Talk:Special Lesser Dragons/@comment-24524001-20140306043406/@comment-36370434-20191005165547

I don’t think the dragons in the Everfall were once Arisen. Grigori and the special dragons all have dialog hinting at their humanity, or at least their past humanity, while the non-special lesser dragons all lack dialog like that. I think it is plausible that the dragons and by extension enemies in the Everfall and Bitterblack only exist as a test for arisen and lack their natural origin. It would explain why a drake would just casually hang out in a big, round room with seemingly no use. Or why a cockatrice, griffin or manticore would hang out in a room like that although they are apparently simply animals that need to hunt/eat like everyone else. The only thing that contradicts this is the drake in the overworld pre-postgame.
