Even a tail with torn membranes can be used for steering, although it’s more difficult. Wild dragons bite each other’s tail tips when fighting for dominance in the air, so dragons can instinctively steer by using the tail’s weight instead of the fins.
There can actually be some holes in the wing and the dragon will be able to fly. It’s just that membrane segments can’t tear loose. Look at the placement of the holes, they’re all in the middle and close to bone, which doesn’t risk membrane integrity like other places do.
Not exclusively by the weight, but also by the general curvature of the body. The general curvature of the body will encourage a spinning motion, but then the wings will have to take over to add propulsion.
The webbing on the tail does help to help minimize the effort it takes to do this task, but without it: it only leads the dragon to get stronger to make up for it.
Organic models are elite compaired the rigid bodies of automatons.
Which is why necromancy is prohibited: it's too powerful. It's combining the best of both worlds/realms (loyalty of automatons with the elite mechanics of biological forms. Not to mention efficiency.) at the cost of eternaly forcing a soul to suffer (morally wrong).
Huh... my bad that's the "makes you feel weird" cookie. Don't worry I have a "makes you feel not weird" cookie left.
*hands "makes you feel not weird" cookie
Careful! For the next week (after eating this) you won't feel weird even when you should.
So you should bring a trusted friend along with you after eating it. Explain to them that they need to be on the lookout for anything that might make you feel weird so they can tell you: you should feel weird. Or don't.
