&gt; Well, as you yourself have said, you have to replace the mechanisms
&gt; which are normally served by area resets, admin intervention, or 
hard-coded
&gt; quests.  I'm curious as to how possible and then what the general
&gt; mechanics are for common examples such as:
&gt;
&gt; * Dragon arrives, takes up residence in nearby mountain.  Begins 
terrorizing
&gt; local town.  Heros arrive to take on the dragon..

A dragon is defined as a creature that eats large amount of meat, 
prefers mountain habitat, lairs in caves, defends his territory, and 
is fairly aggressive; plus he likes gold. Oh yeah, and he can fly. 
Plus you toss on the usual bunch of stats and stuff. But the important 
part is defining those characteristics: what does he eat? Where does 
he live? What does he like and dislike?

Given a spawn system, doesn't matter what it is, you'll get a dragon.
