Knights fighting dragons how to#
One of my favorite knight-and-dragon duos is Hiccup and Toothless, from How to Train Your Dragon. I would rather BE the dragon than the knight, that’s for sure. Megan Morrison said, “It depends on the tale. (Though his innards are probably not attractive.)”Īnd then there were those who waffled (maybe waiting to see whether the dragon or the knight has the greater charm…): I’m sure he was miserable while stuffed inside that dragon’s belly with all those other critters and things! However, the dragon is by far the cutest I have ever seen. Luke Reynolds favors knights, and said, “My all time favorite knight: the young protagonist in The Sunflower Sword….”ĭonna Janell Bowman added, “I would vote for the knight because dragons do not have opposable thumbs, which are required to hold the credit card that pays for the keyboard, that requires thumbs to hit the space bar, which is important for typing stories about knights and dragons.”Ĭarole Gerber replied, “I’m rooting for the knight because he’s the victim in this tale. (I’m with you, Hayley.) On the opposing team: I’m too much of an animal lover not to.”Īnd Hayley Barrett added, “My heart is with the dragon for I love them and want one of my very own.”

Laurie Thompson said, “I must confess I would root for the dragon. Luke Reynolds declared, “I would root for the dragon unless the knight is a kid!” They are like dogs or whales, aren’t they? Such wise souls…Sorry, knight, but my heart is with the mighty dragon.” Tamara Smith said, “All I can think of is Toothless, who I adore, and who has brought my already love and support for dragons rise to the surface. Even when a dragon is of the evil variety, it ends up being more interesting than the knight somehow.” Because the knights often seem to be asking for it in a lot of the tales and there’s just nothing cooler than a dragon. Plus, everyone has got to eat, so we can’t really blame the guy for wanting lunch.” I think they’re just misunderstood critters. Jason Gallaher added, “I’ve got to say I’m very pro-Dragon. I have always had a soft spot for animals (I have my degree in Zoology).” And the dragon in Penny’s book is so cute! I especially love his purple horns, and expressive eyebrows.”ĭebbi Michiko Florence agrees: “Dragon. knight battles, I’d always be in favor of dragons. In honor of Penny Parker Klosterman’s There Was An Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight launch I thought I’d pose the question.

I rather like dragons, myself (scaly, slimy, fire-breathing beasts that they are), and wondered how many other EMUs shared my sentiments.

In days of old, when knights were bold…they fought the dragons that plagued the stained glass of cathedral windows.
