Father and Eggs

Comments:
A father protecting his clutch of dragon eggs is rarely found in dragon artwork, but in this
instance it is captured wonderfully. Modern science has revealed that monitor lizards, which
include the ferocious Komodo Dragon,
do not protect or raise their offspring. In fact, young komodo dragons have to roost in trees
until they are large enough not to be eaten by the adult komodo dragons. Having a depiction of
a parental unit, especially a father, guarding the eggs is a refreshing image.
