 Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon
comment
Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon is a 1999 children's picture book written by Jules Bass and illustrated by Debbie Harter.In the land of Nogard, all the dragons enjoy raiding castles and feasting on knights and princesses. All of them, that is, except Herb, who prefers tending his vegetable garden and coming up with new recipes. When a dragon hunt is announced and Herb is the only one who doesn't know about it, he is captured and sentenced to death. Can he find a way to keep himself olive, or will he be dead meat?

Hero with Bad Publicity: Herb is believed to be just another vicious man-eating dragon by the people of Nogard, and is nearly beheaded until Nicole speaks up in his defense.

Honor Before Reason: Herb refuses to eat meat under any circumstances, even when he's been imprisoned and Meathook offers to break him out on the condition that he eats a leg of wild boar.

Long Neck: No real attention is called to it, but all the dragons in this book have comically long necks.

Heel–Face Turn: When given an offer by the king to keep their heads in exchange for not eating people, Meathook and the other meat-eating dragons decide to take it, and live peacefully in Nogard from then on.

comment
Make an Example of Them: Tired of the dragons eating his people and raiding his castles, the king of Nogard sends his knights out on a dragon hunt to capture them alive and publicly execute them in the courtyard of Castle Dark. Meathook and his friends hide from them, but Herb isn't told about the plan and is the only dragon to get captured. He's almost executed until a little girl pleads for his life.

comment
Delightful Dragon: Herb is a vegetarian dragon who wouldn't hurt a fly, and loves nothing more than to tend his vegetable patch. Unfortunately, this also makes him easy prey for knights on a dragon hunt.

Would Hit a Girl: When describing how Meathook enjoys raiding Nogard, the narration notes that he particularly enjoys "the sweet taste of royal princesses."

Vegetarian Carnivore: It is made perfectly clear that Herb could eat meat if he wanted to, but he doesn't, due to his personal principles.
