My question about this AU– are these the kinds of dragons who can shapeshift? Because that would be interesting for Nux x Capable.

My stance on the matter is this: if the dragon is old enough, clever enough, or powerful enough, they can use magic to transform themselves into humans if they want to, though doing so makes them vulnerable. 

The dragons that I currently consider being able to do this are Immortan Joe (who does it often), Miss Giddy (because it’s easier to read books with human hands), and the Ace (who doesn’t do it at all, not even Furiosa knows he can), and there’s always the possibility that “human” characters might not be human at all, or that they might have magic of their own unrelated to dragons. 

Nux, Slit, and Morsov are all very young dragons. They’ve been collared, branded, and used as laboring beasts for most of their lives, they don’t even have hoards - Morsov’s hoard of “interesting rocks” doesn’t really count because it’s a small pile of rocks tucked away in a corner, Nux’s fondness of shiny reflective things doesn’t matter because they aren’t allowed to hoard anything anyway, and Slit only wants to hoard things that other people want. It would take a lot of work for Nux to learn to shapeshift, he’d need guidance, a lot of practice, and a lot of patience, but I am welcome to the idea that he might one day be successful.
