…which also happens to be a universe where dragons are small and raised as pets, he kept it. Much to the chagrin of his assistant who has to stop it from eating its toys. As it grew up it developed into a healthy oillipheist with an even healthier appetite. But how does one care for such a dragon? “How to Raiſe and Keep A Wyrme” says:‘Oillipheist are, in the grand scheme of dragon care, easy beasts to keep. Water levels and cleanliness do not bother them much, nor do other dragons. In addition, they will eat anything given to them without trouble. Even things larger than themselves. If presented with such a large delicacy, it will swallow it without hesitation. Anything too large to fit will either sit in the dragon’s throat-pouch or hang out of its mouth. As the portion in its stomach is digested, the dragon will continue to slowly swallow its morsel until nothing is left. In this position the dragon is quite vulnerable. Make sure yours is at least partially exposed to the air so that it does not drown. Their not-so picky appetite can be troublesome, though. Oillipheist do not bother differentiating edible from non-edible. If you are to place amenities or environmental pieces in their tanks, make sure they are firmly rooted or glued down so the dragon cannot swallow them. Unlike the Greek drakons, they abhor the sound of music. Many have been stressed out by thoughtless caretakers trying to charm them with a song. One does not have to give up music, however. Simply fasten their tank with a suitably sound-proof lid, and they will not notice it. As a final note, as is the case with all British serpents, the oillipheist abhors any soil taken from the earth of Ireland. This causes considerable distress in the dragon and must be removed immediately.’Side note, if anyone reading this owns a publishing company, I would totally write a book about keeping tiny dragons for free -- source link
