Hydrogen being lighters than air makes the dragon "float" and is also flammable. limestone being rich in calcium creates hydrogen when in contact with stomach acid. There is also this article about The Flight of Dragons (1982) that says:Īccording to the movie, dragons eat gem to crush limestone. While I'm still hoping someone with more knowledge of the dragon Lore will answer this, I will share with you some information I found:Īccording to Wikipedia, Dungeons & Dragons had some gem dragons dating back to 1980, and several of them are said to eat gems, but I have no idea if their dietary preferences were described back then. So, what is the inspiration of Dragons eating gemstones in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? I have scanned the Wikipedia article about Dragon and found nothing in it. The original show (despite being incorrectly infamous for its girly nature) had some rather dark and menacing villains, such as Tirac, Lavan, and Grogar (and Tirac and Lavan were killed, thus making My Little Pony s first generation one of the very few TV cartoons in the 1980s to kill characters off). It's just counter-intuitive to make dragons eat gems, and since everybody seems to accept that without frowning, I wonder from what lore this dietary habit was inspired. While I'm sure there's a lot of minerals in gemstones, but I doubt their caloric values. In used vintage condition as pictured - some paint wear to spikes on back. Maybe it's me that don't know a lot about the Dragons lore, but it's the first time I've heard of a dragon that does that. My little pony friend Spike original envisioned as a dragon too little to fly, this adorable little guy is a purple and green dragon approximately 2 tall. In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Spike is a Dragon that eat gemstones.
