    afaik Dragons have no canon with any kind of historical basis but a lot of fantasy tends to gravitate to:

    • 4 legs/arms and any number of wings = dragon
    • 4 limbs 2 of which are wings = wyvern
    • 4 limbs none of which are wings = drake

    All are technically types of dragon though drakes are usually depicted as purely bestial.

      Thanks! For some reason, I’ve never really considered what I would call a “wingless dragon.”
