Has anyone considered how kinda horrifying the implications of making Bogsneak eggs are? Like, if you wanted to, you could just go up to Baldwin, and go “I want a child” and for a small fee, and some materials, you just get it, no questions asked. Bogsneaks are the only dragons that were created without a god as well, which implies that the dragons, if they so choose, could end up playing god themselves. Hell, they already are with the bogsneak eggs. Not to mention just, gene/breed change scrolls in general.
Man, I have a cool idea for an oc guys, I’ll be right back.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Maybe I'm just warped, but that doesn't sound horrifying to me at all, only neat! I enjoy the idea of Baldwin strolling up to the Eleven and being like "hey, I can do that too." Baldwin is like Prometheus. He discovered the secret to the creation of life and shared it with the world. No longer is it the province of gods; now it is the province of everyone.
(The horrifying part is that if the child is ugly, it is shunned by its clan and sold on the open market for 5 gems, or possibly sent off to serve the erstwhile deities without even being named.)

Baldwin saying "I want a child" brought me this meme to mind:

hmm, y'know, with gene/breed change scrolls, i always saw it as simple as dying your hair or getting a tattoo... i guess it's so casualified that no one bats an eye when a dragon sports a bunch of gems over their body overnight.
(though, i do have to admit breed change scrolls fascinate me... becoming an entirely different species and losing senses over another would be... disorienting, at least. i can defos imagine a brand new Tundra being frustrated with not being able to remember anything.)

Joe: I’ve always been a tundra I think?
Robert: No you were a ridgeback last month and for Stormcatcher’s sake this isn’t even your office Joe.
(I don’t have particularly good memory, so I feel for Joe. To be fair, it smelled like his office, so it ought to be his now.)

In my lore Baldwin is actually a deity; patron of alchemy and worldly creation lol..

i had not thought of it like that, never making a bogsneak egg ever again [emoji=coatl happy size=1]

The reason I will NEVER intentionally own a Bogsneak. I did it for the achievement and nothing else. I feel similarly with Aberrations.

I never thought about gene/breed changes like this! Definitely integrating this into my FR headcanons/lore this is cool.
Given how the dragons are [i]created by gods[/i] and exist in a fantasy, high-magic world, I don't think creating dragons or major cosmetic overhauls would be a huge surprise.
