Generally, it’s beneath your dignity as a fit dragon lord to go stealing kills from other creatures – but if you must, then remember to avoid a basilisk’s intended dinner as they poison their prey.

When paying court to an attractive young queen, whatever you do – don’t flirt with her mother. Not only will your prospective mate be rightly incensed at your disrespect, so will her sire. And if he’s successfully raised a family, he’s liable to be a lethal, more experienced fighter than you.

You may be in the habit of furling sisters or dams within your wings in the privacy of your lair – but when out in company, keep your wings well and truly folded across your back and nowhere near any queens. No lord wants to be accused of being a lecherous wing fondler…

Always bathe after you’ve suffered a crash-landing. Not only will it soothe any injuries, it will also clean away tell-tale signs like branches stuck between your scales and grass stains on the wings.

Appearances can be deceptive. Frost giants enjoy lolling around on floes creaking to one another, giving the impression they are slow and easy-going. In reality, they are quick to take offence, can move very fast and are vicious, deadly fighters. Avoid them.

If your aery Overlord is fond of giving speeches, pay particular attention when he starts bugling in a low drone with lots of long words. It’s during those bits that he’s likely to slip in any nasty surprises, like an extra levy or more guard duty.
