The king might as well have given him an empty plot of land.
Okay, the dragon is definitely impressive, but there are three problems I have with it, Cain.
Firstly, it's in front of the door. The placement is just poor and it gets in the way.
Secondly, it's too big. Showy is fine, but you're gonna want the entrance to feel spacious, so something as excessive as this won't do.
Lastly, you stuffed this creature, right? That means those are real dragon scales and hide and everything? Way too expensive to just leave hanging around! Those are valuable materials, and even if you can spare the money, what if someone plucks scales off it or something?
