Suggestions

*INHALES* I digress with all of the opinions above. It looks pretty draconic, in my opinion. But its a few tweaks it'd be more draconic.

Once that's done, I think the photo given by Corviknight would be a good dragon! It's my arrogant opinion that dragons don't have fur, but protofeathers. However, for Flight Rising, I am willing to bend my opinions. Basically, the qualifications for "dragon" are [i]very[/i] vague and [i]very[/i] broad, so one person's dragon may be another's not-dragon. I personally think feathers and scales are best for dragons (due to SCIENTIFIC ACCURACY).

So, in this universe, a dragon can be partially/fully furry. This, in my opinion, allows for the image by Corviknight to be qualified as a dragon and not a flying wolf. Have you seen a wolf with that long of a neck? Pete's Dragon (2016) also agrees with that idea, due to Elliot in that move being furry. I digress with the idea of dragons having fur, but I am willing to understand the worldbuilding of Flight Rising to come up with draconic ideas.

I'd be alright with more mammalian dragons, but an issue I have with a lot of the "X-Mammal Dragon" suggestions is they usually just end up being the animal plus wings, which does not a dragon make. While they are mythical creatures, dragon mythology originates with reptiles and then evolved from there, so if you want a mammalian dragon you do need to alter the base mammal a bit to still make it read as dragon. There's a reason no one ever calls a Pegasus a "Horse Dragon."

I like furry dragons... the presence of fur and feathers doesn't make an animal not a dragon. As long as it wasn't "animal+wings" I'm happy.

I wasn't the person who posted my image, but I still do have concerns concerning the behavior of the "wolf dragons", given that we already have a specie that behaves like wolves. That's where my concern is.

Mirrors are generally more aggressive than wolves, and they're more migratory and predatory as well. I think if the wolf dragons were more antisocial/introverted pack hunters rather than the territorial beans, it might work! We already have dragons that are pretty similar, so I believe it depends on the execution. This reminds me of the Zburator myth~

Some dragon breeds with more mammalian traits would be cool, but I really don't want them to be that really generic, uninspired x animal but with wings type of creaure.

I don't think that winged wolf pic someone posted earlier in the thread would fit as a dragon breed, but it would work well as a wolf version of a Hainu familiar.

I'm cool with mammalian dragons.

I'd prefer if they steered clear of the 'strap wings and horns to [animal]' method, though.

buddy just put a wolf cape and a wooly coat/tail on a mirror [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58147697] [img]https://flightrising.com/rendern/350/581477/58147697_350.png[/img] [/url] BOOM there you fricking go
