There seem to be few things dragons love quite so much as looking ferocious, and a sturdy cage muzzle like this does virtually nothing to get in the way of that aesthetic! Yes, it keeps the dangerous fire-breathing jaws secured, but it also allows for plenty of showing them off despite the restraint, which means Hueroc here simply cannot resist showing off his many sharp fangs. Yes, they're safely secured behind the muzzle, so he won't be biting anyone, but he's still got plenty of leeway to show all the teeth the muzzle's keeping at bay!

Best of all, he can still speak, if not roar. He can tell you all about what a dangerous beast he is, and how [i]lucky[/i] you are someone's ensured he's contained so you don't have to fear his bite, or his fires, or the full volume of a proper dragon roar... Or, well, you [i]should[/i] fear them--if you did not fear them, after all, then the muzzle could come off! But as he's such a mighty and dangerous dragon, the better move is plainly to keep that muzzle on tight, so the fearsome jaws can be seen but not wielded against any hapless passerby.

Plus, the muzzle just [i]looks[/i] so good, that stout metal cage so snugly and securely protecting all the fangs he's showing off~
