Mondays kind of suck but dragon breasts are fun.
Wait, WTF? Yes, female dragons have breasts with magenta colored nipples! You can learn a lot from eighteenth-century French decorative arts.

This pun is hilarious, but Victor Frankenstein would absolutely not fucking say that.
Objectively the correct answer is hatchlings :3
Boetius à Bolswert - Allegorie op de Wereld (Allegory of the World), c. 1590. A young man stands on a ledge of the abyss where he grasps a branch of honey. Death, represented as a unicorn, is threatening and bristling through the nostrils. Four snakes crawl from cracks in the wall, symbolizing the four elements of fire, earth, air and water. A fire-breathing dragon waits with the raised claws between the flames of hell for the fall of the young man.
This is 100% how the world feels tbh
I have a book with this image in it and the accompanying story. The book is called The Unicorn by Nancy Hathaway. It’s a history of the creature along with short stories from different countries, with a modern tale at the end.
It’s a pretty widespread story, in Muslim versions it’s often a camel instead of an unicorn.
Honestly a camel can be terrifying.
I already posted the camel version :-}

"In Hasselø-noret is a mud floc called the Bonnet or the Black Bonnet, as it's just a slurry of black mud with no real bed to be found. Yes, nowadays it has dried up, but it wasn't many years ago that you couldn't find the bed with an eel spear and even now the bed is unreliable. There, down in the Bonnet lives the eel king. He has a mane like a horse and he huffs like a horse. The eel spearers could sometimes spear him, but they could never drag him out of the water, so they only ever saw his upper body. By the way, it was also rare that they caught real eels there in the Bonnet."
Told by Karen Toxværd from Sillestrup. Collected by Evald Tang Kristensen for "Danish lore as told by common folk," volume 2 (1893)

map showing the way europe played 5d ping pong with its words for vampires. had to do my own damn map of this so i thought i'd share it cause why not
some words of explanation:
my sources:
it is also still simplified a lot as i omitted other words in other languages about similar phenomena, like the romanian moroi and vârcolac (which is also related to vukodlak, wilkołak etc), the other greek type of "vampire" that was the tympaniaioi and a lot of polish regional variants that i know of like łopi, upierz etc etc
