Why do all the dragons love Rarity?

[Shankveld 4,949]

We've all known since episode 1 that Spike as a thing for Rarity,

but as I was re-watching the episode in season 1 I noticed that in the episode Dragonshy,

the red dragon they encounter, also has a little infatuation with her too.

 

If you re-watch the episode Dragonshy at 16:42 (start watching from there)

you can see Rarity encounter the dragon (the scene lasts about 30 seconds)

she butters him up and he is taken in by her.

 

My question is why do all the dragons in the show have a weird thing for Rarity?

Speculation ? ~

[Ezynell 2,037]

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

She uses a combination of Gypsy magic and fashion to attract dragons

I think she is just very charming and uses her beauty to her advantage.

[Street Comedy 327]

Spike having a crush on Rairity is just a running gag, the one in Dragonshy she buttered up herself just so he would leave.

[Krall 263]

Dragons are known to covet beautiful objects, it only stands to reason that their obsession also extends to beautiful ponies.

[Lyra Heartstrings1 53]

Because Rarity has tons of jewels maybe?

[Crispy 5,563]

The gems on dat flank.

 

[Demi 545]

^ Suggestive much? xP

 

Because Rarity has tons of jewels maybe?

 

I was going to say something like this. Rarity loves jewels, dragons love jewels, must be some kind of hidden link.

 

Plus if you pictured the ponies in a human form I'd imagine Rarity as being the most upkeep and thus, most beautiful. Maybe.

Ha, you should have seen the REST of what that image search pulled up. That's tame.

Actually maybe the dragons do in fact see her as some sort of Jewel.

[83awsm 234]

I agree with the Idea's surrounding the topic of jewels, it seems like even though she buttered up in the scene from Dragonshy, Dragons in general still share a common attraction to thinks beautiful

[Discordian 6,015]

In that I don't think it's nearly the same thing as Spike. In Dragonshy Rarity flatters him, she specifically uses her charm and ability to compliment someone based on their beauty to flatter him and get on his good side. Her downfall was the whole thing about the gems and saying she'd take care of them. The dragon in Dragonshy was basically taking a compliment because Rarity knew how to please him, with Spike it's an entirely different deal because he has a genuine crush.

 

Dragonshy had no form of attraction whatsoever to Rarity, he was merely pleased by what she was saying about him.

Reminds me a lot of King Kong.

Anyone else?

[83awsm 234]

Never thought of drawing that connection between the two, outside of the ep discussion on Episode 10, the dragons do seems to posses’ similar qualities.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Rarity is beautiful, and dragons like beautiful things.

 

'Nuff said.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

Oh Krall, Rarity is the greatest jewel out there

[JappleackWithApples 34]

because she is pretty?

[Shankveld 4,949]

I think we all agree is the

Rarity is a gem, and a beauty

Dragons like gems and beauty.

therefore,

Dragons like Rarity ~

[Twi Rubix 726]

Well, Rarity tries to look her best while the others don't.

 

And she is the only one with some kind of accent.

 

Probably the Mane.

[Krall 263]

And she is the only one with some kind of accent.

Rarity is definitely the only pony with an accent.

 

[Marshmallow 1,137]

Rarity can find gemstones.

Dragons like gemstones.

 

In all seriousness though, like others have suggested before me, I think that it's just because she takes care of her appearance and is supposed to be "the" beautiful pony of the bunch. I think it's just a coincidence that two dragons were attracted to her. I'm sure there's at least one non-dragon in one episode that got a little infatuated with her for some time. I can't think of one in particular, but I'm sure it happened.

[Sunnymilk 40]

Dragons love marshmallows.

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

DDragons hoard Jewels and gems and when they see Rarity the most finest diamond jewel of them all they just cant resist

[cider float 2,537]

Interesting idea but Rarity is just good at persuading others that is until she started taking some of his treasure.
