Make dragons farm the land.
The more Zog thought about it, the more he felt it was a great idea.
If you looked closely at a dragon's characteristics, it was basically a large, carbon-based piece of agricultural equipment.
It could serve as a powerful tractor, tilling wasteland and loosening soil. Just by digging its claws into the ground, it could plow a field.
If they were planting tall-stalked crops, harvesting would just be a matter of swiping a claw through them. Therefore, dragons should be made to plant things like corn and sorghum.
They could also fly, making tasks like low-altitude crop dusting effortless.
There would be no need for scarecrows, either. With a dragon squatting by the edge of a field, you could guarantee no birds would dare come within dozens of acres.
If it was a dragon capable of magic, it could even learn some agriculturally useful spells, making it even more versatile.
