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.

Date: 2007-10-25 06:14 pm (UTC)The dragon who dislikes all other dragons could be a "misodrachist", "misodragist"," adragist", "antidraconian".
The dragon who dislikes dragonets could be an "antilacertine" or "missaurian", reflecting a condescending attitude toward "mere" lizards.
The dragon who dislikes Yarge more than is warranted could be a "misanthrope", no new term specifically needed.
The dragon that likes Yarge more than is warranted could just be "gullible" or "naive".
