I studied a lot of mythology in college and interestingly enough we generally used dragon as a blanket term, whereas the stuff in this chart it more specific. Dragon is to lizard as lyndwyrm is to bearded dragon. Same thing, just more specific

Dragon is the family. They are all dragons. A wyvern is a kind of dragon, a lindwyrm is a kind of dragon, a hydra is a kind of dragon. It is all dragons, and I will die on this hill! Or in this lair, possibly.

Big Fan of lizard dragon and 3 headed dragon, but 2 legged dragon is always welcome

In the book I'm writing, Fractal, I have a wyvern character named Jame (it/its) and I went big into the silly danger bird route over the scaly lizard you usually see, kinda like how we realized with dinosaurs. It's all feathery and has claws on the highpoint of the wings that it uses like fingers

All members of the sauropsida taxonomic tree are Dragons for my stuff

In that case...

Behold: A dragon.

Reminder that this is also a dragon

seidmadr.bsky.social•125 days ago

Yeah, that's the Lung dragon.

Wait this makes sense? Still gonna call them dragons.

You would not believe how many very very heated arguments I’ve had over this. This chart is spot on.

Shen Long, Ying Long, Basilisk? Usually people just use 'Dragon' as the overall segment of the evolutionary tree that encompasses hot-blooded reptiles.
