While many have dreamed of dragon mounts, the fact of the matter is that dragons are simply undomesticable. For your homework, I want you to list all the criteria that makes domestication possible and why dragons pretty much fail in every category.
ok I did a module on domestication in my undergrad so let's see, we've got
quick maturing - not in D&D RAW
able to find food in/around human settlements - yes, once
hardiness - yes
herd dynamics - big no
ease of reproduction in captivity - uncertain
bonus : can be kept in captivity in the first place - not for long
How did I do? - Paper
follow-up based on tags/replies
what about mounts? - domestication is a generations-long breeding process. taking a wild dragon and making it your mount is taming, totally different thing (many exotic pets are tame rather than domesticated)
human-like intelligence makes it an ethical issue - 100% agree
sounds like humans are domesticable - yeah actually
