The Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon

Daily Creature 12

Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon actually believes itself to be a real tiger, despite the fact that it is a dragon.  Like all dragons, the Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon has scaly skin, horns, and breaths fire.  But the Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon considers all this evidence as mere coincidences and points to its stripes and sharp claws as proof that it is really a tiger.  The Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon has repeatedly snuck into tiger cages in zoos throughout North America and Europe. This, of course, is a huge problem as real tigers are deathly afraid of dragons. The leading cause of heart attacks among Bengal Tigers is having a Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon sneak into your cage.  Of course, there are also legal ramifications if the Slouch-backed Tiger Lizard is found in a zoo. As most already know, according to the Mythological Creature Protection Act of 1873, it is illegal for a United States zoo to exhibit dragons (as well as unicorns, gorgons, leprechans, and others).

  1. My Great Grandfather Shamus O’MacLearahy was actually put into a cage in the Boston Zoo back in 1870. During the months he was “imprisoned” his only friend was a slouch-back tiger dragon who later helped him escape. Its good to see Slouch-back tiger dragons finally getting the recognition they deserve.
