A Tumblr thread.

antique-symbolism: "Imagine a dragon at Antiques Roadshow, apprasising its hoard"
bertb0t: "Imagine the dragons hoards monetarily worthless things like newspapers or old bones and the person appraising it getting more and more nervous about telling the dragon their stuff isnt worth anything"
antique-symbolism: "Imagine that dragon knows this and just likes watching the person squirm."
bertb0t: "The dragon actually hoards uncomfortable situations"
iguanamouth: A comic depicting exactly this situation. It shows the following:

Panel 1: A dragon sitting at a desk with a human who's looking at a form. There's a sign above saying "Appraisals".
Panel 2: Close-up of the human. "Well, while you certainly have a lot of items..."
Panel 3: The view shifts to show the dragon's sharp claws in the foreground, with the appraiser looking at them cautiously. "...it's clear, that ...... uh..."
Panel 4: Close-up of the dragon's grinning mouth with long sharp teeth. "...the actual *value* of them... might..."
Panel 5: View back at the human. You can see the dragon dragging its claws over the surface. The human looks visibly nervous. "...um.... not, uh..."
Panel 6: Now showing the dragon's full face. He's grinning and clearly enjoying this situation.
