    ‘The Monster’ looks like a kobold, not a dragon. Perhaps he’s simply an envoy sent on the dragon’s behalf, to peacefully negotiate a peaceful resolution; I bet The Scoundrel is responsible for painting him in a bad light and framing him for the princess’s disappearance. Perhaps the Scoundrel himself is actually to blame for her abduction.

    In conclusion: The dragon did nothing wrong!

      1. It’s a puppet show, proper scale is a bit difficult to achieve.
      2. It’s the 19th century, everybody wore a dapper coat :)

      I like your reasoning though, sounds like a good premise for a remake!

    Awesome! I really like it.

    Question though: why does the maiden have Groot in her hair?

    That dragon isn’t kidnapping anybody. This little guy is too busy daydreaming, writing poetry, waxing philosophically, and smoking opium with lusty argonian wenches.
