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.

Imao, the photo shown, to be more draconic, it needs the tail to attach completely to the hips like a dinosaur or lizard, and for the wings to have a feathery/batlike quality. 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).

However, the Flight Rising universe is different from my personal dragon opinions, so we have Gaolers and Tundras and Pearlcatchers and Imperials. 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.

Oh, okay! My apologies! I think the wolf-like dragons wouldn't be Mirror-like, despite being pack animals. 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.
