The weirdest thing about the Dragon element thing to me is that it means Deviljho is reasonably intelligent and sentient. And Gogmazios must be a freekin' genius. Also, humans are base neutral to it, like other elements, which implies that the Elder Dragons might be more intelligent than them. Of course, any creature can build up a resistance to it, so maybe years of being attacked by elder dragons moved it from a major weakness to an inconvenience? Or maybe it's dragon minds it was specifically evolved to use against, and was originally used by Elder Dragons in territory disputes. That would explain why creatures that, based on their simularity to real world animals, would be reasonably intelligent, but are also immune to dragon, such as Blangonga and Congalala.
