I have something of a weakness for dragons that act more like babysitters for their riders than mounts.

It is the mid-1800s. You are Karl Marx. You have risen to prominence aming leftist circles, with your scathing attacks in contemporary Capitalism and Imperialism. You hear a knock on your front door. Your front door is shattered.
A very large black dragon, a veteran of the British Millitary, apologizes for the damage. His name is Temeraire, and he is a Member of Parliament.
He has read your work and wishes to discuss it with you.

The view from the top -- I can see your house from here! (Bob Eggleton, Dragon 143, March 1989) The reversed signature suggests this was painted with the dragon facing left then was flipped by the editor.

Runaway!GN!Reader meets their new trio of dragons...
Timeline: Race To The Edge [Part 1]
Runaway!Reader who fled their island in the middle of the night, only hours after hearing about their betrothal to some other tribe's heir.
Runaway!Reader who stumbles upon a Deathgripper that's injured, but still ready to fight and kill off any threats. It's stinger at the end of it's tail is exposed and ready to strike...until the Reader leaves and returns with fish they've managed to catch.
As the large dragon finally decides he can resist the fish no more, he begins to devour each one whole until nothing remains.
The Reader is just sitting there with their legs crossed and admiring this very dangerous dragon, mind racing with names and thoughts while the Deathgripper just stares back.
Finally settling on the name DeathStrike, after multiple growls and threatening displays at the other names mentioned, Runaway!Reader notices how the sun is beginning to set and starts to panic a bit.
As night falls, they realize just how much danger was really lurking about because where there's one Deathgripper, there's a pack of them.
Two more, equally frightening and dangerous, come charging out to defend the larger dragon with their tusks and stingers at the ready...but their injured pack mate snarls at them to back off.
DeathStrike has taken a liking to his new human!
He manages to stand and it's even clearer that he is the largest Deathgripper infront of Reader who's taken a few steps back and is panicking at the thought of being this pack of dragon's meal. They cower as the dragons approach and surround them, closing their eyes and tensing up as they prepare for pain.
But it never happens.
Instead they feel the snout of DeathStrike press against their hair, deep breaths inhales and hot puffs of air hit their skin, their eyes slowly open to see a lack of hostility amongst the pack.
A small pack of three male Deathgrippers isn't common amongst the species, but it also wasn't very common for these dragons to just claim a human as their new companion.
But now you're stuck with the trio of Deathgrippers who aren't keen on letting you go.
Imagine the first meeting with the Dragon Riders...

At the center of the merriment, cherished and adored by all, was their only surviving child, Princess Rhaenyra, the little girl the court singers dubbed “the Realm's Delight.”

Princess Rhaena Targaryen taking Samantha Stokeworth on a Dreamfyre dragon ride.
It's missing a few details but this is the best you can get out of me these days. I also need to practice proper lighting.

Love this artwork of Violet and her dragons, Tairn and Andarna! It's definitely nice to see a bigger and more size-accurate depiction of Tairn. Beyond obsessed with this book series! Can't wait for the TV show!

He angy!! Looks like someone insulted his totally awesome scarf and arm warmers, prepare for much fluffed up hissing cause his Kacchan made them just for him and Deku Will NOT! Be taking any criticism.

I’m usually not someone who wants to buy a new printing of a book just because it has a different cover but the Temeraire art by Rovina Cai has me so tempted!
There is even spine cover art for the entire collection!

This series remains one of my favorites and I implore everyone to read these wonderful books! Dragon riders in the Napoleonic wars, with rich cultures from around the world, intense battle scenes, dragons arguing for fair rights and pay, and more!

Rhaenyra Targaryen was a precocious child […] At seven, she became a dragonrider, taking to the sky on the young dragon she named Syrax, after a goddess of old Valyria.
