Cows, horses, current breeds of pigs, a few sheep, some goats, many
deer, bear...
Its also worth remembering that the average size of Homo Sapiens back
a couple centuries comes quite a bit under 5'. Given some thought,
this single change makes quite a difference to the average sword and
fantasy realm (I'll ignore the average age of death ranging from the
mid/high 20's to mid 30's depending on when you pick -- it warps the
playing field too much for many players to be comfortable).
>"This is a pet human, this is an eating human..."
"This is a group of humans I keep to breed eating humans..."
Given my body stealing feature, this could be interesting. Have
dragon bodies incredibly difficult to steal. Have them keep camps of
prey animals (eg people) as food supplies. Now make the dragons
*very* good at catching and eating anything that leaves the camps...
Function this skill as a side effect of self-preservation. The
dragons know their food is safe -- but escapees may be able to gang up
and cause them real trouble.
Instant Gulag: Just add dragon and stir.
It also has the benefit of making the players a prey species...
