gollark: I made it replace lowercase only.
gollark: ```Brute Dragons are among the larger Comrade breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of Comrade exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in Comrades is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of Comrades grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, Comrades and humans coexist peacefully.```
gollark: v0, which just replaces dragon with Comrade, is a great success.
gollark: Okay, the replacing thing is kind of hard.
gollark: I'll just make a userscript for it now.
