image

Amphithere: 0 legs 2 wings, can be feathered

image

Lindwurms: 2 legs, 0 wings, long body

image

Luck dragon: 4 legs, no wings, can fly, long body, furry with dog like face

as a person passionate as fuck about dragons, i stand by this post

please understand

This is why the “dragons” in Skyrim bother me so much.

Don’t classical wyverns also have venomous stings on the ends of their tails?
