Yes and no. It is a dragon-like creature, but not a dragon. He becomes a reincarnation of a god. In Elder Scrolls, dragons are a race just like elves, imperials, redguards, nords, or dwarves. More like dwarves in that they are extinct.
It's name is Shadow and you must rescue it. I woke up yesterday to my jack russell inches away from my face, staring me in the eye.
Looks a lot like my German Shepherd, great dogs. I personally would get a puppy. Just so you can train the dog, so YOU can start the first bond it has with a human, etc.
I'm leaving for college in like half a year and this dog needs a home. I'd rather just have an adult dog. Also Emma Stone blonde. Personally I'm a fan of brunette.
