Last chapter we learnt that dragons are too stupid to differentiate a mimic from their own offspring. Now the hero is saying that dragons are smarter than humans. Make it make sense.:wtf:
he said the dragon already know one of his children is a mimic. but dragon hesitated because it looks exactly like like his. that's why as soon as mimic change appearance, the dragon ate it.

you misremembered it

wait, where are they now? wasn't the hero sealed in an underground cave?
or was it just a cool visual to represent a teleportation?

Maybe not inteligence but cunning? That seems more appropriate.

Edit: though yeah, as everyone else is reminding, the hero mentions that the mother couldn't bring itself to kill the mother regardless since the mimic was using her hatchling's shape, not that it didn't know it was a mimic.

And the hatchling dragon did immediately recognize its mother was taken over by the mimic as soon as their body was distorted...even if the elf says it is recognizing the mimic as its mother. I mean, the hatchling IS crying while it sees its mother as is, and doesn't seem to hate or wish harm on the elf. I'd bet on going to the mother being more a reaction out of shock, trying to see what's happened to her or something along those lines.

so it was too stupid to overcome its instincts.
No, it just lacked a third eye that sees through balderdash.

She knew one of the hatchlings was a mimic because she knew mimics were around and that something was off. But the mimic was good enough that she couldn't tell which one was the mimic. That's why she reached out for help at all; hoping that more eyes could help her figure out it.

Reaching out for help when you can't solve a problem is definitely something that a lot of humans aren't smart enough to do, or else dozens of people in the 50s wouldn't have turned their Campbell's soup into fragmentation grenades because they couldn't figure out that "boil a can of soup" meant to open it first.

so we go back to it was too stupid to differentiate between a mimic and its own offspring. Something any normal human could do.

You have zero evidence to support that assertion. I, however, have evidence to the contrary; namely that of the three, only Harold immediately knew it was a mimic, and there is nothing remotely normal about him. Heck, outside of his appearance, there's barely anything human about him.
