While Terry Pratchett’sDiscworldnovels delve late into all manner of fantasy figure of speech , there astonishingly are n’t all that many dragons ply around on the Disc ; that ’s because dragons , or rather the extremely big and potent ones we generally tie in with the intelligence , require so much illusion to survive that they have a punishing time existing in the real world . Instead , draco nobilisare all bone up into a little pocket dimension full of magic , where they can contentedly slumber the millennia away – at least , until some short - sighted human endeavour to summon one .
Draco nobilis , or " noble dragons , " are one of the two kinds of dragon found on the Disc . The other , far more commondraco vulgaris(generally called " swampland dragons " ) are approximately two understructure long , and can ( and do ) rust just about anything combustible for keep their inner fire alight . Unfortunately , swampland dragons are extremely volatile , and extremely excitable , meaning that the greatest threat to a swamp dragon is its own anxiousness , and that their leading effort of end is exploding .
And that ’s the Crux Australis ofGuards ! Guards!A cabal of challenging adult male summon a Draco to the urban center of Ankh - Morpork , hoping to arrange a revolution against the city ’s government that will let them instal a Martin Luther King on the throne;the dragon in question , however , has some singular idea about who deserves to wear the crown .
