The only way you survive from being killed with your parents is that a Dwarf saves you. You live in a cave with the Dwarf and he crafts you armor and weapons from materials you gather for your horde, maybe he is even playable and you use him spelunk into the mountain (this could be a whole mini-game thing in itself - the deeper you navigate into the mountain the better materials you get, but that might be too complicated and like a whole other game). As you progress through the game you find other Dragons who knew your parents and teach you new powers, maybe that's the main point of the game is finding new dragons to teach you (some friendly, some not so friendly).

It blows my mind there are no RPGs where you play as a bad ass monster - specifically a Dragon. Something like Diablo 3 but instead of lame humanoid classes the classes are: Dragon, Hill Giant, Hydra, Chimera, Vampire, Goro from Mortal Kombat, ect ect.

The only reason I have found online why no such game exists are that it would be like 50 times as labor-intensive for the art department making animations and skins, therefore it has never been done.
I've had GMs put me in Vox and Venril Sathir's model before, does that count?
