Question

what is anyone not responding!?

Because you're impatient.

You only gave us 2.5 hours to reply.

And, I suggested a similar idea once, but it was a long time ago, so I can hardly blame you for not knowing.

As a rule of thumb, if you want your ideas to be commented on, you have to provide a lot more detail, and do so in an organized way. Most people (myself included) can't always think of all the details, caveats, and consequences involved with a suggestion (hence the existence of these forums!), while other ideas are just so clear and amazing that they don't need much detail, so this is only a rule of thumb and not a requirement.

But to address your suggestion directly, I recommend adding as many details about this monster as you can, e.g. what levels it appears in, boss fight description (if applicable), maybe a drop table, attack patterns, etc. Tell us more about the practical implementation of dragons.

@Imperialstriker:

This is called natural equilibrium.
When too many smart people appear on the forum, someone with his intellect, or lack of it thereof, will ensure that the forum's average IQ doesn't go too high.

Though with him around, I reckon average IQ will never surpass 60.

Refer to this post when acknowledging Bluebrawler/Code-Alpha.

I am not going to post a silly video link because this nonsense makes me liquid 3% more often.

I'm sorry

This post wasn't well thought out. Just spilling out my innards on the internet.

Proceed with the flaming

Hey, no worries.

Just keep it civil and you'll do fine. See you in the Clockworks! ;)

What bout..

What about it's a lower price expansion mission (about 2-4 $) where there are tokens and you can use it to get stuff like Dragon Katana or stuff like that. Dragon falls under beast

Just my opinion. Nothing personal.

Any generic dragon gets -1 from me for not being creative enough. Dragons are overused in all Fantasy Sword&Sorcery themed games. Let them stay there. SK is rather unique with its monsters - they are mostly either original (where else you will find puppy-shaped turrets or cat-like ghosts?) or iconic but spiced up with some twisted sense of humour (Giant Slime Kings). I'm not saying creative dragons are impossible, but rather unlikely.

I wouldn't say that

True dragons are reptilians like the chromalisk, but dragons are huge creatures of intimidation and devastation. They are more likely to sort of be a boss.

People have been making suggestions to have dragons in the game since last year, but they are still not here.

They probably are not going to be in the game because we will just make them extinct just like the dinosaurs when cave knights got them.

I'm pretty sure the dragons

I'm pretty sure the dragons went extinct around the same time the vog cubs did.

Probably tasted just as good

Not so fast, Jack

This one is better behaved than the original, does not link irrelevant video clips, and recognizes constructive criticism.

When i read the title, I imagine a steampunk robotic bronze dragon full of gears, pipes, steam and stuff.

We could use another T3 boss for the people w/o the DLC...

Steampunk Mecha Dragon!

Godzilla Chromalisk or Super Scuttlebot? Nevermind...

A steampunk dragon would be cool. It would likely be a graphics hog the way I've imagined it, though. For a degree of twist, it could be a very impressionable dragon that cowers in fear at a sufficiently powerful display of might, maybe allowing it to be damaged.
