Often villages will collect the scales that are frequently shed and they use them to fashion lightweight armor, shields, tools and even roofing tiles.<br/>Stone dragons do indeed fly but choose to leap from cliffs to gain added lift; they are not high altitude fliers though yet can fly at surprising speeds when needed.<br/>Like many species o
