| - Both act insanely arrogant. They possess strikingly similiar fashion sense, though the Dracosages' robes have less impressive Shoulders of Doom. The Dracon appear to worship evil Gods, and draw their power from them. Then there's Dio and his aspirations of practical Godhood. A World Eater even gleefully rants about how delicious a Dracon's soul is, and specifically refers to now possessing said Dracon's power even though he devoured several other souls at the time...
* Not to mention the optional scene where Danette plays with Odie's manikin and snaps his neck, with apparently no major (read: long-term) side-effects...
* In Father Valerio's sermon on the origins of the races, he refers to the Dracon being born by lightning cast by the gods. The Dracon are (supposedly) superior to all of the past races, learning from their mistakes; however, they also grow too obsessed with the past and ignore the future, to the point that they are completely unable to cope with change... a flaw shared by the Drazillians. Presuming that his sermon has some basis in fact, the Dracon could well be an early attempt by the Drazillians to impose their will on Haephnes, crafted in their likeness and fully expected to thrive by following the Drazillians' ideology exactly...
* Um, since when are Drazilians arrogant? Their gods, sure, but the Drazilians themselves are pretty much the exact opposite of arrogant, having no individuality and thus no sense of self-worth. Also, there's no indication that any Dracons other than Kanan and the rest of the Thurists worshipped anything but the gods of Apis, same as everyone else. And Dio is pretty much the only Dracon who's shown to be particularly arrogant. Most of the Dracon NPCs found in the various towns and cities come off as a bit reserved, but generally friendly.
* Were you paying attention to the end of the game? All the Drazilians looked down on Layna, and indeed anyone who isn't a Drazilian. Not to mention the heads of the Drazilian world tried to program Gig to destroy the earth world.
* I might ask the same question of you. They weren't looking down on her; they honestly thought that anyone who didn't look like them was deformed, which wasn't an unreasonable assumption, given that they'd never seen anyone who didn't look like them before. Furthermore, their initial reaction to her (to try to 'help' her, as opposed to driving out the 'freak') is, under the circumstances, about as far from arrogant as you can get. The 'heads' you refer to are the aforementioned Drazilian gods, who were responsible for brainwashing them into that state, and were indeed exceedingly arrogant. And all of this still doesn't address the fact that the Dracon as a whole do not show any signs of either being particularly arrogant or of worshipping any differently than the rest of the races of Prodesto.
