Improving Slay Times in the Common Dragon

By Catherine Shaffer

Abstract

An extract made from the juice of the Hesperidensian pomegranate, injected intramuscularly, will weaken the common dragon, Draco areuginosa, sufficiently to allow a killing blow to the head or hearts (Richardson, et al.).

In order to isolate and characterize this effect, four adult male dragons of the species Draco areuginosa were attracted to our laboratory using Jaffronium's method and slain using either traditional methods or Richardson's technology. Richardson's method improved slay times by 34%.
