen. If magic was real, and everybody had crazy magic powers, governments and societies would be far more difficult to form due to humans not having to sustain themselves through the assistance of one another. The best you'd get are bandit villages and cults, run by people far more lenient about how they use their powers than the common majority. Agriculture and Domestication would exist on a very small scale, with constant and highly successful magic-assisted looting and banditry making any growth in those areas difficult. In short: Everybody would be too powerful to allow any big governments to form, and most cultures would prioritize looting and ransacking over long-term agricultural development, so there are only small villages.

[@a.jherbert5436]

The same way we devolved giant spine lizard creatures into rodents during the age of the dinosaurs.

[@RabanoDoom]

Well, see that's the thing. Dragons are drastically superior to anything in their natural environment, which means they would quickly consume their environments resources...and then die. They're not like humans, who make sure the prey successfully reproduces more food before death, they're hunters, and massive, destructive fire breathing ones at that. First, they'd need to eat a lot to sustain their bodies and firey breath, meaning they'd eat a ton of large and especially medium herbivores, many to extinction. Due to their environmentally destructive hunting habits, plants would have a harder time growing back to help replenish the herbivore shortage, meaning way less herbivores overall. And so the population of dragons would greatly, GREATLY diminish, even more so than other over-consumptive carnivores, and even MORE so when you consider dragons are often represented as lone hunters, meaning they'd be prone to fight and eat eachother for survival. In the end, there may be 1 or 2 dragons in an area the size of a small country if you're *lucky.* Meanwhile, the presence of dragons would force adaptive primates and other omnivorous human-like ancestors into small, hidden hunter-gatherer communities, When nature eventually bounced back from the dragons' overconsumption, these communities would repopulate and advance before the dragons had a chance to, as a small community system allows for far easier growth than longer lived loners. The humans would develop agriculture and domestication before the dragons had the chance to repopulate, and once they became a nuisance, we'd finally slay them to extinction. (Likely during winter months when food was scarcer for humans and cold-blooded dragons would move too sluggishly to defend themselves) In short: Dragons murder everything to near extinction, dragons starve to near extinction, humans repopulate because humans are better at repopulation, humans take over, near-extinct dragons are wiped out.

[@a.jherbert5436]

Rabano Doom Excellent point.

[@lykken5396]

Rabano Doom very good man very good point

[@faolan1686]

Rabano Doom But if they were a naturally evolved animal then would have only evolved if there were the resources to sustain them. Take the movie Reign of Fire. the dragons in that feed on ash. They burn the world around them and feed of the what is leftover. Or if they are a reptile, as they are often depicted, then they would have a slower metabolism. Crocodiles can go up to a year without food. Plus humans are the exception to the rule that apex predators only occur in smaller numbers than their prey. There only are ever as many as the resources and habitat can sustain.

Dragon slaying as a job XD. I theorize that humans would do learn to do better than fight dragons. Maybe with the advances in engineering we figured out a way to gather our dying, malnourished or sick livestock and use them as a sort of Dragon sanctuaries, strategically placed so that dragons would would be confined to a certain perimeter and not attack human population for food as often. Warding off or killing vagrant dragons could become a legitimate roll in the roster of farmlands. Rearing livestock in numbers might take priority over quality in certain breeds, we might start breeding beef cattle specifically to be plump and worthy dragon hunt. Dragon droppings could become a harvestable resource for farmers which is brought by designated personnel. Dragons might become an essential part of our economy and a city being in a vicinity of Dragon sanctuaries might profit a lot. Heck we might actually end up domesticating dragons which could become pets, security guards,personal transport for those who can afford to raise a dragon and of course, a foil against wild dragons, Hunter dragons. Dragon eggs would we an item of luxury. All of this will happen only if we find a dragon species as smart if not smarter than dogs. Hold my beer, i gotta do some worldbuilding.

[@killerems]

Dragons would wipe us all out. Imagine a whole bunch of godzillas

[@idunbeezasmart1]

killerems Godzilla is semi intelligent. I'm going by AHH's conditions. They are no smarter than animals and they behave no differently. There are plenty of species of animals that can easily kill a man, yet we are still atop the food chain. Mankind would overcome the dragons advantages with intellect, as we do with any challenge. Being animals, their behaviors could be anticipated and exploited, which is why they would be easily lured into traps and killed off. Using the same lore that AHH uses, dragons, unlike Godzilla, CAN be killed off, its just harder to do. However, if a concerted effort was implemented, humanity would eventually conquer the dragons.

[@killerems]

+idunbeezasmart1 doubt it. I'm not about to debate about it though

[@griffinflyer77]

I agree. Humans back then were far stronger than humans today. Seriously. These people were living among mammoths, woolly rhinos, and bears. Yet they killed them all. How? By being complete badasses. If humans back then could kill bears like the evidence points, I can definitely see a group of them killing a dragon. These people had bows, spears, and clubs. From what I know about dragons, they are supposed to have weak wings.These could be shot with arrows, meaning the dragon could not escape. Then the people with spears and clubs could take out the dragon. Now you say, "What about the fire breath?" Here's my answer. A majority of dragons described by ancient people did NOT have fire-breath. In fact, a big majority of them were no larger than bears! Only until medieval times, when people would have had better technology, did dragons become large and fire-breathing. Assuming that AHH is working on the premise that people of different times would see different dragons, it's very obvious that humanity would survive pretty easily.

[@idunbeezasmart1]

Shalom Griffinflyer Agreed. The key factor here is the established criteria that AHH has created. The dragons are no smarter than animals, meaning they are subject to the same predictable behaviors of any other beast. If they were self-aware and even marginally intelligent, it would could be a completely different story, but as long as they are just stupid critters, albeit the most deadly on Earth, they critters none-the-less.

Дмитрий Мордовин I wouldn’t say ineffective. Due to their size and scales, they’d be similar to tanks of the sky. They’d be impervious to small arms fire, fighter pilot machine guns would have a hard time hurting them, and missiles and rockets would be devastating. The intimidation factor is not to be underestimated as well. Also if you consider that most of the weapons used in D-day were small arms and artillery, they would be quite useful. Especially to clear out German pill boxes. A machine gunner would have to be really lucky or fire large caliber rounds to hurt it. Though if the dragon faced a squadron of fighters with missiles, then things would quickly go south. I would assume though a dragon asset would be treated like a bomber though and have a fighter escort. Of course, this is all my opinion since dragons aren’t real.

@@novicebladesman2835 dragons would be terrible weapons, because of their size they would be huge targets and if they got shot they would go down from the pain

[@novicebladesman2835]

Mewlus You have to take into account some other factors. Depending on the size of the dragon and it’s scales, small arms fire wouldn’t be much more than a sting to them. Assuming the round even penetrated. Not even the .50 bmg round can penetrate steel plates. And dragons are usually depicted as having scales harder than steel. If you fire large caliber rounds at them, it might injure them assuming the shooter gets lucky, but they could keep flying as the bullets would be small compared to them. It would take a large hail of bullets to bring even a single dragon down from the pain, and the dragon would be fine after it got over the pain. The most effective weapons would be missiles and rockets. It is quite easy to hit big bombers with those but dragons are much more nimble than a bomber. Sure, they aren’t invincible, but they could do a ton of damage.

A dragon isn't made of steel, it's made up of flesh, something that is easy to penetrate. While their flesh/skin might be considerably thicker than ours, that still wouldn't prevent it from getting pierced by an armour-piercing round or especially a railgun shot.

And how can it even focus on destroying said city if its being chased by a pack of fighter jets? Not to mention all the anti-air weaponries that will be used to full effect.

Taming dragons wouldn't be a bad idea, but to maintain them would be a nightmare, due to their size and probably a huge metabolism. Whole entire cities would have to be devoted for single dragon.

[@kaerouse48]

The people that succeeded would have began human civilization. Some people would fear them but most would have viewed those Dragon Riders as more than normal humans, almost godlike.

[@pyrosianheir]

If (when) that were the case, then we'd probably start breeding them to be smaller, specifically so we could afford the upkeep. At which point, Dragons would transition into something more like Wyverns, and Wyvern cavalry becomes the decider in wars until someone is able to get guns and planes to work well enough.

[@saraza4977]

My thought immediately went to we would utilize them for war and trade. It's a living airplane. Silk Road? No hire a dragon waaaay faster. Man has a knack for taking an animal and making it useful to us. Just as we did with horses I think we would've tried with dragons. Possibly creating domestic species, slowly breeding for different jobs.

Morgan Green we've tamed a vicious animal before, they are called wolves

[@Grimsowerart]

Morgan Green Why does everyone refer to tigers as untameable? We've already done it and keep them as pets, yes they can kill you but so can your big dog. So to answer your question clip their wings when young to keep them from flying away ever and then feed and train them then do it to their offspring minus the wing clipping.

[@SummerRene]

I believe that cave people would find ways to domesticate dragons, similar to how they domesticated wolves!

[@debleb166]

[@MCFubex]

+Evan Heath To be specific, if the Celts did tame the dragons, it's when would they had done it??? I imagine say in 300BC that the Celts had successfully tamed dragons that flew and breathed fire, it's likely that when the Celts invaded Rome roughly in 200BC, they almost wiped out Ancient Rome at that time in our actual history... If the Carthage, the Greeks, the Egyptians and Mesopotamian civilizations had no knowledge on taming dragons, the Celts would've wiped out Rome since they would have been grounded while the Celts had aerial advantage over Rome and maybe attacked the Greeks and the Persians... Rome would have never expanded into Europe allowing Europe to stay Pagan... Without the roads that the Romans built, there would have been no quick passages to spread Christianity into Europe, Christianity or Islam wouldn't exist if the Celts had gone as far to attack and defeat the Biblical lands with their dragons... The Celtic, Slavic and the Germanic Tribes would rule over Europe and the Middle East unless if the Greeks or\and the Persians did tame dragons for warfare themselves... Just my imagination....

TheTheddi Not neccessarily. Look what happened with Nukes? One minute the US had them. But despite their best efforts to stop them, Russia and the UK VERY Quickly built their own. (This was a major sore point between Churchill and Truman, since much of the Manhatten Project was completed with British Scientists, who effectivly had their work confiscated and were expelled from the US, once the war was over. Something that REALLY pissed off Churchill.) Both nations built nuclear programs form scratch. Nowedays, Pakistan, India, Israel and N.Korea all have functioning Nukes - and are bound by NO Nuclear Treaties.

[@TheTheddi]

Haradion Drogon Yeah but that was very late in history when people were more aware of ethics and the countries were widely led by democracy. If it happened earlier, lets say 1.000 A.D. it would be different. Also, building nukes takes less time once you know how to build them. Domesticating dragons to the point where you can use them in war would take a lot more time, so the country with dragons wouldn´t have any reason to agree to international regulations.
