JonatasAdoM honestly we humans are like these creatures because we kill in order to survive just like they do, including each other. everyday we are killing animals just to survive. If dragons attacked us it would probably be for self defense because if I had to guess people would go bother them just to look at them or something.
I see dragons being treated in a similar fashion we treat elephants. At first, they'd be seen as either weapons of war (for their flying, fire, & brute strength) or creatures to be worshiped (depending on the region). Dragons would also be hunted and exploited for their organs to be used in traditional medicine, the black market, & their eggs/babies would be used for exotic foods or illegal pets. Eventually, humanity would grow to love and respect dragons and set up numerous organizations & preserves to protect and study them.
The problem with that idea might be that they aren't slow moving and mostly calm/friendly as a result of being herbivores They may be a much bigger threat than any carnivore that humanity had ever faced was and, as a consequence, might be hunted to extinction very early in history. But I like the idea that we'd domesticate them like we did the second biggest threat, wolves. Pug dragons.
Oh God, I can see the commercials... "Every day, 2,000 dragons are hunted illegally, and their populations are dwindling." (Shot of a dragon roaring in pain or sadness) "You can help. Each donation goes to saving a baby dragon. Act now and get a free plushie and an 'I saved a dragon' tee shirt."
Depending on how early they were introduced, technically humans COULD tame them. As long as they provide a controlled source of livestock, eventually they could technically become domesticated, maybe becoming smaller and relying on humans. Wild, dangerous dragons would most likely be kept in big cages after humans gain knowledge of strong metal alloys etc. keeping them from going extinct (Although, they may go extinct before this happens, which would be pretty anti-climatic.) and dying off. I guess another option is that they keep humans from ever taking over the earth like what happened with us.
+SRDA Sabre AAANNNNDDD today it's the Muslims trying to make us convert and threatening to kill us if we don't. They are still living in the Middle Ages
TheTwistedDoctor but always remember friend. The Emus still managed to kill three fine Australian soldiers and though they killed 20,000 Emus they still lost.
It would be controversial. Being such a demonic symbol for so long would surely upset some religions. Especially with the fact that they are befriended in the movie.
TheRealDeathstroke Hey, people are warming up to the ideas of gay marriage. Might as well add dragons in the mix....I don't mean marrying dragons cause that um...that is...um.....just weird.
Depending on how intelligent they'd be, I can see a scenario similar to the original Dragonheart where a so called heroic dragon slayer makes a deal with a dragon and sets up a fairly lucrative scam. The dragon "attacks" the village and steals a few sheep or cattle. The "brave" knight comes in and offers to drive off or kill the dragon for a fee. An impressive battle ensures and the dragon runs away. The knight meets up with the dragon a day or so later and splits the proceeds, lather, rinse and repeat.
Me remembering nasuverse lore about them: Dragon Kind are considered the pinnacle of Phantasmal Species. They have members in all three classes of Magical Beasts, and they are considered to be the greatest species within each corresponding class. Due to there being Monstrous, Phantasmal, and Divine class dragons, they have been involved with mankind since before the Age of Gods, and left many legends in the field of thaumaturgy due to having freely intermixed with humans in the past.
I'd still not feel safe around a dragon if it were smart. "If you see a worm on the street, you don't try to communicate with it. You either crush it or walk past." -Neil Degrasse Tyson Has anyone ever seen Reign of Fire? You can be safe from a dragon is you have a 7MM Remington Magnum. Maybe. Possibly.
While the modern world would be able to take care of this problem, the ancient world would be severely disadvantaged. I think the presence of dragons would hinder human progress due to them being a threat to agriculture, livestock, and commerce. Even if you were to send groups of people after them, dragons are HUGE. It would take something massive to kill them, like a ballista, which wasn't invented until 400 BC. Assuming that dragons would have existed since the dawn of mankind, I don't think we would be where we are today if dragons existed.
***** While that would be pretty freaking awesome, the fact that they were so large and we would be dwarfed by them would cause our ancestors to fear them or worship them, most likely the former, not to mention how we would even be able to let them live with us due to their size. Plus, if these are the fire-breathing variants, it would be nearly impossible to tame them.
When i hear "dragon", i think of the "How To Train Your Dragon" dragons. Basically, dragons that are awesome, and can be a man's best friend. The best kind of dragon
When I hear dragon I imagine the Skyrim dragons who appear like European animalistic beasts with the human like intelligence that eastern Asian dragons were said to have.
+Dark5 I'm going to take it as one big coincidence we both made a dragon video at the same time. And mentioned each other at the end. And in the intros. Yeah, we'll call it that
I feel like there would be three things happening, other than the one you said: 1) dragons would just kill all of us: if anyone in the middle ages got even remotely near to a wake dragon would just be killed, because the armor would show him and the fire would kill him and melt the armor. 2) evolution: Humans are bipedal because they needed to see above the grass and have opposed thumbs (idk if you say it like that) because they needed to grab things, so humans would have evolved as something stronger or more aware to avoid being killed by dragons, for example we could have a pangolin like natural armor that protects from flames and sharp teeth/claws or we'd be able to spot a dragon at great distances and to efficiently hide from it. 3) tames dragons: Humans somehow found a way to make wolves docile and turned them into dogs, and also tamed felines to get cats, even if it would be quite hard, since dragons would be hard to deal with, we'd probably find a way to tame one, like we did with wolves, that were dangerous too: probably some dumb kid wouldn't understand that the small lizard in front of him is a baby dragon and would tame it without noticing, or maybe some brave (or crazy) enough man would look for an egg and give the imprinting to the baby dragon, maybe after a party had killed the parents and found the nest they'd try to get the eggs and give the imprinting like that, or maybe they got an egg in some other way, but probably something like this would happen. I think that either the number 1 happens or both the number 2 and 3 happen at the same time, it all depends on wether the humans' ancestors are able to survive enough to adapt or simply die too early and we just never go past the australopitecus phase
Well wait until the Dragon finds out your kind has killed there parent's well you will die and dragons on adult size will pick out your bones and eat all other parts left of you well wait your a kind of right if dragons had opinions and some will be a fan of people some will be a fan of killing them
That's a good comment! I don't think taming is an option though, since dragons are too dangerous and domestication would not work the way it did with wolves. Wolves are assumed to have more or less domesticated themselves since some stuck around human camps voluntarily to feed on their garbage. This new food source changed their genetic pressure towards friendlyness (aggressive ones would not be tolerated close to the camps) and outwardly features that are interesting to humans and make them more likely to feed the "cute" wolves. Also the new food source made their size decrease since they didn't have to be tall predators anymore, therefore the extra height was unnecessary body mass that required unnecessarily high amounts of calories.
@@fairytala Thank you! And great points, but please consider (it's going to be long and based on my view on the issue): we tamed lions, tigers and bears, trained them and used them in circuses for years, and they are basically the apex predators of their respective habitats. (tamed, not domesticated) All you need to tame and train a species is a reliable way to survive it's attacks and to kill it's members (cruel, I know). And if a primitive human couldn't, technology will eventually suffice. For domestication, its very different, but we did domesticate wolves, who could easily kill an human. That's probably because they weren't the apex predators and some found out that eating our scraps was easier that hunting and more or less as efficient. So, assuming dragons differentiate, hence creating various species of varying sizes, a smaller dragon will not be an Apex, hence it might find itself in the same condition wolves found themselves in when they got domesticated. An important part of the domestication is human evolution: if humans evolve to resist fire from bigger dragons and some bites, a smaller dragon's fire breath and bites will probably do very little damage to humans (consider, a dog can kill you, but it won't be as fast or efficient as a lion). If the evolved humans could naturally negate damage from the weaker firebreathing and shrug off their bites to some extent, they could domesticate dragons, simply by being above them in the food chain: We have lots of food, we throw away some, small dragons find out they can eat our scraps without having to hunt and compete against the big ones, we eventually start actively feeding them, they slowly evolve in dragon-dogs. Basically: Taming requires the ability to kill it, survive it's attacks and imprison it (even through technology) Domestication requires the natural ability to survive it's attacks (and kill it), a higher place on the food chain (you can't domesticate something that eats you regularly) and a different apex predator that poses a big threat to it's survival (mainly by making it hard for it to feed, hence making it more convenient for it to be fed from humans than to hunt for food) So, through evolution we could domesticate small dragons, and through technology we could tame and train bigger and more dangerous ones (maybe even use them as mounts, eventually)
To clarify on the fire resistance: If humans evolve to resist fire from bigger dragons to the point that any temperature under a certain point will simply have no effect on them (like beating steel with a stick), and the effects of higher temperatures will be extremely mitigated (beating a block of steel with a light hammer) unless the temperature gets extremely high (beating steel with a very heavy and pointy hammer), a flame coming from a small dragon, which will be colder than a big one's, will last for a shorter period of time and will affect a smaller area, would have little to no effect on a human, and hence allow us to survive everyday life with a relatively small dragon just like we survive everyday life with a dog (who could kill us, but isn't efficient enough to do it by accident, and has a slightly hard time doing so if we fight back) If we negate damage from firebreathing, a dragon and a wolf aren't that different, expecially if other animals evolve in a similar way. And if getting set on fire was a daily occurrence we would have to evolve this way simply to survive and reproduce, hence it isn't too much of a stretch to say that we would eventually be able to shrug off a small dragon's fire. (think of thick isolating skin, which would also help with bites and scratches from smaller dragons, or even an exoskeleton) (extremely thick skin is also why hyppos just don't care when predators attack them and are basically tanks)
(I'm sorry for the stupidly long answers but online classes are boring and make it way too easy to think about this stuff and write overly detailed and chaotic descriptions of the thought process)
You need to talk about Temeraire. it's alternate napoleonic war where dragon exist, are of similar smarts to human and been "tamed". The taming is more inprinting upon them.
Cool! I love the blending of history and possible alternate timelines... with dragons. Thanks for this! Will see if I can pickup a copy at my local library. :)
If dragons, like the ones you've just described, are real... Hot dang it'll take a loooong time to kill them off until we get gunpowder First off, dragons are depicted with armor-like scales, and they can fly. Do you have any idea how many knights and shez would get BBQ'ed by those things during a hunt? Of course they got ballista's, but dragons can out-maneuver the things pretty easily I'd imagine... Although, I could be wrong... humanity always tried to find a workaround when it comes to difficult enemies...
Nathan Singleton upon reaching the point of being able to mass produce high velocity firearms, it’s end of the dragons for good. On the contrary, after that many years of conflict they’d be driven into extinction in less than a year.
Anita Hegerland Or the dragons could just see all of the large wooden villages of early man that were being created at the dawn of civilization as all you can eat buffets, and SERIOUSLY discourage humanity from grouping up like that, meaning it would be all but impossible for human civilization, along with technology, from developing farther than the early Bronze Age
@@Wrath_Incarnate True, BUT... There's also the possibility that because of the dragons, humanity would try to find underground shelters or carve out their own (with entrances dragons can't fit in of course), and maybe they'll still advance that way, but because of that, open regions throughout the world might be left behind or depopulated
Nathan Singleton Nathan Singleton That maybe true, but due to that, technology would’ve had a seriously different path than it did in our timeline, especially war, where it’s extremely unlikely that weapons like ballistas and catapults, or at least developed in a way similar to how we developed them. Instead technology would’ve been focused on attempting to make the caves that humanity that made their homes in as livable as possible, and even then, food would of been a big problem seeing as they would still have to travel out of the caves in order to farm, which still has the chance of just randomly getting destroyed by a dragon, especially if these dragons are intelligent enough to figure out that land formations of farms would means humans would be nearby.
back in the day, way, way back... someone stumbled upon a skull and some skeleton parts of a t-rex. not knowing and understanding what those were, thus, dragons were "born"!
No, as you know, we come from a hominid species in áfrica, the dragon is a weird fusion betwen a snake, a raptor and a feline, thingss that use to hunt humans
Too be fair modern humans would domesticate cute and harmless types of dragons that are harmless and breath little to no fire, but the super dragons (What I call the Stereotypical Dragons, like the ones on the video) would be wild dangerous animals, animal activists would protect endangered ones, would also be in zoos too. Look at felines and canine breeds in the animal kingdom, we can raise cats and dogs, but not wolves, tigers nor lions without a licence. There would be a mix of dragons.
Let's begin the count down to the day artificial "dragons" developed from genetic manipulation of reptiles and birds becomes available on the market shipped direct via drone delivery for Amazon prime members. Also available giraffe, that stand 8 inches in height full grown. Then coming soon after, download and customize your dragon with dragonCAD and print it to life with a consumer 3D bio-printer. Also available "chicken egg" showing everyone that the egg came first.
spartan 1649 Nah because they would have a use in war like dogs or horses have had...sure we would domesticate them and fit them in purses but I don't think we would completely exterminate dragons
@@DrRitterstein point taken, though even if we clone them their clones would be exact copies of their original selves so if you cant tame the original one you cant tame the clone, i think we would lock them up in cages that are strong enough for their weight and claws and fire resistant then study them so we could find a way to create weapons (likely robots) to match them, maybe even create ways to control them.
Dragons are like reptiles. Komodo Dragons don't give a shit or are intelligent enough to be mastered. They just care about food and mating. They're not dogs.
While that depiction is more realistic, I like to believe we'd get a How To Train Your Dragon type world. Way cooler. I imagine people starting to protect them as an endangered species as humans slowly drove them to extinction; and possibly trying to tame them, as who tf wouldn't want to ride a dragon
Exactly what I was thinking. In today's world we'd probably treat them like we do any other wild/dangerous animal. I don't know if they'd actually be trainable though, but hey, if you can train a lion or a tiger you could potentially tame a dragon.
This video made me think of "A Thing of Vikings". It's a story that's at the crossroads of fan fiction an alternate history. The premise is dragons are real and the events of the first "How To Train Your Dragon" film happened in the year 1040. The story deals with the consequences of a tribe of Vikings having 'domesticated' dragons. Its easily the longest peace of fan fiction I've seen (its longer than the seven books in the Harry Potter series combined).
I feel like dragons would become the new horses of the earlier civilizations. The people who were able to domesticate the few species of dragons that were able to be tamed (ones that were smaller and had more community organization) would be far superior to the civilizations that didn't . And if these dragons could fly, air planes would probably never exist. Dragons would be the WMD's.
Probably Feudalism would be kept up and alive because an elite noble class would exist to train and ride those dragons. Dragon Knights orders basically.
Humans would never domesticate dragons, for the same reason they never domesticated Tigers; They are WAY to dangerous and difficult to contain. Domestication requires capturing, containing and controlling an animal for many generations. Even if you stole a dragon egg to raise one from infancy, the dragon out of instinct would most likely kill you when it grew large enough and escape from any enclosure you might put him in. The only way to get rid of those dangerous natural instincts would be to breed multiple generations of dragons, but that would be impossible without a way to control and contain them... also depending on how long dragons live and how quickly the reproduce it could take centuries to achieve good results; not many kings are gonna push for a dangerous and expensive dragon domestication program that would only benefit their great, great, great, great, great, grandson.
Ahnaf Ahmad if dragons were similar to crocodiles, it would be very difficult to tame them. Might not be impossible, but only a couple of cultures on earth would be able to do it. Given how certain tribes in Africa have learned how to have a good working relationships with crocodiles,Countries around the Nile would be the most likely place for dragons to be tamed and domesticated.
+TheSamuel9464 I doubt if anything, dragons would be hampering our ability to tame elephants due to the fact that elephants would probably be their main food source. This would mean if you were be near elephants, you would literally be in the path of a hungry dragon
To be honest, I think that if the Wings of Fire dragons existed, it could go either two ways: One: We figure out how to tame them and I'd be living with a RainWing. Two: Something like the scorching could happen and we would end up like the Scavengers.
Well, one logical extreme result would be something akin to Bioshock, where highly individualistic mindsets cross with incredibly powerful individuals and a twinge of crazy. Make bioshock's scenario slightly less extreme, and on a global scale, and you'd get a good candidate for what would happen. If magic was real, and everybody had crazy magic powers, governments and societies would be far more difficult to form due to humans not having to sustain themselves through the assistance of one another. The best you'd get are bandit villages and cults, run by people far more lenient about how they use their powers than the common majority. Agriculture and Domestication would exist on a very small scale, with constant and highly successful magic-assisted looting and banditry making any growth in those areas difficult. In short: Everybody would be too powerful to allow any big governments to form, and most cultures would prioritize looting and ransacking over long-term agricultural development, so there are only small villages.
Dragongamer UK I've always believed that the dragons that did burn down villages were a very small minority, but unfortunately, due to most other dragons staying hidden from us, they were the only ones we ever knew, and so, we got a tainted image of what dragons are like... do you agree?
What if Pyrrhus of Epirus had been able to unify Greece against Rome or even hold on to his lands in mainland Italy and potentially overcome the Romans?
Dragon slaying as a job XD. I theorize that humans would do learn to do better than fight dragons. Maybe with the advances in engineering we figured out a way to gather our dying, malnourished or sick livestock and use them as a sort of Dragon sanctuaries, strategically placed so that dragons would would be confined to a certain perimeter and not attack human population for food as often. Warding off or killing vagrant dragons could become a legitimate roll in the roster of farmlands. Rearing livestock in numbers might take priority over quality in certain breeds, we might start breeding beef cattle specifically to be plump and worthy dragon hunt. Dragon droppings could become a harvestable resource for farmers which is brought by designated personnel. Dragons might become an essential part of our economy and a city being in a vicinity of Dragon sanctuaries might profit a lot. Heck we might actually end up domesticating dragons which could become pets, security guards,personal transport for those who can afford to raise a dragon and of course, a foil against wild dragons, Hunter dragons. Dragon eggs would we an item of luxury. All of this will happen only if we find a dragon species as smart if not smarter than dogs. Hold my beer, i gotta do some worldbuilding.
Well, see that's the thing. Dragons are drastically superior to anything in their natural environment, which means they would quickly consume their environments resources...and then die. They're not like humans, who make sure the prey successfully reproduces more food before death, they're hunters, and massive, destructive fire breathing ones at that. First, they'd need to eat a lot to sustain their bodies and firey breath, meaning they'd eat a ton of large and especially medium herbivores, many to extinction. Due to their environmentally destructive hunting habits, plants would have a harder time growing back to help replenish the herbivore shortage, meaning way less herbivores overall. And so the population of dragons would greatly, GREATLY diminish, even more so than other over-consumptive carnivores, and even MORE so when you consider dragons are often represented as lone hunters, meaning they'd be prone to fight and eat eachother for survival. In the end, there may be 1 or 2 dragons in an area the size of a small country if you're *lucky.* Meanwhile, the presence of dragons would force adaptive primates and other omnivorous human-like ancestors into small, hidden hunter-gatherer communities, When nature eventually bounced back from the dragons' overconsumption, these communities would repopulate and advance before the dragons had a chance to, as a small community system allows for far easier growth than longer lived loners. The humans would develop agriculture and domestication before the dragons had the chance to repopulate, and once they became a nuisance, we'd finally slay them to extinction. (Likely during winter months when food was scarcer for humans and cold-blooded dragons would move too sluggishly to defend themselves) In short: Dragons murder everything to near extinction, dragons starve to near extinction, humans repopulate because humans are better at repopulation, humans take over, near-extinct dragons are wiped out.
Rabano Doom But if they were a naturally evolved animal then would have only evolved if there were the resources to sustain them. Take the movie Reign of Fire. the dragons in that feed on ash. They burn the world around them and feed of the what is leftover. Or if they are a reptile, as they are often depicted, then they would have a slower metabolism. Crocodiles can go up to a year without food. Plus humans are the exception to the rule that apex predators only occur in smaller numbers than their prey. There only are ever as many as the resources and habitat can sustain.
But if dragons existed, humans wouldn't be here any longer. Dragons have fire breathing mouths. And thats impossible to survive fire, if the dragon could breathe of fire, then it could do anything! Plus, if they were here, there would be real videos of them. Internet is always a lie. All editing & photoshop. Plus, if you say they are hiding to not get harmed by humans: 1. They can fly, and can easily eat humans or any other creatures. 2. How do you expect them to think whats wrong or whats right? They don't have a brain. Infect, none animals have a brain. Thats the difference between them and us. We have a brain, and we know whats right and whats wrong. But they don't, in what way do you think they are hiding of us?! I mean how do they know they are gonna get harmed? As i said they don't have a sense.
@@zzaii_x Humanity would most likely, *not* go extinct. As megafauna, they would need a LOT of food, like, a LOT a LOT. So they'd mostly be depopulated and live in small pockets, and even then competition would be fierce where many of them would survive by eating eachother. This means that overall, Dragons would be secluded & unable to populate the entire globe, allowing Humanity to survive in a select few regions, until eventually the Dragons either A: go extinct B: are killed in a dragon crusade
I know exactly what would happen if dragons were real. There'd be crazy bastards that will try and tame them, and some would succeed. You'll scoff at a trained lion when you could have a tamed dragon.
Necrikus I mean, dragons can have their uses. Resources such as scales and bones, which would be considered extremely tough, transportation as early planes, to terrifying war assets that can wreck havoc and destroy cities. Taming dragons wouldn't be a bad idea, but to maintain them would be a nightmare, due to their size and probably a huge metabolism. Whole entire cities would have to be devoted for single dragon.
The people that succeeded would have began human civilization. Some people would fear them but most would have viewed those Dragon Riders as more than normal humans, almost godlike.
If (when) that were the case, then we'd probably start breeding them to be smaller, specifically so we could afford the upkeep. At which point, Dragons would transition into something more like Wyverns, and Wyvern cavalry becomes the decider in wars until someone is able to get guns and planes to work well enough.
Дмитрий Мордовин I wouldn’t say ineffective. Due to their size and scales, they’d be similar to tanks of the sky. They’d be impervious to small arms fire, fighter pilot machine guns would have a hard time hurting them, and missiles and rockets would be devastating. The intimidation factor is not to be underestimated as well. Also if you consider that most of the weapons used in D-day were small arms and artillery, they would be quite useful. Especially to clear out German pill boxes. A machine gunner would have to be really lucky or fire large caliber rounds to hurt it. Though if the dragon faced a squadron of fighters with missiles, then things would quickly go south. I would assume though a dragon asset would be treated like a bomber though and have a fighter escort. Of course, this is all my opinion since dragons aren’t real.
@@novicebladesman2835 dragons would be terrible weapons, because of their size they would be huge targets and if they got shot they would go down from the pain
Mewlus You have to take into account some other factors. Depending on the size of the dragon and it’s scales, small arms fire wouldn’t be much more than a sting to them. Assuming the round even penetrated. Not even the .50 bmg round can penetrate steel plates. And dragons are usually depicted as having scales harder than steel. If you fire large caliber rounds at them, it might injure them assuming the shooter gets lucky, but they could keep flying as the bullets would be small compared to them. It would take a large hail of bullets to bring even a single dragon down from the pain, and the dragon would be fine after it got over the pain. The most effective weapons would be missiles and rockets. It is quite easy to hit big bombers with those but dragons are much more nimble than a bomber. Sure, they aren’t invincible, but they could do a ton of damage.
killerems Godzilla is semi intelligent. I'm going by AHH's conditions. They are no smarter than animals and they behave no differently. There are plenty of species of animals that can easily kill a man, yet we are still atop the food chain. Mankind would overcome the dragons advantages with intellect, as we do with any challenge. Being animals, their behaviors could be anticipated and exploited, which is why they would be easily lured into traps and killed off. Using the same lore that AHH uses, dragons, unlike Godzilla, CAN be killed off, its just harder to do. However, if a concerted effort was implemented, humanity would eventually conquer the dragons.
I agree. Humans back then were far stronger than humans today. Seriously. These people were living among mammoths, woolly rhinos, and bears. Yet they killed them all. How? By being complete badasses. If humans back then could kill bears like the evidence points, I can definitely see a group of them killing a dragon. These people had bows, spears, and clubs. From what I know about dragons, they are supposed to have weak wings.These could be shot with arrows, meaning the dragon could not escape. Then the people with spears and clubs could take out the dragon. Now you say, "What about the fire breath?" Here's my answer. A majority of dragons described by ancient people did NOT have fire-breath. In fact, a big majority of them were no larger than bears! Only until medieval times, when people would have had better technology, did dragons become large and fire-breathing. Assuming that AHH is working on the premise that people of different times would see different dragons, it's very obvious that humanity would survive pretty easily.
Shalom Griffinflyer Agreed. The key factor here is the established criteria that AHH has created. The dragons are no smarter than animals, meaning they are subject to the same predictable behaviors of any other beast. If they were self-aware and even marginally intelligent, it would could be a completely different story, but as long as they are just stupid critters, albeit the most deadly on Earth, they critters none-the-less.
My thought immediately went to we would utilize them for war and trade. It's a living airplane. Silk Road? No hire a dragon waaaay faster. Man has a knack for taking an animal and making it useful to us. Just as we did with horses I think we would've tried with dragons. Possibly creating domestic species, slowly breeding for different jobs.
How do you tame a giant tiger with wings that can breathe fire? How do we raise a powerful nonsocial carnivore to respect humans, let alone do our bidding?
i may be social but it aint easy making the others social all i can do is convince them to thinking people are cute im trying to tell them the benefits but they say they are not worthy which is stupid of them
Morgan Green Why does everyone refer to tigers as untameable? We've already done it and keep them as pets, yes they can kill you but so can your big dog. So to answer your question clip their wings when young to keep them from flying away ever and then feed and train them then do it to their offspring minus the wing clipping.
Now I'm thinking of The Fire Nation from Avatar, and how firebenders learned it from dragons, before hunting them to near extinction for glory and honor.
+Evan Heath To be specific, if the Celts did tame the dragons, it's when would they had done it??? I imagine say in 300BC that the Celts had successfully tamed dragons that flew and breathed fire, it's likely that when the Celts invaded Rome roughly in 200BC, they almost wiped out Ancient Rome at that time in our actual history... If the Carthage, the Greeks, the Egyptians and Mesopotamian civilizations had no knowledge on taming dragons, the Celts would've wiped out Rome since they would have been grounded while the Celts had aerial advantage over Rome and maybe attacked the Greeks and the Persians... Rome would have never expanded into Europe allowing Europe to stay Pagan... Without the roads that the Romans built, there would have been no quick passages to spread Christianity into Europe, Christianity or Islam wouldn't exist if the Celts had gone as far to attack and defeat the Biblical lands with their dragons... The Celtic, Slavic and the Germanic Tribes would rule over Europe and the Middle East unless if the Greeks or\and the Persians did tame dragons for warfare themselves... Just my imagination....
eh, by the time we had the technology to safely capture and hold a dragon, we would probably also have the tech to build better and more reliable weapons than dragons.
MonteCreations listen there's nothing more powerful then a creature capable of creating elements if we were able to control dragons we would be able to destroy cities just by flying over them there is no technology not even a nuclear bomb could hold up to a dragon
+Undead King1001 You seem to overestimate their capabilities. A flying lizard spewing out fire would have quite a hard time trying to destroy a city like New York, Moscow, Los Angeles etc. And it wouldn't be able to hold out against a nuke, I'm pretty sure of that. A dragon isn't made of steel, it's made up of flesh, something that is easy to penetrate. While their flesh/skin might be considerably thicker than ours, that still wouldn't prevent it from getting pierced by an armour-piercing round or especially a railgun shot.
Alejandro Cañizales first of all if a dragon can create fire I'm pretty sure it can burn down a city if it can f****** spit it out because it would know how to f****** shoot the fire he would have no problem using fire if it comes out of his body he knows how to f****** use it dumbass
+Undead King1001 *Sigh* Idiots these days. If the dragon was up against a medieval village whose villagers wield nothing but swords, spears, bows & arrows then it would have no problem decimating that area. However, against a modern age city, nope. It might cause widespread fires, but that alone isn't enough to completely destroy a city. And how can it even focus on destroying said city if its being chased by a pack of fighter jets? Not to mention all the anti-air weaponries that will be used to full effect. So yeah, a dragon will get decimated by modern-era weaponries.
There's a series of books that kinda do that, Naomi Novik's Temeraire series. though this Alt history wouldn't have them be sentient like in those books.
There was a movie were this happened It was called rein of fire basically dragons came, blowed up everything, and the cast try to kill the king dragon with tanks, jets and lots of guns
Nuke2099 To be fair if dragons really existed they would look like wyverns instead of the typical six-limbs creature because there is not hexapod vertebrades in real life, at least not in Earth.
I think dragon eggs would have been the most valuable things on earth, because you could train them after hatching into royal warbeasts due to their intelligent depiction.
it's hard to say. 3 possible outcomes could occur... 1) being this would speed up human industrialization eventually because humans would need to find a new way to slay dragons. resulting in the near extinction of dragons years later. 2) it would slow human industrialization by years because humans would be completely focused on survival and interspecies war, not progressing mankind. Which, eventually, we would loose because dragons are powerful. but dragons could be far more powerful that what our movies are telling us. so, just imagine a beast that flying faster than 80mpg releasing 100ft streams of fire. that's probably an overdramatization. but, after knowing and learning about human destruction, a dragon of such magnitude would probably exist. that's mother nature for you 3) dragons would be domesticated for human needs if we won an interspecies war. like most animals, you don't just go companionize
Indeed, number 3 would be quite plausible. Everybody wanted to be seen as powerful as possible. And what is showing more power than riding into war on a freaking dragon. We have been able to domesticate elephants and pretty much any "rideable" creature, dragons might be harder but not impossible.
paecmaker unless you take the highly intelligent version of dragons. then 1 of 2 outcomes can occur. total annihilation or damn near it of one or both races, Or a union is formed as per the ones found in eragon, etc, where both species co-exist not as master and pet, but as partners, this scenario can even be the result of the first one where both species realize that fighting each other to extinction is Not in our best interests.
Dark Lord Elijah peta's going: if Dragons are continuously killing people? They're humans to even if they couldn't care less about us, so let's just let them slowly callus off
spartan 1649 it's not really stupid. Capturing and containing something so abstract from the rest of the animal kingdom would be a huge boon to biological sciences.
Lol do you think they would be tame pets? They would problably be like all other carnivores and animals, aggressive, and fierce theres a reason they are one of the most feared fantasy creatures in history. And theres also a reason they breath fire not to cuddle but to destroy everything crossing their path.
Imagine during WW2, or any huge modern war, they have Dragons that they trained from birth to be soldiers, giving them tags, some gunfire, and are essentially wide scale attacks
TheTheddi Not neccessarily. Look what happened with Nukes? One minute the US had them. But despite their best efforts to stop them, Russia and the UK VERY Quickly built their own. (This was a major sore point between Churchill and Truman, since much of the Manhatten Project was completed with British Scientists, who effectivly had their work confiscated and were expelled from the US, once the war was over. Something that REALLY pissed off Churchill.) Both nations built nuclear programs form scratch. Nowedays, Pakistan, India, Israel and N.Korea all have functioning Nukes - and are bound by NO Nuclear Treaties.
Haradion Drogon Yeah but that was very late in history when people were more aware of ethics and the countries were widely led by democracy. If it happened earlier, lets say 1.000 A.D. it would be different. Also, building nukes takes less time once you know how to build them. Domesticating dragons to the point where you can use them in war would take a lot more time, so the country with dragons wouldn´t have any reason to agree to international regulations.
+Chris Hale well to exist 1000 yeasr ago, amusing they had a dargon to every 30-100 humans and we threatend them first......Like huamsn...Racism,crusades,holywars,genicides colonialism....most humans can't even put up with eachother, evn if dragons enitially possed no threat we'd probably start it an dhave our asses handed to us, be extint or endangered, western 4 legged dragons are painted them as evil, if they lived 100's of years ago, they'd wipe us out before we came this far or we'd be endangered and they' probably be the dominant species like even 300 years ago they wipe us out even if we out numbered them 10 -1 or even 20 or 30 -1. even 200 years ago we'd probably still be out matched. without the last 150 years of tech, we would never stand a chance, it's western/European style dragons that are depicted as evil. eastern style dragons, opposed war, were very benevolent,intelligent etc. and altered weather to aid humans with. the possibility that humans could capture baby dragons and through imprinting/taming could domesticate some dragons. They could be used in combat like flying horses or used to fight wild dragons/defend human settlements. Possible but do you think the parents would give their offspring ........maybe stealing eggs, but they probably be well guarded, it would probably take to long to build up enough tamed dragons.........interesting thought though
I would think that there would be different levels of intelligence between some dragon species. Also, only recently in human history have we actually had the weaponry to take down any kind of dragon from the skies, so an army wouldn't last long against an airborne burning run. Arrows and bolts would be like porcupine quills to them, especially the bigger ones. Swords would be highly ineffective, as they probably wouldn't be able to damage vital organs under that scaly armor. Blunt weapons would probably be used in dragon fighting much more, but a melee battle with a dragon would still end in death most times. However, ballistas would be a deadly weapon against them depending who's aiming it. A direct hit from any siege weapon really would knock a dragon out of the sky, but it would be hard to aim one at a moving dragon. It's highly unlikely that sentient dragon species' numbers would dwindle much, as a human-level brain on top of everything else would make them far superior to humans in every evolutionary way except thumbs. Dragons could scare entire kingdoms into enslavement if they wanted to. Point is, if dragons were real, this planet wouldn't belong to us.
_the weaponry to take down any kind of dragon from the skies_ What's the fastest way to kill a carnivorous beast that's too big to kill directly? Kill it *indirectly*, using poison, traps or both. One cool idea: a goat tethered to a concealed, massive crossbow. When the dragon swoops down and snatches it, the rope yanks the trigger and the bolt flies into the dragon.
+RonJohn63 Traps would be useful against dragons, but it wouldn't take long for the intelligent species to figure them out. There are tales about heroes poisoning dragons, but you would need a lot of it even for a carriage sized wyvern, not to mention that some dragons wielded poison.
Caaros, The King of Chaos _it wouldn't take long for the intelligent species to figure them out._ This scenario's dragons are just animals, not scaly flying humans. Besides, even if they did see a fat goat standing next to a copse of woods, what were it's choices? (1) Burn down the woods, or (2) look somewhere else for food. If "1", then it would eventually burn down all the forest, and that's not very intelligent. If "2", then the local humans haven't killed it, but driving it away is still a win. _you would need a lot of it even for a carriage sized wyvern_ You don't need to make it instantly fall out of the sky. All that's needed is "just sick enough" to make it not come back for a while. Bonus points for weakening it enough so that a company of crossbowmen can then hunt it down and kill it. _not to mention that some dragons wielded poison._ This is nature (where even poisonous creatures can be poisoned), not D&D (where foo attack means foo resistance).
***** _They would learn to avoid the random goats tied to trees for seemingly no reason._ Good point. So we sacrifice small herds. (One or two goats from each herd in the villiage.) We hunted mammoth elephants and probably had to defend against Smilodon, so I'm confident that we could defend against dragons, too.

I see dragons being treated in a similar fashion we treat elephants. At first, they'd be seen as either weapons of war (for their flying, fire, & brute strength) or creatures to be worshiped (depending on the region). Dragons would also be hunted and exploited for their organs to be used in traditional medicine, the black market, & their eggs/babies would be used for exotic foods or illegal pets. Eventually, humanity would grow to love and respect dragons and set up numerous organizations & preserves to protect and study them.
elephants aren't carnivorous though
They would be treated as we treat tigers, crocodiles, sharks and any other carnivorous animal
The problem with that idea might be that they aren't slow moving and mostly calm/friendly as a result of being herbivores
They may be a much bigger threat than any carnivore that humanity had ever faced was and, as a consequence, might be hunted to extinction very early in history.
But I like the idea that we'd domesticate them like we did the second biggest threat, wolves. Pug dragons.
Oh God, I can see the commercials...

Depending on how early they were introduced, technically humans COULD tame them. As long as they provide a controlled source of livestock, eventually they could technically become domesticated, maybe becoming smaller and relying on humans. Wild, dangerous dragons would most likely be kept in big cages after humans gain knowledge of strong metal alloys etc. keeping them from going extinct (Although, they may go extinct before this happens, which would be pretty anti-climatic.) and dying off. I guess another option is that they keep humans from ever taking over the earth like what happened with us.

The dragon "attacks" the village and steals a few sheep or cattle. The "brave" knight comes in and offers to drive off or kill the dragon for a fee. An impressive battle ensures and the dragon runs away. The knight meets up with the dragon a day or so later and splits the proceeds, lather, rinse and repeat.

+Ryu Hayabusa dragons always win they are different types like the elements we have plus dragons will have greater knowledge then us even animal style
yea ice breathing dragons will totally destroy mankind
While the modern world would be able to take care of this problem, the ancient world would be severely disadvantaged. I think the presence of dragons would hinder human progress due to them being a threat to agriculture, livestock, and commerce. Even if you were to send groups of people after them, dragons are HUGE. It would take something massive to kill them, like a ballista, which wasn't invented until 400 BC. Assuming that dragons would have existed since the dawn of mankind, I don't think we would be where we are today if dragons existed.
***** While that would be pretty freaking awesome, the fact that they were so large and we would be dwarfed by them would cause our ancestors to fear them or worship them, most likely the former, not to mention how we would even be able to let them live with us due to their size. Plus, if these are the fire-breathing variants, it would be nearly impossible to tame them.

+Aiden Bishop and never forget that the emus won the war.
I feel like there would be three things happening, other than the one you said:
1) dragons would just kill all of us: if anyone in the middle ages got even remotely near to a wake dragon would just be killed, because the armor would show him and the fire would kill him and melt the armor.
2) evolution:
Humans are bipedal because they needed to see above the grass and have opposed thumbs (idk if you say it like that) because they needed to grab things, so humans would have evolved as something stronger or more aware to avoid being killed by dragons, for example we could have a pangolin like natural armor that protects from flames and sharp teeth/claws or we'd be able to spot a dragon at great distances and to efficiently hide from it.
3) tames dragons:
Humans somehow found a way to make wolves docile and turned them into dogs, and also tamed felines to get cats, even if it would be quite hard, since dragons would be hard to deal with, we'd probably find a way to tame one, like we did with wolves, that were dangerous too: probably some dumb kid wouldn't understand that the small lizard in front of him is a baby dragon and would tame it without noticing, or maybe some brave (or crazy) enough man would look for an egg and give the imprinting to the baby dragon, maybe after a party had killed the parents and found the nest they'd try to get the eggs and give the imprinting like that, or maybe they got an egg in some other way, but probably something like this would happen.
I think that either the number 1 happens or both the number 2 and 3 happen at the same time, it all depends on wether the humans' ancestors are able to survive enough to adapt or simply die too early and we just never go past the australopitecus phase
Well wait until the Dragon finds out your kind has killed there parent's well you will die and dragons on adult size will pick out your bones and eat all other parts left of you well wait your a kind of right if dragons had opinions and some will be a fan of people some will be a fan of killing them
That's a good comment!
I don't think taming is an option though, since dragons are too dangerous and domestication would not work the way it did with wolves. Wolves are assumed to have more or less domesticated themselves since some stuck around human camps voluntarily to feed on their garbage. This new food source changed their genetic pressure towards friendlyness (aggressive ones would not be tolerated close to the camps) and outwardly features that are interesting to humans and make them more likely to feed the "cute" wolves. Also the new food source made their size decrease since they didn't have to be tall predators anymore, therefore the extra height was unnecessary body mass that required unnecessarily high amounts of calories.
@@fairytala
Thank you!
And great points, but please consider (it's going to be long and based on my view on the issue): we tamed lions, tigers and bears, trained them and used them in circuses for years, and they are basically the apex predators of their respective habitats.
(tamed, not domesticated)
All you need to tame and train a species is a reliable way to survive it's attacks and to kill it's members (cruel, I know). And if a primitive human couldn't, technology will eventually suffice.
For domestication, its very different, but we did domesticate wolves, who could easily kill an human.
That's probably because they weren't the apex predators and some found out that eating our scraps was easier that hunting and more or less as efficient.
So, assuming dragons differentiate, hence creating various species of varying sizes, a smaller dragon will not be an Apex, hence it might find itself in the same condition wolves found themselves in when they got domesticated.
An important part of the domestication is human evolution: if humans evolve to resist fire from bigger dragons and some bites, a smaller dragon's fire breath and bites will probably do very little damage to humans (consider, a dog can kill you, but it won't be as fast or efficient as a lion).
If the evolved humans could naturally negate damage from the weaker firebreathing and shrug off their bites to some extent, they could domesticate dragons, simply by being above them in the food chain:
We have lots of food, we throw away some, small dragons find out they can eat our scraps without having to hunt and compete against the big ones, we eventually start actively feeding them, they slowly evolve in dragon-dogs.
Basically:
Taming requires the ability to kill it, survive it's attacks and imprison it (even through technology)
Domestication requires the natural ability to survive it's attacks (and kill it), a higher place on the food chain (you can't domesticate something that eats you regularly) and a different apex predator that poses a big threat to it's survival (mainly by making it hard for it to feed, hence making it more convenient for it to be fed from humans than to hunt for food)
So, through evolution we could domesticate small dragons, and through technology we could tame and train bigger and more dangerous ones (maybe even use them as mounts, eventually)
To clarify on the fire resistance:
If humans evolve to resist fire from bigger dragons to the point that any temperature under a certain point will simply have no effect on them (like beating steel with a stick), and the effects of higher temperatures will be extremely mitigated (beating a block of steel with a light hammer) unless the temperature gets extremely high (beating steel with a very heavy and pointy hammer), a flame coming from a small dragon, which will be colder than a big one's, will last for a shorter period of time and will affect a smaller area, would have little to no effect on a human, and hence allow us to survive everyday life with a relatively small dragon just like we survive everyday life with a dog
(who could kill us, but isn't efficient enough to do it by accident, and has a slightly hard time doing so if we fight back)
If we negate damage from firebreathing, a dragon and a wolf aren't that different, expecially if other animals evolve in a similar way.
And if getting set on fire was a daily occurrence we would have to evolve this way simply to survive and reproduce, hence it isn't too much of a stretch to say that we would eventually be able to shrug off a small dragon's fire.
(think of thick isolating skin, which would also help with bites and scratches from smaller dragons, or even an exoskeleton)
(extremely thick skin is also why hyppos just don't care when predators attack them and are basically tanks)
(I'm sorry for the stupidly long answers but online classes are boring and make it way too easy to think about this stuff and write overly detailed and chaotic descriptions of the thought process)
You need to talk about Temeraire. it's alternate napoleonic war where dragon exist, are of similar smarts to human and been "tamed". The taming is more inprinting upon them.
Please elaborate. This sounds interesting.

Of course they got ballista's, but dragons can out-maneuver the things pretty easily I'd imagine...
Although, I could be wrong... humanity always tried to find a workaround when it comes to difficult enemies...

@@Wrath_Incarnate True, BUT...
There's also the possibility that because of the dragons, humanity would try to find underground shelters or carve out their own (with entrances dragons can't fit in of course), and maybe they'll still advance that way, but because of that, open regions throughout the world might be left behind or depopulated
Nathan Singleton Nathan Singleton That maybe true, but due to that, technology would’ve had a seriously different path than it did in our timeline, especially war, where it’s extremely unlikely that weapons like ballistas and catapults, or at least developed in a way similar to how we developed them. Instead technology would’ve been focused on attempting to make the caves that humanity that made their homes in as livable as possible, and even then, food would of been a big problem seeing as they would still have to travel out of the caves in order to farm, which still has the chance of just randomly getting destroyed by a dragon, especially if these dragons are intelligent enough to figure out that land formations of farms would means humans would be nearby.

We wouldn't just kill them. We would use them to our advantage, obviously.

While that depiction is more realistic, I like to believe we'd get a How To Train Your Dragon type world. Way cooler.
I imagine people starting to protect them as an endangered species as humans slowly drove them to extinction; and possibly trying to tame them, as who tf wouldn't want to ride a dragon
Exactly what I was thinking. In today's world we'd probably treat them like we do any other wild/dangerous animal. I don't know if they'd actually be trainable though, but hey, if you can train a lion or a tiger you could potentially tame a dragon.
the white nightfury in the movie the dragons are more smarter than a lion or tiger. But it still make sense.

This video made me think of "A Thing of Vikings". It's a story that's at the crossroads of fan fiction an alternate history. The premise is dragons are real and the events of the first "How To Train Your Dragon" film happened in the year 1040. The story deals with the consequences of a tribe of Vikings having 'domesticated' dragons. Its easily the longest peace of fan fiction I've seen (its longer than the seven books in the Harry Potter series combined).
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.
So where can I see this "A Thing of Vikings"
I feel like dragons would become the new horses of the earlier civilizations. The people who were able to domesticate the few species of dragons that were able to be tamed (ones that were smaller and had more community organization) would be far superior to the civilizations that didn't . And if these dragons could fly, air planes would probably never exist. Dragons would be the WMD's.
dragons will never hit 200mph maybe dived and where are you going to sit
AIRLINERS CAN BLEND A DRAGON TO CHUNKS
Probably Feudalism would be kept up and alive because an elite noble class would exist to train and ride those dragons. Dragon Knights orders basically.
And will have a chip when activated will infect and kill the dragon
Humans would never domesticate dragons, for the same reason they never domesticated Tigers; They are WAY to dangerous and difficult to contain. Domestication requires capturing, containing and controlling an animal for many generations. Even if you stole a dragon egg to raise one from infancy, the dragon out of instinct would most likely kill you when it grew large enough and escape from any enclosure you might put him in. The only way to get rid of those dangerous natural instincts would be to breed multiple generations of dragons, but that would be impossible without a way to control and contain them...
also depending on how long dragons live and how quickly the reproduce it could take centuries to achieve good results; not many kings are gonna push for a dangerous and expensive dragon domestication program that would only benefit their great, great, great, great, great, grandson.
Ahnaf Ahmad if dragons were similar to crocodiles, it would be very difficult to tame them. Might not be impossible, but only a couple of cultures on earth would be able to do it. Given how certain tribes in Africa have learned how to have a good working relationships with crocodiles,Countries around the Nile would be the most likely place for dragons to be tamed and domesticated.
is it just me or would this make an awesome tv show
Have you heard of this niche show called Game Of Thrones?
Rubin Thomas I'm talking about modern times
But, how many penises until we get to the dragons?
Actually there is a movie about just that its called
Reign of Fire
+Sagar Sagar It was the first thing to pip on my mind.
I think that maybe they might be tamed and used in warfare just like the elephant
+TheSamuel9464 That was my thought. There would at least be attempts. Picture Hannibal coming across the Alps with elephants AND a war dragon.
+LordBitememan
True
+TheSamuel9464
I doubt
if anything, dragons would be hampering our ability to tame elephants due to the fact that elephants would probably be their main food source. This would mean if you were be near elephants, you would literally be in the path of a hungry dragon
+TheSamuel9464
Something something Guidebook on the Taming of Dragons (for use in entertainment and/or asskicking)
+TheSamuel9464 highly doubtful dude they'd be to even approach let alone tame
To be honest, I think that if the Wings of Fire dragons existed, it could go either two ways:
One: We figure out how to tame them and I'd be living with a RainWing.
Two: Something like the scorching could happen and we would end up like the Scavengers.
We do have dragons in real life.
We call them cassowaries.
no
australians instead of hairry aussie birds
The closest we have to a dragon is a small lizard who uses flaps under its arms to glide.
Down in Indonesia we have komodo dragons. No wings, no fire breath, but runs fast on four legs and has powerful septic bites.
Im australian better fucking bow to me.
Actually the closest we had to a dragon went extinct. It was a species of Komodo dragon.
lets take this to the logically extreme. "What If Magic was real"
Well, one logical extreme result would be something akin to Bioshock, where highly individualistic mindsets cross with incredibly powerful individuals and a twinge of crazy.
Make bioshock's scenario slightly less extreme, and on a global scale, and you'd get a good candidate for what would happen.
If magic was real, and everybody had crazy magic powers, governments and societies would be far more difficult to form due to humans not having to sustain themselves through the assistance of one another. The best you'd get are bandit villages and cults, run by people far more lenient about how they use their powers than the common majority.
Agriculture and Domestication would exist on a very small scale, with constant and highly successful magic-assisted looting and banditry making any growth in those areas difficult.
In short: Everybody would be too powerful to allow any big governments to form, and most cultures would prioritize looting and ransacking over long-term agricultural development, so there are only small villages.
Look at Shadowrun.
And remember: Never Trust a Dragon.
+Nagrachlp what about Odahviing?
Never heard of it, sry.
Rabano Doom what if we discovered magic right now?
Oh, but Dragons are very real... they are just invisible, and very, very quiet...
martijn van weele Ik geloof dat 😝
Dragongamer UK I've always believed that the dragons that did burn down villages were a very small minority, but unfortunately, due to most other dragons staying hidden from us, they were the only ones we ever knew, and so, we got a tainted image of what dragons are like... do you agree?

Dragon slaying as a job XD.
I theorize that humans would do learn to do better than fight dragons. Maybe with the advances in engineering we figured out a way to gather our dying, malnourished or sick livestock and use them as a sort of Dragon sanctuaries, strategically placed so that dragons would would be confined to a certain perimeter and not attack human population for food as often. Warding off or killing vagrant dragons could become a legitimate roll in the roster of farmlands. Rearing livestock in numbers might take priority over quality in certain breeds, we might start breeding beef cattle specifically to be plump and worthy dragon hunt. Dragon droppings could become a harvestable resource for farmers which is brought by designated personnel.
Dragons might become an essential part of our economy and a city being in a vicinity of Dragon sanctuaries might profit a lot. Heck we might actually end up domesticating dragons which could become pets, security guards,personal transport for those who can afford to raise a dragon and of course, a foil against wild dragons, Hunter dragons. Dragon eggs would we an item of luxury.
All of this will happen only if we find a dragon species as smart if not smarter than dogs.
Hold my beer, i gotta do some worldbuilding.
Vignesh Ramesh-Galactus_rex Let's not forget medieval empires using dragons as weapons of mass destruction on enemy kingdoms.
or if humanity continued fighting them and did not advance fast enough humans could just be killed off over time
Dragon eggs? That would be the worlds best omelet. Actually... I think it'd be better used on french toast.

wtf!!!
If dragons existed alongside prehistoric humans then it is doubtful that we would have ever become the dominant species that we are in this time line.
The same way we devolved giant spine lizard creatures into rodents during the age of the dinosaurs.
Well, see that's the thing. Dragons are drastically superior to anything in their natural environment, which means they would quickly consume their environments resources...and then die. They're not like humans, who make sure the prey successfully reproduces more food before death, they're hunters, and massive, destructive fire breathing ones at that.
First, they'd need to eat a lot to sustain their bodies and firey breath, meaning they'd eat a ton of large and especially medium herbivores, many to extinction. Due to their environmentally destructive hunting habits, plants would have a harder time growing back to help replenish the herbivore shortage, meaning way less herbivores overall. And so the population of dragons would greatly, GREATLY diminish, even more so than other over-consumptive carnivores, and even MORE so when you consider dragons are often represented as lone hunters, meaning they'd be prone to fight and eat eachother for survival. In the end, there may be 1 or 2 dragons in an area the size of a small country if you're *lucky.*
Meanwhile, the presence of dragons would force adaptive primates and other omnivorous human-like ancestors into small, hidden hunter-gatherer communities, When nature eventually bounced back from the dragons' overconsumption, these communities would repopulate and advance before the dragons had a chance to, as a small community system allows for far easier growth than longer lived loners. The humans would develop agriculture and domestication before the dragons had the chance to repopulate, and once they became a nuisance, we'd finally slay them to extinction. (Likely during winter months when food was scarcer for humans and cold-blooded dragons would move too sluggishly to defend themselves)
In short: Dragons murder everything to near extinction, dragons starve to near extinction, humans repopulate because humans are better at repopulation, humans take over, near-extinct dragons are wiped out.
Rabano Doom Excellent point.
Rabano Doom very good man very good point
Rabano Doom But if they were a naturally evolved animal then would have only evolved if there were the resources to sustain them. Take the movie Reign of Fire. the dragons in that feed on ash. They burn the world around them and feed of the what is leftover.
Or if they are a reptile, as they are often depicted, then they would have a slower metabolism. Crocodiles can go up to a year without food.
Plus humans are the exception to the rule that apex predators only occur in smaller numbers than their prey. There only are ever as many as the resources and habitat can sustain.
IN AN ALTERNATE EARTH (were dragons exist)
what if dragons never existed?
Me: what if we can cross alternate universe
But if dragons existed, humans wouldn't be here any longer. Dragons have fire breathing mouths. And thats impossible to survive fire, if the dragon could breathe of fire, then it could do anything! Plus, if they were here, there would be real videos of them. Internet is always a lie. All editing & photoshop. Plus, if you say they are hiding to not get harmed by humans:
1. They can fly, and can easily eat humans or any other creatures.
2. How do you expect them to think whats wrong or whats right? They don't have a brain. Infect, none animals have a brain. Thats the difference between them and us. We have a brain, and we know whats right and whats wrong. But they don't, in what way do you think they are hiding of us?! I mean how do they know they are gonna get harmed? As i said they don't have a sense.
@@zzaii_x Humanity would most likely, *not* go extinct. As megafauna, they would need a LOT of food, like, a LOT a LOT. So they'd mostly be depopulated and live in small pockets, and even then competition would be fierce where many of them would survive by eating eachother. This means that overall, Dragons would be secluded & unable to populate the entire globe, allowing Humanity to survive in a select few regions, until eventually the Dragons either A: go extinct B: are killed in a dragon crusade
@@zzaii_x Also correction: basically all animals have brains. I believe the word you're looking for is consciousness.
What if dragons existed: Humans: I diagnose you with surface to air missle DIE NOW
Once the modern age comes...
Once it comes
I know exactly what would happen if dragons were real. There'd be crazy bastards that will try and tame them, and some would succeed. You'll scoff at a trained lion when you could have a tamed dragon.
Necrikus lol what? I mean, it's possible. But how?
Well people that were in the ancient eras,we are talking tribes here,tamed wolves,why wouldn't a medieval era humanity tame dragons,lol.
Necrikus I mean, dragons can have their uses. Resources such as scales and bones, which would be considered extremely tough, transportation as early planes, to terrifying war assets that can wreck havoc and destroy cities. Taming dragons wouldn't be a bad idea, but to maintain them would be a nightmare, due to their size and probably a huge metabolism. Whole entire cities would have to be devoted for single dragon.
The people that succeeded would have began human civilization. Some people would fear them but most would have viewed those Dragon Riders as more than normal humans, almost godlike.
If (when) that were the case, then we'd probably start breeding them to be smaller, specifically so we could afford the upkeep. At which point, Dragons would transition into something more like Wyverns, and Wyvern cavalry becomes the decider in wars until someone is able to get guns and planes to work well enough.
i wonder how dragons would look in australia

Imagine your a German in ww2 you are on Normandy beach and you see an army flying towards u on a FRICKEN dragon
They did... they saw the Welsh Dragons. :)
Dragons would be totally ineffective in ww2 as weapons, they would be outdated centuries ago.
Дмитрий Мордовин I wouldn’t say ineffective. Due to their size and scales, they’d be similar to tanks of the sky. They’d be impervious to small arms fire, fighter pilot machine guns would have a hard time hurting them, and missiles and rockets would be devastating. The intimidation factor is not to be underestimated as well. Also if you consider that most of the weapons used in D-day were small arms and artillery, they would be quite useful. Especially to clear out German pill boxes. A machine gunner would have to be really lucky or fire large caliber rounds to hurt it. Though if the dragon faced a squadron of fighters with missiles, then things would quickly go south. I would assume though a dragon asset would be treated like a bomber though and have a fighter escort. Of course, this is all my opinion since dragons aren’t real.
@@novicebladesman2835 dragons would be terrible weapons, because of their size they would be huge targets and if they got shot they would go down from the pain
Mewlus You have to take into account some other factors. Depending on the size of the dragon and it’s scales, small arms fire wouldn’t be much more than a sting to them. Assuming the round even penetrated. Not even the .50 bmg round can penetrate steel plates. And dragons are usually depicted as having scales harder than steel. If you fire large caliber rounds at them, it might injure them assuming the shooter gets lucky, but they could keep flying as the bullets would be small compared to them. It would take a large hail of bullets to bring even a single dragon down from the pain, and the dragon would be fine after it got over the pain. The most effective weapons would be missiles and rockets. It is quite easy to hit big bombers with those but dragons are much more nimble than a bomber. Sure, they aren’t invincible, but they could do a ton of damage.
Like all animals, they would've been easily lured to their deaths until they were at a manageable number to domesticate.
Dragons would wipe us all out. Imagine a whole bunch of godzillas
killerems Godzilla is semi intelligent. I'm going by AHH's conditions. They are no smarter than animals and they behave no differently. There are plenty of species of animals that can easily kill a man, yet we are still atop the food chain. Mankind would overcome the dragons advantages with intellect, as we do with any challenge. Being animals, their behaviors could be anticipated and exploited, which is why they would be easily lured into traps and killed off. Using the same lore that AHH uses, dragons, unlike Godzilla, CAN be killed off, its just harder to do. However, if a concerted effort was implemented, humanity would eventually conquer the dragons.
+idunbeezasmart1 doubt it. I'm not about to debate about it though
I agree.
Humans back then were far stronger than humans today.
Seriously. These people were living among mammoths, woolly rhinos, and bears. Yet they killed them all. How? By being complete badasses. If humans back then could kill bears like the evidence points, I can definitely see a group of them killing a dragon. These people had bows, spears, and clubs. From what I know about dragons, they are supposed to have weak wings.These could be shot with arrows, meaning the dragon could not escape. Then the people with spears and clubs could take out the dragon. Now you say, "What about the fire breath?" Here's my answer. A majority of dragons described by ancient people did NOT have fire-breath. In fact, a big majority of them were no larger than bears! Only until medieval times, when people would have had better technology, did dragons become large and fire-breathing. Assuming that AHH is working on the premise that people of different times would see different dragons, it's very obvious that humanity would survive pretty easily.
Shalom Griffinflyer Agreed. The key factor here is the established criteria that AHH has created. The dragons are no smarter than animals, meaning they are subject to the same predictable behaviors of any other beast. If they were self-aware and even marginally intelligent, it would could be a completely different story, but as long as they are just stupid critters, albeit the most deadly on Earth, they critters none-the-less.
My thought immediately went to we would utilize them for war and trade.
It's a living airplane.
Silk Road? No hire a dragon waaaay faster.
Man has a knack for taking an animal and making it useful to us. Just as we did with horses I think we would've tried with dragons. Possibly creating domestic species, slowly breeding for different jobs.
watch out for jets and heat seakers
How do you tame a giant tiger with wings that can breathe fire? How do we raise a powerful nonsocial carnivore to respect humans, let alone do our bidding?
i may be social but it aint easy making the others social all i can do is convince them to thinking people are cute im trying to tell them the benefits but they say they are not worthy which is stupid of them
Morgan Green we've tamed a vicious animal before, they are called wolves
Morgan Green Why does everyone refer to tigers as untameable? We've already done it and keep them as pets, yes they can kill you but so can your big dog. So to answer your question clip their wings when young to keep them from flying away ever and then feed and train them then do it to their offspring minus the wing clipping.
I still want them to be real
Me too, 😍
Me too. But I dont want people to own them. We should watch them from a distance and let them be.

except it's more likely that the Celts would tame dragons instead of Vikings
Trueeeee
+Evan Heath To be specific, if the Celts did tame the dragons, it's when would they had done it??? I imagine say in 300BC that the Celts had successfully tamed dragons that flew and breathed fire, it's likely that when the Celts invaded Rome roughly in 200BC, they almost wiped out Ancient Rome at that time in our actual history... If the Carthage, the Greeks, the Egyptians and Mesopotamian civilizations had no knowledge on taming dragons, the Celts would've wiped out Rome since they would have been grounded while the Celts had aerial advantage over Rome and maybe attacked the Greeks and the Persians... Rome would have never expanded into Europe allowing Europe to stay Pagan... Without the roads that the Romans built, there would have been no quick passages to spread Christianity into Europe, Christianity or Islam wouldn't exist if the Celts had gone as far to attack and defeat the Biblical lands with their dragons... The Celtic, Slavic and the Germanic Tribes would rule over Europe and the Middle East unless if the Greeks or\and the Persians did tame dragons for warfare themselves... Just my imagination....
+Fubex Hip Hop and what?
As with everything else in history, people would had found some way to use them as weapons
eh, by the time we had the technology to safely capture and hold a dragon, we would probably also have the tech to build better and more reliable weapons than dragons.
MonteCreations listen there's nothing more powerful then a creature capable of creating elements if we were able to control dragons we would be able to destroy cities just by flying over them there is no technology not even a nuclear bomb could hold up to a dragon
+Undead King1001 You seem to overestimate their capabilities. A flying lizard spewing out fire would have quite a hard time trying to destroy a city like New York, Moscow, Los Angeles etc. And it wouldn't be able to hold out against a nuke, I'm pretty sure of that. A dragon isn't made of steel, it's made up of flesh, something that is easy to penetrate. While their flesh/skin might be considerably thicker than ours, that still wouldn't prevent it from getting pierced by an armour-piercing round or especially a railgun shot.
Alejandro Cañizales first of all if a dragon can create fire I'm pretty sure it can burn down a city if it can f****** spit it out because it would know how to f****** shoot the fire he would have no problem using fire if it comes out of his body he knows how to f****** use it dumbass
+Undead King1001 *Sigh* Idiots these days. If the dragon was up against a medieval village whose villagers wield nothing but swords, spears, bows & arrows then it would have no problem decimating that area. However, against a modern age city, nope. It might cause widespread fires, but that alone isn't enough to completely destroy a city. And how can it even focus on destroying said city if its being chased by a pack of fighter jets? Not to mention all the anti-air weaponries that will be used to full effect. So yeah, a dragon will get decimated by modern-era weaponries.

You should do a video on dragons that would revolutionize the war methods and strategies
no
There's a series of books that kinda do that, Naomi Novik's Temeraire series. though this Alt history wouldn't have them be sentient like in those books.
There was a movie were this happened
It was called rein of fire
basically dragons came, blowed up everything, and the cast try to kill the king dragon
with tanks, jets and lots of guns
Except they were wyverns in that film and not true dragons.
john firerazor godzilla,dragon mode
zedant miao think of a good dragon name i will think of one
Garrett Nino Wings of Fire is WWWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY BEETER
Nuke2099 To be fair if dragons really existed they would look like wyverns instead of the typical six-limbs creature because there is not hexapod vertebrades in real life, at least not in Earth.
So New Zealand wouldn’t be the Sheep continent of the world 😭😭😭😭
SpeedyCheesy, sheeps might remain, dragons there are all killed there.
but new Zealand is not a continent
actually there is more sheep in australia
Send some sheep to Wales please... We need to see them alone for about 39 min at a time.
I think dragon eggs would have been the most valuable things on earth, because you could train them after hatching into royal warbeasts due to their intelligent depiction.
So Toothless would exist.
Patrick Donnolley
And.... DRAGON SLAYERS!!!!! (Fairy tail)
Patrick Donnolley yes toothles would be real
Patrick Donnolley yey
He's weak and small other dragons are as big as houses
Yes
it's hard to say. 3 possible outcomes could occur...
1) being this would speed up human industrialization eventually because humans would need to find a new way to slay dragons. resulting in the near extinction of dragons years later.
2) it would slow human industrialization by years because humans would be completely focused on survival and interspecies war, not progressing mankind. Which, eventually, we would loose because dragons are powerful. but dragons could be far more powerful that what our movies are telling us. so, just imagine a beast that flying faster than 80mpg releasing 100ft streams of fire. that's probably an overdramatization. but, after knowing and learning about human destruction, a dragon of such magnitude would probably exist. that's mother nature for you
3) dragons would be domesticated for human needs if we won an interspecies war. like most animals, you don't just go companionize
Jullien Harris you are a smart
Indeed, number 3 would be quite plausible. Everybody wanted to be seen as powerful as possible. And what is showing more power than riding into war on a freaking dragon. We have been able to domesticate elephants and pretty much any "rideable" creature, dragons might be harder but not impossible.
paecmaker unless you take the highly intelligent version of dragons. then 1 of 2 outcomes can occur. total annihilation or damn near it of one or both races, Or a union is formed as per the ones found in eragon, etc, where both species co-exist not as master and pet, but as partners, this scenario can even be the result of the first one where both species realize that fighting each other to extinction is Not in our best interests.
Nice to see someone else who is a fan of the series
Dragons are bad.
Bad Dragon.

Thats only if the dragons can speak. If not, then society will leave it to PETA to be offended.
Dark Lord Elijah peta's going: if Dragons are continuously killing people? They're humans to even if they couldn't care less about us, so let's just let them slowly callus off
I hope we never get that stupid
spartan 1649 it's not really stupid. Capturing and containing something so abstract from the rest of the animal kingdom would be a huge boon to biological sciences.

It would be like a "How To Train Your Dragon" kind of moment. It would be awesome to have a pet dragon.
just so your neighbour can laugh out you in his mech
john ultra fuck your mech. my bewilderbeast will just crush it under his foot.
Oh god,the dragon races,dragon-pet shows,dragon zoos,the possibilities are endless.
Dragons are likely to be solitary creatures, so it would be unwise to keep a dragon.
Lol do you think they would be tame pets? They would problably be like all other carnivores and animals, aggressive, and fierce theres a reason they are one of the most feared fantasy creatures in history. And theres also a reason they breath fire not to cuddle but to destroy everything crossing their path.
Imagine during WW2, or any huge modern war, they have Dragons that they trained from birth to be soldiers, giving them tags, some gunfire, and are essentially wide scale attacks
Domesticated Dragon's, used in warfare - not unlike War-Elephants?
That sounds pretty awesome.
+Haradion Drogon If only we had war-dragons...
Sounds like Game of Thrones
Ancient Valyria IRL
The nation who gets to tame them first would rise to world power
TheTheddi
Not neccessarily.
Look what happened with Nukes?
One minute the US had them.
But despite their best efforts to stop them, Russia and the UK VERY Quickly built their own.
(This was a major sore point between Churchill and Truman, since much of the Manhatten Project was completed with British Scientists, who effectivly had their work confiscated and were expelled from the US, once the war was over. Something that REALLY pissed off Churchill.)
Both nations built nuclear programs form scratch.
Nowedays, Pakistan, India, Israel and N.Korea all have functioning Nukes - and are bound by NO Nuclear Treaties.
Haradion Drogon Yeah but that was very late in history when people were more aware of ethics and the countries were widely led by democracy. If it happened earlier, lets say 1.000 A.D. it would be different.
Also, building nukes takes less time once you know how to build them. Domesticating dragons to the point where you can use them in war would take a lot more time, so the country with dragons wouldn´t have any reason to agree to international regulations.

Eventually someone would get the bright idea to tame one and soon pet dragons would be all the rage.
+Chris Hale well to exist 1000 yeasr ago, amusing they had a dargon to every 30-100 humans and we threatend them first......Like huamsn...Racism,crusades,holywars,genicides colonialism....most humans can't even put up with eachother, evn if dragons enitially possed no threat we'd probably start it an dhave our asses handed to us, be extint or endangered, western 4 legged dragons are painted them as evil, if they lived 100's of years ago, they'd wipe us out before we came this far or we'd be endangered and they' probably be the dominant species like even 300 years ago they wipe us out even if we out numbered them 10 -1 or even 20 or 30 -1. even 200 years ago we'd probably still be out matched. without the last 150 years of tech, we would never stand a chance, it's western/European style dragons that are depicted as evil. eastern style dragons, opposed war, were very benevolent,intelligent etc. and altered weather to aid humans with. the possibility that humans could capture baby dragons and through imprinting/taming could domesticate some dragons. They could be used in combat like flying horses or used to fight wild dragons/defend human settlements. Possible but do you think the parents would give their offspring ........maybe stealing eggs, but they probably be well guarded, it would probably take to long to build up enough tamed dragons.........interesting thought though
There's an entire book series related to this and no it's not How to Train your Dragon. :U

+Ritzi Santos Dragon tales, Dragon tales it's almost time for dragon tales.
Dora the explorer (dunno if i spelled that right)
I would think that there would be different levels of intelligence between some dragon species.
Also, only recently in human history have we actually had the weaponry to take down any kind of dragon from the skies, so an army wouldn't last long against an airborne burning run. Arrows and bolts would be like porcupine quills to them, especially the bigger ones. Swords would be highly ineffective, as they probably wouldn't be able to damage vital organs under that scaly armor. Blunt weapons would probably be used in dragon fighting much more, but a melee battle with a dragon would still end in death most times. However, ballistas would be a deadly weapon against them depending who's aiming it. A direct hit from any siege weapon really would knock a dragon out of the sky, but it would be hard to aim one at a moving dragon.
It's highly unlikely that sentient dragon species' numbers would dwindle much, as a human-level brain on top of everything else would make them far superior to humans in every evolutionary way except thumbs. Dragons could scare entire kingdoms into enslavement if they wanted to.
Point is, if dragons were real, this planet wouldn't belong to us.
_the weaponry to take down any kind of dragon from the skies_
What's the fastest way to kill a carnivorous beast that's too big to kill directly? Kill it *indirectly*, using poison, traps or both. One cool idea: a goat tethered to a concealed, massive crossbow. When the dragon swoops down and snatches it, the rope yanks the trigger and the bolt flies into the dragon.
+RonJohn63 Traps would be useful against dragons, but it wouldn't take long for the intelligent species to figure them out. There are tales about heroes poisoning dragons, but you would need a lot of it even for a carriage sized wyvern, not to mention that some dragons wielded poison.
Caaros, The King of Chaos _it wouldn't take long for the intelligent species to figure them out._
This scenario's dragons are just animals, not scaly flying humans.
Besides, even if they did see a fat goat standing next to a copse of woods, what were it's choices? (1) Burn down the woods, or (2) look somewhere else for food.
If "1", then it would eventually burn down all the forest, and that's not very intelligent. If "2", then the local humans haven't killed it, but driving it away is still a win.
_you would need a lot of it even for a carriage sized wyvern_
You don't need to make it instantly fall out of the sky. All that's needed is "just sick enough" to make it not come back for a while. Bonus points for weakening it enough so that a company of crossbowmen can then hunt it down and kill it.
_not to mention that some dragons wielded poison._
This is nature (where even poisonous creatures can be poisoned), not D&D (where foo attack means foo resistance).
RonJohn63 Good points.
***** _They would learn to avoid the random goats tied to trees for seemingly no reason._
Good point. So we sacrifice small herds. (One or two goats from each herd in the villiage.) We hunted mammoth elephants and probably had to defend against Smilodon, so I'm confident that we could defend against dragons, too.
