I would have posted this on the google suggestion page but I cant find it SO HERE IT GOES.
So Notch is planning to have dragons. I'm not sure if hes mentioned lairs but that would be great. A cave in the side of a mountain or whatever, with some skeletons/skulls by the entrance.
Imagine going into a cave and seeing the dragon walking/stomping around. Maybe the dragon can have AI/behaviour where it can walk out of the cave and do flying like any normal dragon but if you come near its lair it'll make its way back.
Here is where the idea splits but a common thing is kept: Have a chest with some really awesome treasure in it. Like a diamond sword/armor pieces. The splitting occurs when you ask HOW you'd get them. I was thinking have it so you can rush in, grab the **** and get out (Maybe have the dragon notice/sense this and follow you back to your house?) OR have the treasure locked away and it unlocks when the dragon is slain.
Dragons alone would be awesome. Lets make them more awesome.
In the distant future, there will be more variation such as different terrain types (desert! swamp! snow!) and settlements (goblin village! abandoned stone tower! dragon lair!)

Instead of having the dragon randomly wander around, and possibly destroy you just as those sneaky creepers do, it would seem easiest to just have them spawn in "Lairs" of sorts. The image in my head, if you can picture this, is a mighty dragon that is pretty big, in a big cavernous room sitting on a platform. Possibly Lava surrounding the platform it's on (Of course, make it fireproof, or something), and have the platform be made of Obsidian. So now, in your head you have a mighty dragon sitting on a large Obsidian platform with Lava below, looking huge and menacing, just waiting to devour you.
Yeah, it seemed much more epic in my head...
(Forgive me, I was too lazy to re-type all of this from another "Dragon" discussion forum. So I copy and pasted the Lair part.)

It's probably already going to be implemented.
It's Extvia!
