My signature is rather loopy and elegant... I don't see a way to replicate this in text form. Do italics work? Yes, they do

A sentient lifeform wouldn't generally give up his humanoid appearance for that of a beast's. There could be misunderstandings and such a mutation would probably require a level of mutation that the Forerunners didn't have.Two problems with what you just said.
I) I'm pretty sure if Prometheans are fully willing and ready to allow themselves to be digitalized to be loyal to the Didact, they would allow themselves to be mutated to such a form if the Didact deemed it necessary. Hell, their willingness doesn't matter, the Didact could easily force it on a contingent of Prometheans without their consent.
II) Think about how accomplished the Forerunners were. They built giant kill everything rings, suits that ensured they would never die of old age and a weapon that digitalized life and turns it into software. If they wanted to, they could make dragon mutation possible.The misunderstandings were my interpretation of the forms being Pre-War Origins since you did suggest a Lifeworker Form. Although it would make sense with the way dragons are spread across the Earth and the Librarian did love our world, I thought the rest of Forerunner Society would look upon them oddly or even consider them different.
Maybe a Dragon Mutation could be within their grasp but why would there be a dragon mutation? What's the practicality of it? The Composer was meant to make Forerunners immortal, the Rings were to save the Galaxy, Forerunner Armor was (of course) designed to protect its user... the Didact's newer form was meant to immunize himself against the Flood but he did become immune to the Composer.
A form of oppression to devolved humans?
I'd like to point out that I don't support the idea of Dragons in a Halo game. I'm just saying it would've been better than the steaming sack of no character development and unoriginality that 343i gave us.
