    4.2 Building a Dragon
    Jan 24 2026

    Join us for a hands-on worldbuilding exercise in creating a dragon!

    Here are the 7 questions we answered in this episode, which can help guide you in building your own dragon.

    1. What hallmarks of traditional dragons are essential to keep in order for something to still be considered a dragon?
    2. What is our dragon’s intellectual capacity? Is it sentient, or more bestial?
    3. What is the full-grown size of our dragon?
    4. What does our dragon look like? Does it display any aspects of sexual dimorphism?
    5. What is our dragon’s diet?
    6. What is our dragon’s lifecycle?
    7. Does our dragon have any magical/supernatural powers?
