Questions I'll need to answer for the Tooth and Claw game

[ffutures]

What would the technical term be for each of the following:

A male dragon who dislikes and distrusts female dragons?
A female dragon who dislikes and distrusts male dragons?
A dragon of either sex who dislikes and distrusts all other dragons?
A dragon of either sex who dislikes dragonets (and not just in the culinary sense)?

A dragon who dislikes and distrusts Yarge (humans) even more than they deserve?
A dragon who likes and trusts Yarge more than would seem prudent?


Reason for asking is that in the character creation section I'm writing up traits for dragons under various categories, attitudes to other dragons and to Yarge will obviously be important, and I want to avoid technically inaccurate terms such as "misogynist" if I can.

I've been assuming "Dragon" and "Dragoness"

Well, bugger. That doesn't help. Is "Yarge" a human term or draconic? If you've got some archaic dragon language to pull from, that would probably be better, and massage the male and female roots appropriately to get the terms you're looking for.

Try Yarge with a "J" instead of a "Y" and pronouncing it...

Got it. Cute.

As for the male/female haters, another possibility that occurred to me is "masculodious" / "feminodious", which still sounds kinda strange, but maybe you can further play with it.

Many thanks - I'll give those a try.
