I've read a multitude of fantasy books, seen many films, played many fantasy games.
I was wondering what the exact lore was like, its been a while since DD so its a bit a blur.
Anyway, the lore that suited me best was the one were dragons are magical beeings, instead of just monsters. They are polymorphers and the dragon-form isn't their usual "form". In fact for obvious reason they would prefer the human form in many cases. But they can't hide their true nature completely. They eyes for one have an extreme depth and a red (or in this case) a blue gleam. They allways seem to be smoking a cigaret, or in medievel settings a pipe. To cover up they breath out small puffs of smoke.
I hate to think of dragons as just big scary flying firespitting monsters and just you happen to be able to morph into one.
