I think that there could be a lot of hidden dragons that no one knows of, just look at the dragons that we have already seen, the dragon that Aang and Kuzon encountered lived high up in the mountains, while Ran and Shaw lived in another mountain in caves with surprisingly small entrances. Another thing we have to consider is that Aang found a new breed of lemurs and a new herd of flying bisons, so there is no reason why someone couldn't find another group of dragons during the years between A:TLA and LoK, this group of dragons could reside on a small Fire Nation island or maybe somewhere in the vast Earth Kingdom. What I am trying to say is that I think that the dragons might be better of, in terms of population, than what we were first led to believe.</i></div>
<p>Possible. </p>

<p>Ran and Shaw were ancient Dragons that's why they were so big. The sunstone that Zuko picked up and said felt alive was indeed an egg foreshadowing. Keep in mind that Druk is 18 years old in LOK and it has been 70 years. Ran and Shaw could be his parents if Dragons have ultra life spans(Ran and Shaw were said to be ancient) and Druk is just one of there many children, or Druk is a grandchild? I still don't know if dragon eggs contain multiple small babies or if they only contain one. Either way Zuko had to be given Druk as a gift from the Sun warriors. Druk and Korra are the same age too. </p>

<p>I would assume that old age was the reason for Ran and Shaw's great size, but when was it mentioned that they are ancient? </p><p>Zuko and Aang's quotes about the sunstone sure make you think about a dragon egg, but the sunstone actually doesn't look like the only confirmed dragon egg from "Dragon Days" in "The Lost Adventures". </p><p>I personally think that dragon eggs only contain one dragon, since that seems to be most common in a lot of franchises. </p><p>Now regarding Druk being given to Zuko by the Sun warriors, I would say that there is a possibility that he received Druk directly from Druk's parents, because I am not sure that it is the Sun warriors who decide which person that is going to recieve a dragon egg, I mean they didn't decide who was worthy to learn the true meaning of firebending, it was Ran and Shaw  who made that decision. </p>

<p>I never thought that there could be different species of dragons, but that would make sense, since the green dragon from the comic (Dragon Days) doesn't really look like Sozin's or Roku's dragons. Nevertheless one of the major reasons why I didn't think that the sunstone was a dragon egg was because it looked so metalic, but maybe some dragon eggs just look like that, or perhaps the golden metalic surface we see is actually a protective case for the dragon egg. </p>

If they weren't killed by someone they are probably still alive. <p>Aren't Ran and Shaw both male dragons going by their names? But again they could also procreate without a partner or be like the dinossaurs from Jurassick Park(they can change sex). </p> </i></div>
<p>Jurassic Bender. Now that would be a story. </p>

<p>Wait, when did it say that Druk was 18? I'd been under the impression that he wasn't that much younger than Zuko. </p>

<p>Now that you mention it, I took a look at the page about Druk here on the wiki and there is no mention of his age in the article, so I guess his age is unknown, I myself always thought that he was born sometime between A:TLA and LoK, which would make him at least 16 years younger than Zuko. However, he could of course had been born before A:TLA takes place, but that would mean that the Sun Warriors hid even more secrets from the world, or perhaps even they wouldn't have known about Druk's potential existence during the years before A:TLA. </p>

GUYS GUYS PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT SUN WARRIORS WERE GONE FOR SEVERAL THOUSANDS YEARS THEY DEFF HID NOT JUST ONE BUT PROBABLY SEVERAL EGGS IF DRUK WAS THE LAST DRAGON I DONT THINK RAN AND SHAW WOULD'VE WANTED TO GIVE THEIR CHILD AND THE LAST DRAGON TO THE FIRE LORD / I ASSUME THAT HE GOT DRUK WHEN HE WAS ALREADY A FIRE LORD/
