Hideous Zipplebacks are aggressive and generally argumentative dragons. They
possess two heads, each with a different personality. Hideous Zipplebacks have
a team attack: one head breathes flammable gas while the other head gives it
the spark to ignite.

Taming Entry;

You know Joy, maybe two heads are better than one. Maybe if I had two heads, I wouldn't get into so many scrapes. What's the scrape this time you ask?? Well, I'll tell you.

I didn't even go dragon looking this time. I promise!! I had been sent out be the village healer to gather herbs and roots and such when I heard a strange noise behind me, a sort of hiisssssss sort of noise, then a sharp crack, crack. Realizing to late what it was, a jumped for cover as the air exploded behind me. I thanked my lucky stars that the tree I had hidden behind was alive and had been soaked bu the recent rain. I peeked out and sucked in my breath. There was the most amazing Zipplebac I had ever seen. He was a greenish grayish stone color, with orange stopes and squiggles on his heads, wings and legs, both pairs of eyes as yellow as a cats. The two heads were weaving back and forth, studying me.

I stepped forward and reached for my bag, only to realize that it was full of herbs and roots, not meat and fish. I froze, weighing my options. Stay and face the dragon, hoping to win it over by sheer personality. Bad. Run away. Really bad, it was a hunting animal and would give chase. Try and tempt the dragon with herbs and roots. Not as bad. Some dragons liked specific kinds of herbs and roots, so I might as well give it a try. I sat down and started digging through my bag, hoping the Zipplebac wouldn't attack me.

"Aha!" I cried, pulling out a bit of Mint. Some dragons loved the stuff, but not all. I gently tossed it toward the zipplebac. Both of his heads bent to sniff it, but quickly recoiled, hissing. "Okay, okay." I said, digging though my bag, "Not a fan of mint. Hey, what...?" I trailed off, pulling a long cylinder out of my bag. "Oh, thank Thor!" I exclaimed, jumping up. The least head sparked at me nervously. "Oh, don't worry." I told it. "Watch this." I thanked my lucky stars that I had bought this just yesterday and had forgotten to take it out of my bag. I held it away from me and pressed a button. Zipplebac gas poured out of the cylinder. Quickly spinning in a circle to prevent getting to much in one place, I turned off the gas and turned to the dragon, grinning. I tapped the next button and sparks flew from the end of the cylinder, causing the gas to burst into flame around me.

The zipplebac immediately grinned with both it's heads and bounded over, it's heads bumping me from either side, "Hey!" I protested playfully, "East there, you tiger!" Both head bumped me again. "What, you like that?" I asked. "Well, you can't both be named tiger. So how about you, Mr. Sparky, are Tigro and your twin over here is Tigre?" The heads twined around my happily and I laughed. "I'm guessing that's a yes. Lets get the herbs back, shall we?" I started back toward the village, Tigro and Tigre at my heels.

Taming Entry; Day 1
I found a dragon! It took quite a lot of work to track him to his lair, but I believe it will be worth it, as long as I'm able to tame him. I'm going to try not to spook him too much... One head's already caught a glimpse of me, so I think that's enough for now.
Day 2
I've returned to his lair. He hasn't seen me yet, but I can definitely see him... Like a pumpkin patch, he is! Both heads look drenched in orange, like they've just been eating a creature with orange blood. The other head, not the same as yesterday, has seen me. It looks suspicious, and headbutts the other to get it's attention. I think I'll call the left one Pumpkin, and the right one Patch, to keep them separated. Anyway, Pumpkin seems terribly suspicious of me. Patch looked over for a moment, then returned to whatever he was doing; I can't quite see what exactly that is right now. Pumpkin is going to be the harder head to win over, I can see that already. With this info, I leave again. No need to rush, right?
Day 3
Today, I plan to approach the dragon! A basket of fish on my back, all my weapons left behind, and an eel in my back up bag (just in case; I'm planning on leaving it behind a rock so I don't scare him away). As I poke my head up from behind a rock, I see Pumpkin already alert. He spots me, and hisses, sparks flying from his mouth. I put my hands up in an obvious gesture of peace, and slowly, very slowly, reach behind myself to the basket. I pull out a fish blindly, hoping it's going to be something tasty. I toss it his way. Patch looks up blearily, and I realize he had been asleep. However, he seems very interested in the tasty snack, and gobbles it right up. A good sign! I needed Pumpkin's approval, however, before I could get any closer. I toss another fish, this time aiming it closer to Pumpkin. No good - Patch takes this one as well, although Pumpkin does try to get it away from the other head. I realize that I'll need to give them a few, to make sure that the distrusting head will get one as well. I do that, and Pumpkin, reluctantly, digs in. With that success, I move a little closer, around the rock, just to see what the dragon would do. Patch nods his head, then looks around lazily. Pumpkin nods, but keeps a close eye on me. Now that Pumpkin isn't likely to bite my hand off, I need to find a way to keep Patch's attention. Putting a hand to my mouth, I try to whistle, but the fish stench throws me off; I gag, breaking eye contact with Pumpkin. I look up again quickly, but both heads are looking away now. This is getting frustrating... I'm taking a break to write this, but I don't want to give up, not yet. Alright! I'm gonna try again!
~~~
I go back, head held high, with a fish in each hand. Both heads look over at me, but once again, Patch is uninterested. I step closer, and Pumpkin hisses, but no sparks fly; that's always a good sign. I put out one hand out, closer to Pumpkin as if beckoning the dragon closer. He starts to move, but seems conflicted. I put the other hand out, and make a loud noise; not a shout, just a general sound. Patch looks up, and I make sure he can see the fish. He inches closer, but I don't move. The whole dragon to walk forward, all eyes intent on the fish in my hands. As soon as it's just a few feet in front of me, I drop the fish, and dash around to jump on top of his back. Both Pumpkin and Patch are feasting on the fish when I get on, and neither seem to mind me being there. "Fly!" I shout, feeling exhilarated in that moment. The dragon beats its wings, and we're off the ground. I had done it! I'm actually writing this a few days after the fact, since I had to get him measured for a harness, and let Pumpkin and Patch get used to the village, but now they sleep in the dragon pen to the side of my house. My first dragon tamed! And now, I sit here, wondering: what adventures will we be going on? I don't know. But they'll be fantastic, I'm sure.
