are dragon reptiles or ampidianms? how do they breath fire? and the ones that don't how do they breath water or smoke or mist? why do some have feathers (jealous much drakes adn kroa?) and some don't? why do some have furs? why do some have fins? why do some have flippers? why do some have limbs and some don't? tell me what you think and be as honest as possible. don't be too harsh though.

no, why am I supposed to be jealous?? cause out of everything you just utterly made my day :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:


1) no one can answer that question without being proven wrong. (AKA: unfair question)

2)two pairs of lungs, one that contains oxygen and another that (turns in other wards) oxygen Into a flammable gas. Dragon breaths out the gas and uses a spark patch to light it up.

3) If a dragon could breath anything but a fire it would be a mist( or smoke) like substance in a way that the others could talk to you about.
4) Dragons DO NOT have FEATHERS ( well not that I know of lol)
5) never really heard about a furry dragon lol
6) cause they are water dragons (means their natural habitat is near land and yet they could survive under water.
7) /\
o []
8) different breads of dragons.
Kk there you go :)

The main problem is every culture around the world has different views on what a "Dragon" is. One theory (that I feel may be close to right) is that the image of a dragon is from "lost memories" of creatures we fear or respect. Dragons are a hodge moge of snakes, hawks and large cats in many cases. The same with a number of other creatures of myth may have come from mistaken put together bones.

Again you are here to take out what I said and put on websites to prove me wrong, YOU ARE EVIL lol

you should note that vamp's idea on dragons and my idea are completely the oposite (so yes we might be fighting on your topic) (last time we fought I won and then I felt sorry and made it to where vamp wins) lol.

I'm going to have to agree with my long lost twin on this one. His theories are very similar, if not exact to mine.

vamps make some good points, her answers make the most sense to me. the mayan/azects's dragon had feathers, some ones in europe and other places had fins, and others had no limbs at all.
