"Of course, the Dragon Nation uses the Dragon as its Totem, and the power of dragons is unquestionable. However, today's Dragon Nation isn't entirely dominated by dragons either; Pet Beasts are flourishing in endless variety. Even a fragile little thing like the Paperman—look at what it has become today.
