Interview with a Dragon Collector | Splinterlands Dragons

Today I have the distinct pleasure of hosting 4 legendary dragons along with an incredible Dragon Summoner, Quix the Devious, known for his ability to tame and control dragons.

---

Interviewer: Wonderful to have you here Quix. Tell us a bit about you.
Quix: Happy to be here! Well, from a young age I became interested in all manners of magic and particularly in dragons. Early on I summoned dragons almost accidentally - they'd be drawn to my magic. I even killed a Void Dragon once - a youth, sadly. I got better at controlling my magic and have ever since been on a mission to collect every dragon I can find.

Interviewer: Gotta catch 'em all, eh??
Quix: ...eh?

Interviewer: Anyways... who did you bring along with you today?
Quix: Thought you'd never ask! Here's Desert Dragon - he's an angry son of a gun, and HATES dragons that are bigger than him. Then we have Chaos Dragon, who is... very chaotic. He's unpredictable. There is a 12% chance he might destroy us during the course of this interview. Third we have a Void Dragon - I keep this one around as a reminder of the youth I destroyed long ago. This one's durable, particularly against magic. Finally I brought Agor Longtail, the massive red one who is glowering at you right now.

Interviewer: Agor seems... nice?
Quix: He's many things, but I wouldn't describe him as nice. You see, he likes to brag, which is understandable as he's the biggest known dragon. As a result, he gets hit way more than anyone else during a battle, which makes him angry. Then he heals himself and brags some more, and gets hit again. It's kind of hilarious to be honest with you.

Interviewer: Ha, I see! So tell us a bit more about these guys. Who's the strongest?
Quix: In a 1 on 1, Agor will win most of the time, although sometimes Desert Dragon will take him down if he gets really angry and retaliates, and then doesn't miss his next hit. You see, Desert Dragon is one of the rare dragons that doesn't fly. Maybe that's why he's so angry...

Interviewer: Tell me more about Chaos Dragon. What's his...problem?
Quix: If you look closely, you'll notice Chaos Dragon has a very... small head. As a result, he can't see very well. Those scales on his forehead don't help with the visibility. So he evolved to release this special gas that blinds his enemies. That way when he shoots around randomly he doesn't feel so bad about himself. Interestingly, Chaos Dragon will beat Desert Dragon in a 1 on 1 100% of the time, because he only fires with magic and Desert Dragon can't counter that.

Interviewer: Are there any other dragons you have that you didn't bring along with you?
Quix: Yep, there's the infamous Diamond Dragon, a glorious beast who really relishes being the final one on the battlefield. There's also the Dragon Whelp, a tiny and thorny dragon. There's the Chromatic Dragon, the Gold Dragon, the Red Dragon, the Black Dragon... So many it's hard to keep track sometimes! There are also hybrids, like Djinn Chwalla and Kra'ar Xoc.

Interviewer: Who's your favorite?
Quix: If I don't say Agor, he'll eat me.

Interviewer: Where do you keep your dragons?
Quix: In a den of course. Where else would you keep dragons?

Interviewer: Makes sense. Can you tell us about a battle these dragons have been in?
Quix: Of course! Here's one of the most epic and ridiculous battle of the dragons ever. It's packed with Dragons, including two Chaos Dragons, Agor, and a Desert Dragons. You see all of them in full strength, with Desert Dragon powering through Agor and almost defeating a Chaos Dragon but ultimately falling. Adelade is one of Agor's besties with that epic armor repair and clutch resurrection. An absolutely epic battle.

Interviewer: Thanks so much for this interview Quix. Agor is starting to flare, I think it's time we wrap this up. Glamour shots?
Quix: You bet!
