At irregular intervals, if you hang around long enough, like 10 minutes or so, you should see at least one fiery breath. There used to be a number you could send an SMS to, 7168 I believe it was, with text SMOK, but these days the reply is an error from the service. Supposedly the dragon stopped responding to messages around 2016. Still, I tried it and got an error, but the dragon did breathe fire soon after. Coincidence perhaps but still... ;)
