"Hibernating" dragons actually sustain themselves from the fluids that seep into the underground rock caves they inhabit.

Humans can sustain themselves from these fluids as well for a time, but this might lead to long-term health complications.

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore there is a Swiss tale of a man who finds a dragon in a hole in the ground and lives there for a while. The dragon lives off the fluids from the cave walls. The man decides to try them as well and turns into a dragon by the fluids.

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore It’s 9pm Saturday. I’ll look thru the 7000ish folk tales I have tomorrow. I also might be misremembering parts of it. I ran into it when I was testing out various translation software as I will never be able to translate that much German without software.

OK, I didn’t find all of it, but I found some of it. This is not it, but its the only Swiss tale I can find of someone becoming a dragon: “Zum Drachen verwünscht” in “Alois Lütolf, Sagen, Bräuche, Legenden aus den fünf Orten Luzern, Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden und Zug, Luzern 1865 Alois Lütolf, Sagen, Bräuche, Legenden aus den fünf Orten Luzern, Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden und Zug, Luzern 1865”

Continues…

As for Dragons and Drinks and People, there are several. Here is the first one I found:

"Der Küfer von Luzern in der Drachenhöhle” in “C. Kohlrusch, Schweizerisches Sagenbuch. Nach mündlichen Überlieferungen, Chroniken und anderen gedruckten und handschriftlichen Quellen, Leipzig 1854.”

Continues…

"In der Drachenhöhle” in ”Müller, Josef: Sagen aus Uri 1-3. Bd. 1-2 ed. Hanns Bächtold-Stäubli; Bd. 3 ed. Robert Wildhaber. Basel: G. Krebs, 1926, 1929, 1945”

This one has the addition of someone drinking the liquid in the dragon hole and being healed and gold forming inside the drinker.

There are plenty more tales about dragons eating solid gold and drinking liquid that turns into gold.

This source also has a tale: “Die Drachenhöhle am Bristenstock" which is a different take on the Dragon hole and survival skills when trapped.

As any veteran knows, old books you've inherited bring nothing but trouble.
You should keep them under lock and key - or perhaps even burn them, just to be safe.
