I make a lot of posts going over the behaviors of dragon!Fire Spirit Cookie, but I talk as if people already know these dragon traits, so, instead, I'm just going to make a list of dragon trairs that I headcanon the Dragons (and Fire Spirit's Cookie) do. These were mostly inspired by various lizard and snake behaviours, but also some other animals too.

Traits

Sticking out tongue like a snake (sensing the air)

Hoarding treasures

Preferring warmer climates (most cold blooded animals)

Not liking other dragons in their territory unannounced

Nodding to show they are listening

Holding up arm to show that they're not a threat (will also sometimes do this to show their mate that they submit to them)

Liking shiny things

Nesting!

Being surprisingly good with kids/participating in alloparenting (alligators are good moms and ya gotta love em for that)

Clicking tongue to get other Dragon's attention

Content

Wagging tail when excited

Headbobbing when happy (depending on the context, it can also be indicating they want to challenge someone or they're courting someone)

Eyes dialting anytime they see something they like

Purring

Slow Blinking (also do that when sleepy)

Aggression /Fear

Growling (obv)

Flapping wings as a warning

Raising their wings/spikes on spine to appear bigger

Slapping other dragons on the head when they get too close or are annoyed by them (like seals or cats do)

Quick fighting style that relies on strikes (like snakes)

Raising their wings and tails when they feel alert

Intimidation via sizing the other dragon up (best way I can describe it is when someone is trying to threaten you so they get really close to you and stand above you)

Tapping the other's head with their claws (can also be used as courtship behaviour. Imma be so fr; a lot of reptiles species seem to overlap their aggression and courtship behaviours)

Slapping tail against ground

Maintaining eye contact as a way to challenge them

Courtship

Heightened competitiveness with the onr they're courting (testing their strength to see if their worthy)

Showing off their strength

Licking teeth to show they're interested

Jealousy and competitiveness to anyone else whose trying to court the one they're courting

Nudging at their mate (like a goat, but some lizards actually do that, lol)

Giving gifts to their mate/potential mate (such as food or treasure. Can also get a bit jealous when others do it, lol)

Rubbing cheeks together (it makes more sense if it's between two Dragons in their Dragon form, but it looks pretty awkward when not. RIP Pitaya; Hollyberry probably won't know wtf you're doing)

Okay, but hear me out-

[velvetchiffon]

sorry I haven't posted in so long, I drew soooo much fire spirit cookie art (+firewind) it's not even funny AAAHHH

[velvetchiffon]

I don't think that dragon!Fire Spirit Cookie gets jealous often (he's way too overconfident for that), but the idea of a cookie coming into HIS territory (Dragon's Valley) and hitting on HIS mate (technically not "his" mate bcuz both are emotionally constipated) is the funniest thing to me. Like, he'd just be watching this Cookie flirting with Wind Archer and is just standing there like:

Jambound is over.

pssst

i come requesting ur airfryer headcannons

-fox cookie anon

YIPPIEEEEEEEE :DDDDDD

Also, I'm giving Wind Archer dove behaviours bcuz he's already associated with them

Wind Archer Cookie X Dragon! Fire Spirit Cookie headcanons

-Despite Wind Archer Cookie knowing about every animal's behaviour, he is so emotionally constipated that he doesn't even realize that Fire Spirit is basically courting him like a dragon would, even though he knows that Fire Spirit Cookie has dragon DNA

-The forest reacts to Wind Archer's emotions. While he may be acting like his usual "hard-to-read" self, whenever Fire Spirit Cookie is around, the flowers around Windy bloom <3

-Doves show affection to their mates by preening them. Wind Archer isn't that physically affectionate, but sometimes, when he gets tired, he'll start playing with Fire Spirit's hair or clothing

-Male doves will also help their mates build a nest and, for Wind Archer, this translates to making comfortable spots for Fire Spirit to rest when he visits the Millenial Forest

-I mentioned before how Fire Spirit gives Wind Archer things like gold and shiny things. Birds are also known to like shiny things, so Wind Archer decorated parts of the forest with them

He gets him to wear bells like when someone puts them on their cats collar so they can’t hide lol. I need to get back to work.. this took way too long.
