The What is up, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Fudge Muppet Elder Scrolls podcast.

I'm Scott and I'm here with Michael and Drew, and today we are going to be talking all about the dragons and also the dragon cult.

So who wants to get us started with just some what are dragons, the general gist without diving into the deepest stuff just yet?

I guess they're one of the most fascinating creatures, if you could call them that, to grace the Older Scrolls universe.

But they're not a creature, unless you think Argonian's a creature because it looks like a lizard.

They're actually a highly intelligent race of flying, I guess you could call them reptilian, could you?

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely reptilian.

Flying reptilian beasts covered in scales, they have wings.

And I just want to clarify because I don't want any comment saying they're wyvens, not dragons.

That's such a stupid comment.

I know.

Because a wyven is just a type of dragon.

And that only really came about a few hundred years ago as well. But yeah, the general idea is, oh, only two legs. That means it's a Wyvern. Generally speaking, yeah. Was it a D&D thing? Or was it? No, I think it kind of like originated in like the 17, 1800s as being a designation. because it's like used in heraldry,

not so much they have any real folklore, but they're just a type of dragon. But to me, yeah, if it's in the older scrolls, they say it's a dragon, that's the dragon. In the same way, in Asian mythology, that the dragons like this sort of serpentine, scaled and furred kind of thing, and it doesn't necessarily have wings.

So, you know, that's not a dragon. It's a sky snake. Like, you know what I mean. And you actually see a lot of mythology about dragons being very similar to birds of prey as well,

because it's like very much rooted in the human idea of being terrified of snakes and birds of prey and things like that.

So, you know, it's very adaptable.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Anyway, so they're big flying creatures, but they're intelligent.
