drawing of a cute little dragon standing on a flower meadow. The fuzzy dragon has a puppy-face, two horns, two paws, and a scaly tail. It also, very noticeably, has a human face with a beard growing out of its back. The flower meadow the dragon is standing on is supported by a big leaf and this is surrounded by other greenery and decorations.
Wow, what was he smoking…?
@medieval_illuminations When you do heavy work all day and your back pleas for mercy
@medieval_illuminations Only two legs...Wyvern?
@medieval_illuminations petting this cute dragon would be socially awkward, I imagine
