"One of Egon's distant Colonial ancestors, Zedekiah Spengler, originally summoned the dragon," Ray says. "He was trying to make it rain, but he got a water spirit instead, in the form of a dragon. It decided Zedekiah was its father, so he kept it around until it started stealing the neighbors' pigs and goats. Then he put it back to sleep in the well on his farm, but it woke up a year and a half ago when we passed through town."
"We figure it must've heard Egon's voice and thought it was Zedekiah's," says Winston. "Anyway, it was bigger when we found it- a lot bigger. It started trying to bring Egon cars instead of pigs."
"And boats. Remember the ferryboat?"
"Don't remind me," says Ray. "We wound up having to lead it back to Nassburg with Ecto-2 and put it back to sleep in the well there. And even then Egon wasn't all that happy about it."
"He woke it up on purpose a while ago, though," says Peter. "Last June. Said he needed it for something in the other Ray's world. He seemed real satisfied when he came home with it, and it was a heck of a lot tamer, but you can't keep a dragon that size in the city, so he brought it back to Nassburg and got it into the well again. It's been sleeping ever since."
