Four new tropes were added recently, Really 700 Years Old, Long-Lived, Fangs Are Evil, and Absurdly Sharp Claws. I wonder how much they belong in this index, since they are tropes that can apply to dragons, rather than specifically draconic tropes. I don't know if "dragons often have claws and fangs" for example are good enough reasons to place these tropes here, but I want to open a discussion rather than removing them outright, because I would be willing to hear out a case for them.

I kinda agree that there's nothing about them that's really specific to dragons.

So Absurdly Sharp Claws shows the word dragon in it only four times, and two of them are because of this index (it's the index name and the name of Armored Dragon). Fangs Are Evil shows it eight times (again three are from its presence in this index), while the remaining five are from the titles of shows mostly. Both of these indicate to me that neither of these tropes are specific to dragons, or even associated strongly enough to dragons, to belong here.

I'm the one who added those four tropes since dragons normally have claws, fangs, and super long lifespans. I'm very sorry if I caused any confusion or problems.

Dragons do normally have those, but the point of the index is for tropes focused around dragons, not ones that may apply to dragons, if that makes sense.
