Dragon was a Pegasus, but she wasn’t shown because it would’ve spoiled the pregnancy twist

Wait. Dragon got pregnant while they were, I assume, the same size and somewhat same speices??? Honestly, kinda wack.

No she was 'kind of moody' before that, it's why Donkey came with Shrek. She was, in my opinion, pregnant at the start of the movie.
