Anyone know when/if there will be a beta test?

"I want dragons to act like REAL dragons"
Irony.

There's no concept of real dragons. The closest thing you've got is of the Komodo Variety, which leaves a lot for the imagination. Dragons can be anything you want, no one has defined what they are officially.

Well almost all dragons can fly (even the wingless asian ones) and most occidental dragons breathe fire or some other nasty substance

Uh-huh. And who defined it? Dragons can be flightless or fireless, it's up to the designers not some generic definition. Though I'm in favour of flying-fire-breathing, my point is it's up to the imagination as no one can define them infallibly.

Well there are different people who defined dragons.

European dragons were defined by some king.
Chinese dragons were defined by someone from the Ying (or however you spell it) dynasty.
Leviathan dragons (which aren't really dragons) were defined by the bible.
I forget lindworms and frost dragons, but they were both defined by the same person who made up the pheonix myth.

Weren't they defined after some Saint supposedly killed one to save a town?

No, the king defined it about 200 years before that, the Saint just made the myth about killing one.

If what you say is true, then it's probably not even the Saint that made the myth, but probably some follower a few decades later.

Well all we know is, someone defined it.

St George you mean?
And all of those, are they really set in stone? Can one put a limit on the imagination? I think not.
