I get the feeling that Inno didn't think this through when she made change to restrict slime transformations to ones you have encountered.
Here is a screenshot of my encyclopedia, on a completely fresh install of the game, with a new character and a completely empty encyclopedia. Also, my character has not even finished the submission quest with Meraxis, so I am stuck in Dominion and, no, I didn't cheat any dragon book or dragon fruits.

I wonder if Inno thought for even a second about the fact that slimes can spawn as pretty much any species OR
Subspecies.
I was bumbling around in Submission trying to find a slime for Claire's quest and the very first slime I encountered was ..... a Ryu-morph slime. Which is a subspecies of Dragon morphs and I was able to transform them to flesh, came back the next day and beat the hell outta them and "presto magico" I had a Dragon Species book.
Armed with said, new found book of dragons, I stumbled into the bat caves and transformed the very first slime I encountered ... into a Dragon.
I may have hit the 'slime lottery jackpot', but it didn't change the fact that I now have a dragon friend hanging out in the bat caves without cheating anything. I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with them though, dragons aren't really my thing.
