Re: Warning, incoming neurology/animal physiology dump
(Anonymous) 2014-11-03 10:56 am (UTC)(link)This is all really cool, and an awesome comment! On the topic, my understanding was that within animal orders brain size can matter - e.g. in primates, with humans having bigger brains proportionally. So, considering that the dragons in HTTYD seem pretty damn clever, you would perhaps assume they larger brains than similar, less smart animals like them - reptiles basically, though you could make arguments for other animals based on the neural specialisations you mentioned above. Based on that I imagine you could look at the dragon's skull shapes based on their character design, estimate their brain size proportional to their body, and see whether they compare favourably to IRL animal brain sizes.
And they probably won't because they're cartoons. But it would be interesting nevertheless. If anyone could be bothered, ha.
