Fear sam bith a loisgeas a mhà s, ‘s e fhèin a dh’fheumas suidhe air.
Far an taine ‘n abhainn, ‘s ann as mò a fuaim.
Is ladarna gach cù air a shitig fhèin.

Dragonet can also refer to a small dragon-like creature that inhabited Pern when settelers first arrived....
Some Dragons can be refered to as Gods, The origional term in my book is Weyr Lords: They protected the early outcast humans, during times of war in exchange for game, peace, and the advancment of knoledge; over the centuries this relationship became one sided and the dragons treated as gods. This did not bode well.....
Sorry that was off topic.....
