      @Deathcoldan The intelligence of an ancient white dragon in the 5e Monster Manual is 10, and an adult white has 8 int. 10-11 is said to be average human intelligence, which bears out in the humanoid stat blocks at the back of the MM. So any "high school graduate" equivalent is probably of equal or greater intelligence than that dragon with over a thousand years of experience. That said, there are 2 stat blocks for humanoids in the MM with lower intelligence than the ancient white dragon: the berserker, coming in at 9 int, and the tribal warrior, coming in at 8.

      I remember a campaign were a White Dragon was under a curse that kept her polymorphed as a young girl.
      An attempt to introduce her to art led her to swiping all the glitter she could find and later covering her sleeping quarters with it.
      Her attempts to lie her way out of it reminded me of a Monty Python sketch.

The way I explained it while keeping it fair and balanced. The obsidian dragon Raylor was banished by the rest of the gem dragons. And it wasn't over a difference in opinion. He goofed and as a punishment he was forced to relieve his life from an egg. So, all of his stats are that of a young copper dragon with his memories intact. He can only be used once per day for twenty minutes, because he's a baby and not an assassin like he once was. I wasn't expecting the lucky roll, but its been fun and interesting all the same.

Which is why I added the restrictions, because he is not a true blue familiar. He's toying with my husbands character. So, the spell didn't truly work, but he is leading him on. It was the most likely scenario since he is very intelligent. They are always verbally sparring, and there are times when I purposely flub a roll since I play the dragon. To signify that he is either bored, sleeping, or just wants to see what happens from the sidelines. Yeah its a crappy thing to do to a first time player, but I wasn't prepared for what might happen. So I tried to make the best out of an unknown factor. And it's very rare for an intelligent race to be tethered to another, but this dragon likes screwing with people.

      @@MrSylvandragon Maybe you should take another look. The ancient white dragon has the highest int of any white dragon: 10. The stat blocks in the back of the monster manual assign commoners the same intelligence. There are only two stat blocks in that section with lower int: berserkers at 9, and tribal warriors at 8. Literally everything else is 10+.
      However, that said, even baby whites have higher intelligence than your typical beasts, so I think you could easily get away with giving them the same kind of cunning as a wolf or some kind of cat.

    This gave me an idea for a possible bit of backstory for a setting.
    One race or a tribe lived in a secluded land in the northern parts of the world. At some point in their history they came into contact with white dragons and somehow learned to hunt them for food. As they slowly killed of the dragons in their homeland some of them started moving north and eventually crossed a frozen landbridge to another continent. Due to their reputation as dragonslayers and the fact that they came from seemingly uninhabitable north the locals initially treated them with fearful respect. That allowed the newcomers to establish themselves in the tundra and cold forests of the new land. When the white dragons became scarce and the other variations prooved to be a much more difficult prey, newcomers moved to more traditional game and started to migrate south in search of more fertile lands. This was the beginning of decades (or perhaps even centuries) long conflict with the continent's original inhabitants.
