Fields of Mistria players want to ‘fuck the dragon’

Fields of Mistria, a new farming sim and RPG inspired by the Harvest Moon series and Stardew Valley, contains its fair share of charms. Its world has blossoming pink and purple flowers, a witchy bathhouse decorated with crystals, and a lively cast of characters ready to take you in and help your character get settled. Among the NPCs, one in particular has caught the eye of players. It’s a dragon named Caldarus — and, well, now players want to fuck him. Similar to Stardew Valley, Fields of Mistria has a romance system where you can get to know and date certain NPCs. Most of the characters you can date are just regular old humans like Reina, the bubbly town cook, or March, the moody blacksmith. However, as it turns out, there is at least one offbeat option in the dating pool in Mistria. It’s Caldarus, the spirit of a dragon who inhabits a dragon statue on your farm. You meet him early on in the game, after he appears to you in a dream and asks you to restore Mistria. While Caldarus might seem ethereal in nature — so far, players can only interact with him via his statue — he’s perfectly datable. We know this because just like any other romanceable NPC, he has a little heart next to his name that indicates his eligibility as a bachelor. In response to this, people have been losing their minds over the ability to date and possibly fuck the dragon. One person on the Fields of Mistria subreddit said, “When can I fuck the dragon? It doesn’t matter if it’s a girl or a boy, I need to copy my boy donkey from Shrek.” Mods have since deleted the post, but its link lives on with more than 190 upvotes. Similarly, on TikTok, fans have also been sharing videos questioning the fuckability of the dragon and, in some cases, thirsting over it — like the person in the video below, who says they’re in love with Caldarus.

The person below shared a video about how they affirm him each and every day.

Fields of Mistria is currently in early access, and players can only progress the romance options to four of a planned 10 hearts. The developers said on the Fields of Mistria Steam page that they plan to keep the game in early access and release the full 1.0 game in about a year. In the meantime, developer NPC Studio will continue to release content updates for the game. Fields of Mistria’s first major update will be released sometime in the fourth quarter of 2024, and the developer roadmap says that it will add “6 Heart events” for the datable NPCs. This should allow players to see new interactions with the datable characters, but will likely not show the conclusion to any of the relationships, since the game’s relationship menu shows a maximum of 10 hearts. As a result, we don’t yet know exactly where those relationships will take players. Polygon reached out to Fields of Mistria creator NPC Studio to ask further questions about the romance options with Caldarus. The studio did not reply for comment, but we will update this article if we hear back. So if you’re one of those players dead-set on fucking the dragon, well, you’ll just have to wait until the developers update the game to see if it’s possible.
