You’ll mentally bond with whichever one you pick so they won’t kill you and you’ll be able to train them.

      They’re literally dinosaurs in the same way that humans and other vertebrates are literally fish. Which is to say you can describe them that way taxonomically, but the saying “birds are literally dinosaurs” is misleading and disingenuous.

        Awesome user name.

        But I can’t agree. While some birds have evolved well away from their roots, others haven’t changed much at all, and should realistically count. Not just the rhea either.

      You can pick whichever dinosaur you want though, if they want a chicken I’m cool with that, but its a boring choice.

    Is this the shapeshifting, intelligent kind of dragon? Because I wouldn’t want it as a pet but as a friend. That’s way nicer than having something that all my neighbors will treat the same way so many bigots treat pit bulls.

    I have pet dinosaurs already. It’s pretty fucking awesome.

    That being said, Dragon. But only because my kid really likes them.

    Not that I would let the kid ever touch the dragon, I just want to point and call them noob when they ask to, then do my “I have a dragon and you don’t” dance, then fly into the sky with it.

    I think I go dinosaur and pick a small one. I don’t wanna feed a damn dragon.

    Raptors seem like a good pick, I could train it to guard my house, and it probably wont cost a million dollars a month to feed.
