Inject your dragons behavior with the true nature of terrifying creatures.

Dragons have an incredibly vast history, mindbogglingly big. But if we look at the fact that dragons are pretty much an amalgam of all the real animals that have scared humans forever, then we've got something to work with, and draw ever more details from.

The most legendary of the legendary, dragons deserve an incredible moment at the table. In this first episode focusing on these beasts we want to look at their physical behaviors. Let's add some details will let you build tension and suspense, then immerse your table completely in their reveal. In Archives of the Ancients we pull inspiration from three categories of animals that have been a predator to humans throughout our evolution, and could be considered to largely inspire the dragon.

Merciless big cats

Scary ass birds of prey

F***-off nope reptiles

Then in Grandma B's Schoolhouse we look at one of the oldest versions of dragons, the Ouroboros, and discuss its many representations in different cultures like Jörmungandr of Norse Mythology. If you don't have something for your next dragon by the end of this episode, we'll mail you a real dragons tooth.
