Oooooh that would be a PERFECT job for either the kind of dragon that would BE the thief...or the kind of dragon that would stop any thief in their tracks! I love it!
He could be mistaken for a statue in the museum he guards...until someone makes the wrong move. (And now it sounds like this dragon's hoard IS the museum! 😄)
There's a lovely little kids book called Dilwyn the Welsh Dragon, and Dilwyn hatches in the Royal Mint then just basically lives there, stopping burglars! I love tales where dragons and people just coexist like that.
Big fan of a book in which mythical ish figures have normalised day to day jobs. Dragons running cash for gold schemes. Yetis acting as Sherpas. God is a church organist. Lucifer runs a bouji Bikram Yoga place which a really hard to cancel membership
Love this idea. I think Pratchett riffs off this in places - the vampire photographer who has serious problems with the flash turning him to dust springs to mind. And I've not yet read legends and lattes but that's an orc setting up a coffee shop. But I'd really love to see more of this in fantasy!

A crime fighting dragon would be so much fun!

That's adorable! I'll have to look that up...
I can see that being the perfect job for a dragon!
