Dragons are lumpen. They steal, scam and grift and get fortunes, but they have no relation to the means of production.
Discuss.
Dragons can have slaves and do in many contexts. Also, demand payment from lands they threaten to destroy. The capitalist analogy is just.
They do also occupy mines and workable land and prevent other people from working them. Maybe they are capitalists. Convinced.
In Pathfinder, there is a dragon who does eugenics experiments on people he invites to his own private island
It took the writers a while to make up their minds over whether or not this counted as evil (it is, now)
I would like to hear Brace go on about the different kinds of dragons
I haven't gotten anything from 2nd edition so I don't know, but I remember they finally settled on him becoming lawful evil from doing that shit in one of the later adventure modules
So you’re telling me dragons eating royalty, stealing their gold, and upholding the volcel oath is somehow a bad thing?
You’re being racist rn
New Shadowrun games have the best depiction of dragons IMO.

Counterpoint: He cut off a lot of monarchs' heads, abdicated his throne(s), broke all binds and oaths, saved the world, and despised slavery. Also all the bad stuff falls under the "literally going insane from magic" excuse, therefore uncritical support.
Like all of Robert Jordan's characters, he's remarkably flawed and illogical, although he may get a pass due to slowly manifesting magic schizophrenia.
