    Had a puzzle thrown at me by my DM this weekend.

    I have scales but no wings, I guard treasure, precious things. Though I breathe no flame or fire, My riddles stir minds to inquire. What am I?

    !a book!<

    He admitted it was written by ai. I did not guess correctly.

      I wouldn’t have either. At least partially because I have no idea what scales have to do with books.

        Right? Throw in a “I have spine, but no arms or legs. Sometimes, I have dog ears.”

      @zaph @Stamets It should be “a bank.” People make bank inquiries. Traditionally they have scales to measure precious materials. They of course guard treasure and precious things.

      The ghost of a scholarly dragon. No flame because dead but still being inscrutable with people
