- But what really catches my attention about this dragoness is her thick tail, which looks to be twice as thick as a normal dragon tail. And I really don't know how to say this, except to say that this dragoness is seriously luscious. Maybe that's a terrible thing to say because I'm dying and all, but there it is. This is one seriously juicy-looking dragonette.2018, Gabe Hudson, “What a Fitting Place for me to Die, Here in the Belly of the Beast”, in Gork, the Teenage Dragon, page 202:
