if i were a dragon i'd be a green furred noodle (luck) dragon. but as with my cat, i'd be from a world where the sapient people ARE dragons. so it isn't like i'd BE any different, just how i look.
some times you feel like a duck, some times you don't, ducks have wings, cats don't. everything is different in a different enough place. people who don't want places to be different, can all go to their own same same place. claws are for climbing trees, and making things too tiny for fingers to pick up. teeth are for eating of course, if you still have any. wings, well, if you can find a place to take off from and land, you can get a good view of the surrounding countryside, if the weather cooperates, and you fly just high enough to clear the trees and buildings. everything steers clear of humans though, too dangerous and unpredictable they are. i can be a cat with wings. somewhere there's a world where that is what people are. we are not a limited selection from some finite list.
