Gods forgive if the dragon equivalent to Pinkie Pie decided to train Jake Long in how to Dragon.

As every protagonist ever has learned, you never taunt Murphy. Murphy takes "what's the worst that could happen" and "how bad could it be" as a challenge.

I'm not sure even the Endbringers could survive a direct attack by the fuzzy little space battleship.
Almost by definition, if Taylor received any, Ryoko would be down that many. The three gems are extremely unique and not replicable. Ryoko can make fake ones to sort-of re-empower herself, so an empowered Taylor might get fakes, but how powerful they'd be is author fiat to determine. (Ryoko never, ever mastered the full power of all three. And the one time on-screen we see their true owner reclaim them, the multiverse is destroyed and remade over the course of one epic scene. And even with that spoiler, I'm not telling even half of it. ...maybe 1/3 of it.)
I actually have a concept for a crossover with this where (spoiler for the crossover) Washu appears in flashbacks dressed in her gangster outfit, complete with fedora, to deliberately confuse readers into expecting Contessa. But while I know the underlying change, I would need to more develop Eric's character and come up with actual plot beyond the premise to actually do much with it.
I suppose the non-spoiler "what-if" of it is, "What if Shielder got his powers from a vial provided by a mysterious woman in a fedora?"
There's the question of *what* people think he's mocking. Some people thought he was portraying GOP supporters so inaccurately that he's obviously a parody of left-wing cluelessness about the GOP. That would be pro-GOP in a sense (he's showing how clueless the left is) but not because they think the lampoons are real.
Coyote and Murphy: Is that an invitation? Because even if it's not, we'll treat it like one.

I thought Coyote's furst* name was Murphy.
*Started as a typo, but I kept it anyway.
Nope.
Coyote is a Native American trickster spirit.
Obviously, he and Murphy get along like a house on fire.

There are, perhaps, a double handful of dragons of each major grouping (metallic, chromatic, gem) left in the multiverse. Lung have their own issues, most have retreated to the outer planes millenia ago.
They are scattered to backwater prime material planes, like Earth Bet. Nearly half the remaining chromatics wound up here; 2 great wyrm+ reds, a great wyrm green, an old black, a mature blue, a young adult red, and a juvenile white. The two GW+ reds are well known in folklore and mythology - Typhon and Fafnir. Both wanted nothing to do with the internal strife between dragons, told Tiamat to F*** Off and made it stick, then made their way to Earth Bet(d) during the Age of Legends, and ran into some trouble. One got sealed in a volcano, the other cursed to guard a treasure. Note that they've told Bahamut the exact same thing as well.
The GW Green isn't known, but she is the reason that a certain City of Gold has never been found. The Black is the main reason three countries in SE Asia are having an ongoing dispute over a series of Islands and Swamps along the Indian Ocean (for the last 400 years or so). The Juvenile White we all know and love is, of course, Hunts-The-Ice. The YA Red is in a monastery in the Himalayas, and has been raised by Buddhist monks. The Blue is a warlord in Africa, though he does little more than defend his territory and protect the labor force of his diamond mines, which earns him a tidy sum of money.
Likewise, about a third of the metallics wound up on Earth Bet(d) as well; Kurya, Sonngrad, and Lyndraen (Crystrani's mother). Naichi and Crystrani are natives to Earth Bet(d). The rest are scattered far and wide across the multivverse.
The rest have scattered where they will.

Yes, I know, but I imagine he took the name Murphy after "Murphy's Law" became a thing.

Why would an old sitcom have made him change his name?

He's a big fan?
You're thinking Murphy Brown.
Unless there was also a sitcom named Murphy's Law.
Canon reason is because she's too young. Never given a specific age when she'll be able to handle the full output of all three gems, but age is the canon reason she can't do so at the moment.
Uh, wasn't Typhon a firebreathing giant in mythology? More specifically a monstrous Titan?

Typhon was described as having 100 Dragon's Heads. Fafnir was described as being killed. I suspect this can be taken to be the case of a couple of Powerful Red Dragons that are Damn Good at spreading misleading information and faking their own deaths to keep those pesky heroes from bothering them every other decade or so......

IF the DragonLance Realm is part of you mythos, it is shown that an Egg Laying Dragon can extrude a massive number of eggs, though a lot do not go to term. With the Help of a couple of innovative Tinkers on Earth Bet and the use of industrial incubators, a larger percentage of a clutch of eggs could come to term.

Complete with property damage and screaming civilians.
So, I wonder if Lisa's fluffy tails also come with a bonus for learning Japanese?
Because if so, I predict that when 2019 rolls around, she's going to join a group of Vtubers called Hololive, under the alias of Shirakami Fubuki.
I mean, Fubuki is also known as the queen of shitposting. I feel like that would fit Lisa to a T.

Pathfinder gives magical abilities to kitsune for extra fox tails.
I wonder if Lisa gets those.

I only have one thing to say on the matter:
Fluffffffy!!!
Fluffffffy!!!
In all seriousness, I'm still thinking about it. I'm thinking that a number of minor abilities that can be creatively leveraged would be something right up Lisa's alley. Minor Illusion, Audible Glamour, Invisibility, Silence, Spider Climb... Stuff like that. Along with a few other things that may (or may not) be obvious.

Legends about kitsune make their tails far more magical than PF gives them credit for, to the point where nine tails = bona fide god. And not just a minor kami, either, but a seriously big deal. Like, city-leveling big deal. Maybe give her two levels' worth of sorcerer per tail? So one tail is the equivalent of a 2nd level sorcerer, two tails is for 4th, three tails is for 6th, etc. I'd say an 18th level sorcerer when a kitsune reaches nine tails is pretty godlike, all things considered.
