I have played now several times with the dragon, and many times it happened to me things like
1) Player A can eat a nearby meeple from player B, no meeple of player A are nearby, but player A moves the dragon away from the meeple.
This behaviour has no reasons to me. Why would you let player keep their meeple?
2) Player A can move dragon towards a lot of meeples of player B, C and D. No meeples of player A are nearby, but player A moves the dragon to a dead end.
This behaviour is also unexplicable to me. If, in that direction, you have nothing to lose, why moving the dragon to a dead end?
Is this kingmaking? All the players spotted with this behaviour were ELO 200+ so we cannot talk about inexperienced players.
