In "The Demigod Files" by Rick Riordan, the protagonist reflects on the advantages and risks of having a powerful bronzed dragon in their battle against the Titan lord Kronos. The sheer presence of the dragon would likely intimidate Kronos's monsters, potentially deterring them from attacking the camp.

However, there is also a concern about the dragon's temperament. If it were to go out of control and turn against the campers, it could result in dangerous consequences for those it was meant to protect. This duality illustrates the unpredictability of such a formidable ally in a fight against evil.
