Actual mythology from a range of cultures and time periods

Think about it, the idea that consuming something should imbue you with its qualities makes intuitive sense if you don't know how digestion works, and the heart is the most important part of any being so its properties should be concentrated there.

Dont eat its meat, dragons are probably on the very top of the foodchain and all kinds of shit end up in their liver and meat like heavy metals. Eating carnivores and especially carnivorous fish isnt healthy, at least when eaten a lot. Instead you should dry the meat and sell it to nobles who have too much money.

Its bones are probably hollow if its an standard flying type dragon, thus they are light and could do well making stuff out of them, maybe even polearms if there are bones long enough.

>The dragon is dead, what now?
Dragons are Apex Predators. Often they live in isolation, and their lives span a ridiculous amount of time.

In the beginning, all will be well. The dragon will be farmed for materials, peasants will generally be happy, and things will seem awesome.


Eventually, the preparedness of the kingdom withers because there are no real threats to fight anymore. All awesome tech becomes obscure and unusable. Combat shifts from giant monster killing weapons to dainty personal defense weapons.

Slowly, the native fauna will start to pick up. With no dragon to eat them, hydras start to expand their territory and interbreed with leviathans, creating unholy, multiheaded monsters far worse than the original dragon. Various undead start to infest the dragon's lair and the skies become filled with all sorts of flying whelps.

In the end, the kingdom is destroyed and everyone thinks it's just god's will, which I suppose it is, if god is just the natural order of things.

This. We killed it, we eat it. Then we loot its home and cart back whatever parts of it we didn't/couldn't eat to sell, use, or eat later.
