Its getting kind of off topic I know, But Raistlin wasn't a dragon azokka, he was a red, and then a black, mage.  Though he did have a green dragon under his control for a while.

(Still off topic) Yes, but if I were to name a dragon after Raistlin.

As for more on topic things . . . I completely want all of the medieval clothes that are coming with this world! The closest thing I have is the Happily Ever After set from the store, which doesn't have much for men, so I'm definitely looking forward to more clothes along those lines.

Does anyone know if the Dragons count as a familiar for Witches?

Ooo, that's a good question. I already know I'm getting this (my infamous roommate looked at me the other day, "NO! You cannot buy this!"), especially after that adorable picture of the purple dragon sleeping. If the dragons can also be familiars, that would lead to a couple more questions. Are they considered pets like cats/dogs/horses, or more like the minor pets that don't take up household space? And can the dragons breed?

I think no. You can buy them in Buy Mode. That doesn't seem like a Pet mechanic. And if they were, wouldn't they require Pets to play? So I think not.

There is a new image on FB showing all three of the already revealed dragons asleep close together, but there also seems to be a fourth hidden by black smoke/mist. It looks black, but I suppose it could be any colour.
I would put the image in here, but I am not sure on how to do that with facebook pictures.

You're right, Lysita, that really does look like a dark-coloured dragon over on the left side under the black smoke.  I wonder if it's meant to be a dead dragon.  Which makes me wonder about the lifespan these little guys will have - does anyone know?  I hate to see animals die, so I always turn off pet aging when I have an animal in the game, but turning off aging doesn't stop birds from dying, and their lifespan seems very short to me.  I hope the dragons will live a little longer than the birds do.

Anyone else notice how their wingsails and headspikes differ from their body colour? The red's headspikes are still red, and it's wingsails are but more brown-ish. The purples headspikes seem to be kind of yellowy-green, it's body spikes are rather prominent, and it's wingsails are blue. The green's headspikes are kind of brown, as are it's wingsails, which does actually makes sense seeing how it's connected to the earth, it just looks a little weird. I'm used to dragons being all the same colour albeit with markings in the same colour range, such as blue with lighter or dark blue markings. Like Pam I am rather into Pern, so that's where I draw most of my dragon inspiration from. Although saying that, I tend to choose non-canon sites. Not that I don't like the canon colours, I just like to see and try other colours that people come up with. But I digress, I look forward to finding out what that fourth dragon's colour actually is.

I'm sure they'll live as least as long as "normal" pets in Sims, otherwise it would be extremely depressing. I have this kind of weird fantasy that dragons "bind" themselves to a sim and live as long as that Sim does, then die at the same time. It would be very . . . poetic. Still, I doubt that's going to happen.

I have to say I'm excited.  It's not the medieval characters using cell phones or the dragons burning my enemies that has me excited.

It's the townies with pointed ears and multi colored skin sliders.

I'm still hoping for a blue dragon.  Wonder if it could be blue and have dark markings and the smoke distore the colors?

Each time I see something to do with the Dragons I want it, then I see something to do with the Island expansion pack and I want it.  Trying to figure out a way to have both. 
Dragon wins by coming out first, but still hoping I can get the Island one. 

Okay, back on topic.  Are we able to have all of the dragons, not limited to a set number?  I'm curious also like others of how long they live.  I would imagine a longer life span than the ones in Pets, closer to the sims lifespans.  Which then has me wondering, can they be given the elixer of fountain of youth?  I can imagine giving my sim that elixer when she or he gets close to the end of Adult and wanting my pet dragon to live longer with me (I mean my sim).  Can get kinda confusing sometimes when you are talking about your sim and it sounds like you are talking about yourself.

Just be all logical and everything.

(Though on reflection, that's actually a good thing. I don't particularly like the Pets motives, because it somehow seems they need to be refilled four times a day.)

But in the end, that's okay! We get adorable dragons!

As a big fan of Pern dragons, I'm a tiny bit disappointed in the colors so far.  Only the green would be on Pern.  These dragon babies also have two fewer limbs than Pern dragons.  But that's all ok because they are still so cute and I bet they'll be great fun to play with.

I haven't had the chance yet to read any of the Pern books, though I have heard good things about them.  There are just a lot of them now I think.  Not sure if my library has all of them in the system.

I read all of the Pern books last year, and I think it's time for a re-read. I do remember that most of the dragons were metallic, not colorful.
