You may have noticed that some of your dragon friends may “meep!” at you. The first time this happens you may feel confused. What is meep supposed to mean anyways? Despite it’s increasing popularity few people know the true meaning of the word meep, and others are simply misinformed. This is unfortunate, and is the source of many a dragon’s unhappiness. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place. Nobody knows more about meep nor has used it more often than I have. In fact I dare say that I am primarily responsible for making the word popular. Many of my friends saw me meeping, and thought it was cool. As the trend spread to the masses it’s origin was quickly lost. This is why I’ve decided that it is time to set the record straight.

This way the dragon feels he is getting the attention he deserves. The pounce will usually be followed by another meep. The end result is that both of you are happy. Let’s see this in action:

I hope that this article helps clear up some of the questions and confusion you may have had surrounding meep.
