Key ideas in The Mechanics of Dragon Powers
- Hypergolic breath mixes two separate glandular fluids that ignite on contact
- Vented gas breath relies on lung-pressurized volatile bladders sparked at teeth
- Thermal flashes use bio-electric catalyst organs to superheat air without liquid fuel
- Volatile gas reservoirs require enzymatic recovery periods to repressurize
- Catalyst glands become exhausted and vulnerable immediately following expulsion
- Dragons rely strictly on bite, tail, and claw attacks during gas sac replenishment
- Narrow cave tunnels reflect shockwaves, causing lethal back-blasts to the dragon
- Heavy rain prematurely strips and neutralizes suspended liquid fuel droplets
- Subterranean drafts can push unignited volatile vapors back down the dragon's throat
- Direct breath fronts melt or scorch through even heavy dragon-forged shields
- Rupturing the pre-ignition gland forces volatile fluid to detonate within the jaw
- Pinching or piercing the muzzle vent valve prevents pressurized spray release
- Ventral scales slide across one another to permit chest expansion and coiling
- Dorsal osteoderm plates absorb downward blunt impacts from rival strikes
- Rigid plates shatter under flex, requiring shingled plating along movement joints
- Internal breath generation creates lethal core thermal buildup
