EXPLORE
Discover the dragons and tame them to learn more about their behaviors. Explore together, build your bond and see the world, because now? Now you have _DRAGONS_!
A MIND OF THEIR OWN
Dragons aren't mobs waiting for you to wander into range. Each one sees, hears and remembers, has a temperament all its own, and juggles a whole set of instincts: hunting, resting, exploring, playing, guarding its turf. None of it is scripted. It all _emerges_ from who the dragon is and what's going on around it, courtesy of the Fauna Engine.
Watch for a while before you walk up. You'll learn a lot, and so will your Book.
NO TWO ALIKE
Every dragon carries its own genes, which decide its colors, markings and patterns, and how tough, fast and fiery it turns out. Common coats are everywhere; some are rare enough that you'll remember where you were when you saw one.

PROGRESSION
Any Hooligan worth their salt carries a BOOK OF DRAGONS 
. To get your own copy, buy it from a certain travelling Hooligan merchant who shows up as soon as you first _Acquire Hardware_.
A _totally not suspicious_ trader, check out his wares!
HUNTING
The Book of Dragons updates as you interact with each dragon. Not sure where to find them? The Hooligans can sell you some maps pointing to the nearest roost! That handy _viking anvil_ also helps him craft some gear to keep you in one piece in case things get _heated_.
Spoiler
Viking Anvil Harness the power of the hammer! Craft it with the recipe above, or buy one from the Hooligan Drifter.
Dragon Whistle
Call one dragon over from anywhere, as long as you're outside in the Overworld!
Rattle-Staff
Command your entire army of dragons with even more authority!
TAMING:
- Taming is a long process of befriending a dragon. Make sure to Strip all armor and make sure you're not holding any weapon/ shield;
- Pay close attention to the dragon, tend to its needs, and you'll soon earn the trust of a new dragon friend!
Always make sure to check the BOOK OF DRAGONS for data on the dragons and progression!
Food is only the start, though. Every species has its own idea of how trust is earned.
_Slowly now!_
