(Loiosh would kill me if I had used the words > "pet dragon" instead...) And the dragons (sic) on this replacement for Vlad on the covers of the books are way too big and heavy to be carried around by someone who needs the ability to move quickly. Adding a couple of legs, makes them awful awkward to carry as well. Heck, a parrot or Cockatoo can make you clumsy. Jheregs have to be smaller than illustrated. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
