In the Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid manga it is stated by Tooru that eating
her tail cures all ailments, but I have a very hard time believing that is all
it does. In the anime Tooru sometimes thinks about the possibility that
Kobayashi will eventually die despite the fact that Tooru has implied in the
manga that she has access to some kind of fruit that makes humans immortal.
Fafnir also told Shouta in chapter 14 of the Lucoa spinoff manga that bathing
in his blood would make Shouta immortal.

I'm asking hoping that someone with a ton of knowledge about dragon mythology
could point me to a reference or something regarding the effects of eating
part of a dragon. I've read pretty much everything related to the series
except some of the Elma manga. I can't find one instance where the tail thing
is explained aside from the one chapter where Tooru says it cures illness. I'm
pretty sure Fafnir was an old European myth in real life, and maybe some of
the other dragons are too. It might be possible to figure out the writer's
intent if one knows the material that inspired some of the characters.
