I mentioned that the rumors of dragons didn't include type, age, or gender. So for all they know, it could just turn out to be three young chromatic dragons looking for some adventure to take the bordom off their minds until they're old enough to develop their own lairs and hoards of treasure.

Everyone paused at the table, thinking...

Suddenly it hit me: "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER DRAGON ADVENTURING PARTY GO!!"
-and then my players vowed to kill me if I dare introduce a dragon version of the CMC into the campaign because they do not want that kind of 'help' fighting the army. Maybe it's for the best, I think the little dragons would end up stealing the show with that.
This speaks a lot about both your campaign and your players that they both know and dread the CMCs. Tell me, have you introduced any other pony-ish NPCs?
