I think they probably ought to be incomprehensible to
humans. I mean, to understand draconic speech, humans
used to have their brains split in half as well as
their tongues. This is isn't just like trying to
understand a different human culture, or even
understand trolls, this is *weird*.

Even vision will be odd, I think. We're not sure
dragonnewts use the same 3D geometry as the rest of
us. Back when I was temporally closer to a degree that
included General Relativity and so on, I postulated
that they use the same *four* dimensions as us, only
the one they treat like we treat Time is one of the
others. Or something...

You might want to give him at least a slight headache
from trying that. Some interesting psychosis would
seem only reasonable. He might find he's suddenly
left-handed, if that appeals? Or that looking at
things with his left eye gives different results from
looking with his right?
