Makes you wonder what the original Knight's Twelve and King Thordan's powers were like after they ate Ratatoskr's eye. Especially Haldrith, since he not only partook of her eyes as well, but also had fused himself with one of Nidhogg's afterwords.
You dont need to consume a dragon to become dragoon. The dragons knew how to share their magic and the dragoon combat style isnt just suited to fight a dragon but also to fight from a dragon's back as estinien proved numerous times.
