Outright retcon the “Some Proto-Dragons are sentient, others aren’t” thing because that crap never made any lick of sense
That for some reason half the members of a race are highly intelligent people while the other half are just regular bestial winged lizards is not acceptable
Please fix
How does it not make sense, when it’s being not-so-subtly implied that them becoming sapient may not be a natural phenomenon?
If it’s indeed a result of Keeper experimentation, then it fully affecting some and not others would make more sense than the same result manifesting uniformly in every proto-dragon.
Moreover how are we to say they aren’t all intelligent? Just because most of them don’t speak to us in a manner we recognize doesn’t mean they’re dumb beasts; even the proto-Aspects weren’t actually said to have been speaking to each other and the other proto-dragons in modern draconic.
Considering 99% of proto drakes have been demonstrated to be little more than beasts. its stupid that these Primalist ones are somehow sapient enough to have complex communication with the aspects when the Aspects only achieved that level of intelligence because of the titan power affecting them. This story is so stupid.
If anything, we need fewer sapient dragons; not more.
Where was this ever implied ? We know for certain that there already were sentient Proto-Dragons before the Titans empowered them and created the Aspects. Vyranoth talks about how the Titans “warped their eggs”. The War of the Scaleborn is precisely about the fight put up by the Proto-Dragons who did not want to be reshaped by the Titans.
And I mean, of course Proto-Dragons would be naturally sentient, given that they descend from Elementals, who are sentient.
That’s what should be, yes, but the lore is that some are sentient while some aren’t. Quoting Nozdormu from Legacies Chapter One :
Azeroth was home to the ancestors of Dragons, primitive beasts ruled by primal instinct. Yet, there were a few in whom the spark of intelligence was lit ; who thought, spoke, and felt more deeply than the rest".
