by the way, some of the beetles sometimes smelled like poop =\ I didn't like it when those appeared, because after them, even my hands started to smell, and I had to go wash them in a puddle.

and we also gave all the beetles nicknames)) Zhuzhelitsa (it seems that's her real name, and everyone knows her, the most dangerous beetle among the ordinary ones), then there were small green ones (we called them fireflies, they usually smelled like poop, then came Zhuzhilki), red-legged beetles (we called them divers or rescuers, because in the water, their head was always underwater, and as a rule, we usually threw them after the disappearance (an accident in the water) of some other beetle, and they pretended to be looking for them).
I don't remember the others, but there were also black ones, of medium size...

Why would they need cities and a social life? They seem perfectly fine without it, but humans aren't. This suggests that humans are more broken than dragons.

Morning
Mostly? Mostly what? Yes, there are works where dragons are portrayed as intelligent beings. However, there are very few such works. These are rare exceptions that are not significant compared to the generally accepted canons.

People eat, use the restroom, and sleep not because they are intelligent, but because these actions are necessary. But, I hope it is beyond dispute that, in addition to physiological needs, they are engaged in many other things?
This is not applicable to dragons, which, like any animal that we can observe in the real world, are only concerned with satisfying the aforementioned needs. Of course, even the dullest of these reptiles, due to their somewhat magical nature, is considered more intelligent than many animals. Approximately at the level of a dog or even a mentally challenged child. But this "intelligence" only serves to optimize the satisfaction of those needs.

Humans are intelligent. Sheep, mushrooms, and vegetables are not. If we are not talking strictly about biological classification, then humans cannot be easily placed on the same level as speechless creatures.
I meant "wise" not in the literal sense)
that is exactly applicable to dragons, what makes you think it isn't?
And the discussion about intelligence is already entering the realm of philosophy, where there is no single opinion and even less evidence. It's just that everyone has their own opinion)
speechless creatures? Some communicate through movements, dances, and behavior. What's wrong with that? And for them, our words are utter nonsense; they wonder why we invented them.
Maybe some communicate through thoughts, but we don't know that.
Or they make sounds, but we cannot hear them, detect them, or even have any basis for their existence.

Added after 4 minutes
P.S. I have an achievement there, where it says that dragons are less "broken" than humans, not "broken," but "developed." Otherwise, due to my T9, it might not be understood

by the way, sometimes we would catch bumblebees in speech boxes, then we would slightly open them, and when the bumblebee tried to get out, we would pinch it so that we could squeeze honey out of its rear and taste it. I remember one time we caught a particularly tasty one, although I only tried it a couple of times, but still...
but the real skill was catching a wasp or a bee, because they were more agile. although they didn't have honey... we just did it when there were no bumblebees around, and we needed something to do. :D
P.S. yeah, I was close to nature.

P.P.S. Wolf, you're hard to understand even without typos.

Oh, I watched that anime!


Барон
"Vampires"

Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!

P.S. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that it's happening in the off-topic section, I would have banned everyone, and that would be the end of it...)))
That would explain a lot, but I think I understand it anyway.
And what, do you ban everyone for disagreeing, whoever happens to be caught in the crossfire? I've seen a couple of ban-happy people, and they usually don't bother to understand. They just dismiss and send away the dissatisfied.

Imaris, the Moon Wolf, if it's not too much trouble, why not provide examples of fantasy works where dragons are intelligent? And wise? I can't think of more than a couple of titles, due to my lack of education.
And regarding intelligence, it's already getting into philosophy, and there's no single opinion there, let alone proof. It's just that everyone has their own opinion.
The human brain is much better developed and has a more complex structure than the brain of even most intelligent mammals. Opinion doesn't matter here.
Although, classifying humans as a separate kingdom, based not on biological theory, but on idle speculation, is indeed philosophy.
