Because supermodel-forms fit better in French Maid outfits of course. And you wouldn't want a dragon-form maid knocking over half the stuff she's supposed to be cleaning with her tail. *grin*

Absolutely, positively true! But I do like to have a reasonable sounding canonical explanation. I'll just have to put it in the back of my mind until a really good one comes to me.

I guess, you could always just say that the dragons fully transform themselves into humanoids, and the Dispiriting Field simply prevents the dragon from casting the spell again to transform herself back into dragon form, if that works.

Their minds are downloaded into cloned humanoid bodies while their real bodies are used as magical batteries? Or given that Nomoko is becoming more and more magically focused, perhaps she's come into contact with an Eldritch Abomination that is forcing the dragons in to humanoid form in exchange for the bodies of male dragons?
BTW, that's a lot of "Hidden by Owner" in the thread. What's-his-name was being somewhat strident when I was online last night, but did he really get so bad you needed to block his stuff? Or did he block it himself in some kind of huff?

Who's to say that the type of transformation that Dragons undergo when they change size would be un-done when their source of magic is removed? Why isn't it more like a Transporter matter conversion? That way, it's a permanent change that can't be reverted without having access to the very thing that caused it in the first place.
I mean, Melanie's dispiriting bell collar keeps her from reverting back down to fairy size. The same type of thing would apply to that too. No magic, no energy to convert matter.

I guess their arms telescope when so that they can draw their swords from their scabbards.

interesting little creatures indeed, it will be interesting to see them in combat in the future, im sure it will be a spectacle seeing them take down and capture these belle dragons, or seeing them reactive if someone ever got close enough to nomoko to pose a threat (how ever minor it would be)
i do love the idea of the DFG but i do have a question, why has one never been put into a ship so passage through the sherwood nebula is possible, could it protect a ship from its magical properties
regardless i look forward to seeing more of them and hearing more of the lord of the ring puns, i suddenly feel inspired to draw ^^

The House of Benefactors in their constant campaign to limit Nomoko's power have not allowed her the resources to build strategic DFG's. She is only allowed to manufacture the small prototype generators she made as a proof-of-concept.
This limitation was an attempt by the HoB to frustrate Nomoko, but using her new found power of imagination, she made lemondae out of lemons and placed the small proof-of-concept generators inside NITE Bears, hence creating her private army. Though her innovation allowed her to get around that one rule, she is still unable to make DFG's large enough to enshroud an assault ship. But she still has plans...

"When life gives you lemons you squeeze them, hard. Make invisible ink. Make an acid poison. Fling it in their eyes." - Dr. Impossible, Soon I Will Be Invincible
That... actually sounds kind of like what Nomoko is doing.
It does sound like at some point the House of Benefactors are going to consider Nomoko a rather prickly issue that they must deal with. If luck is to be with them, they had best deal with her before she runs into any Shelleys amongst the Belle Dragons!

The Nightbears are invading Skyrim! I thought Mass Effect or Buck Rodgers would be next.

Oh good heavens, where to begin....
Lineage is a grindfest MMO made by NCsoft, The Game Killers(tm), yet it and Lineage II have managed to survive for a very very long time despite slightly outdated graphics. The best way to describe the dark elves of Lineage is that the entire race is made up of bondage and leather fetishists. ... Mind you, I find nothing at all wrong with this, and actually make it a positive in the dark elves' favor. *shifty eyes*

Now I see why Mauser recommends them.

Lineage is another Fantasy MMORPG. the dark elves aren't quite as dark as the ones in WOW.

As I remember, the story was that the "w" thing was originally programmed in by the Robolords to appeal to children and annoy Maidens. You could easily say that eventually even the Robolords got annoyed with it and ordered the Bears to knock it off.
You could even have some Bears continue to do it as a form of protest against perceived slights by the Robolords.

You'd think if they could make tiny robot teddy bears that still have enough general skill and power to enslave dragons they wouldn't have much trouble making something to take down a pink haired girl with a Batman-esque vendetta against sentient machines. I'm sorry if that sounds snobby I've been watching a British guy review video games for the past hour. It's not him that's snobby it's his accent that makes him sound so.

True all consuming hat eis very hard to quell without completely eliminating the source. But that's not gonna happen in Prin's or Batman's cases. Can't bring back parents that easily or reverse psychological damage and how much time those poor girls lost to being enslaved.
