Or, when Rumle says its "showy", maybe he just means its overtop and unimpressive to him.

As for Lily, there could be a number of reasons why it was natural for her; because it was innate for her father and she inherited that trait, because she was conceived in dragon-form, because she was reacting to be surrounded by magic after many years of living in LWM...etc Well not necessary because there are other ways to become a dragon not just by being born as one or with magical spells and rituals,there is a way of Spritual training and meditation to realease your Sprit totem a symbol of every   ordinary Warrior wich can evean be a animal but rarest totem is of dragon wich only have Warrior Kings, but that chould only be done if you focuse your mystical-spritual power to realease your inner Spirit avatar into fizical plane thus you become a dragon that can evean fight demons but only Warriors with deep respect for Honor and Faith can do this.It has been done in other cartoons that arent owned by Disney like TMNT Enter the Dragons  Part 1 /2 and Legend of Five Dragons this  3 episodes you can watch on youtube to understand of what was i talking about if you want.
