Raising Dragons Doesn't Come With A Manual

Let's be honest, raising a dragon isn't comparable with teaching your average house pet. There are no experts who have mastered the intricacies of their peculiar biology, and forget about finding a instruction sheet that outlines everything from emitting hot breath to dragon diplomacy. You're on your own, keeper, and the only framework is trial and mistake.
