Why do dragon breath fire, anyway? Seems like a waste of calories for hunting to spend time cooking your prey instead of just snapping their neck. Frankly I'm beginning to suspect dragons aren't real.
dragons get a lot of flammable gases from their diet that they can’t digest. like, yes, technically those are ‘calories’, but they are not dietary calories, they can’t live off them (cf. that joke about how if you drink gasoline you won’t need to eat again for the rest of your life).
so instead they store them in a specialised bladder in their neck and release them in a jet while hunting, working both as a weapon and as 'cooking’ in a rudimentary sense. theories suggest that it was firebreathing that allowed dragons to evolve their current size; trying to hit small prey with their claws while flying is almost impossible for them if their prey dodges at all, because the dragons mass translates to large amounts of momentum, and a lot of force required to change directions in flight. (plus, they are flying. they can’t push off the ground). Whereas firebreathing means they just need to turn their neck to aim, rather than match speed with their prey
