DGS, three and a half, is obsessed with killing people. He is not that interested in guns but loves knights and dragons. He went through a phase where he was always holding a plastic knight's sword or Viking axe at somebodies neck (often mine) while telling them that he was killing them. This has passed, but as I have mentioned on other posts. when we walked up Dragon's Hill at Christmas he told me he had seen a dragon on the hill and that it ate mummies and daddies. When half joking, I said what will you do if the Dragon eats your Mummy and Daddy he said quite cheerfully that DH and I could be his new Mummy and Daddy!
It was a bit disconcerting. He comes from a happy home with gentle parents who are devoted to him and his sister and both his father and grandfather are gentle non-violent men. Mind you he also likes playing football, which also worries his father and grandfather, neither of whom have ever willingly kicked a ball or shown anything but revulsion at the thought of having to watch a game!
