While it's true most Dragons are 
cruel, the Shivan Dragon seems to 
take particular glee in the misery of 
others, often tormenting its victims 
much like a cat plays with a mouse 
before delivering the final blow.

There are some shareware out there which allow you to do that.  I never
tried them so I don't really know how the quality is.  You can go to web
pages such as http://www.shareware.com and do a search on "ascii-art."
