I dont think DRagons are Reptiles, But more like big horned scaled cats with wings.

I know I'm not related to cats at all! :P
Since dragons are technically mythological creatures, it's hard to say whether they fall under a certain species of animal. If they would be cats, they would be classified as mammals. Mammals don't do eggs.
That is, we're talking about the stereotypical old-school dragons (such as Western dragons). These could be more classified as reptiles.
To classify species (such as a Western Dragon), you would have to follow classification guidelines.
I could also say, since Western Dragons have scales, they possibly shed. They lay eggs, shed, and all kinds of other features which could make them fall under the lizard+snake family.
Interesting article here: https://www.learner.org/courses/essential/life/session6/closer1.html

Of course, dragons (e.g. Western Dragons) could and probably should have their own classification family, but there are various reptiles out there with other cool traits. Think of the gliding reptile. Basically a winged reptile. Or the frilled reptile, or the Thorny Devil, a creature that can shoot blood from its eyes to scare off predators.
I mean, these are basically already living dragons XD

Sorry, I just wanted to say I think dragons would moreso fall under reptiles than felines :P
But if we're talking about not Western or Eastern dragons, but Fantasy dragons (it's an odd name for a group, considering dragons are fantasy, but roll with me here) then you could have an infinite amount of classification possibilities.

I have managed to create an evolutionary time-line which is plausible which according to the muscle anatomy is similar to cats, there is no shedding but a very slow process of replacing scales that simply fall. I think they would lay eggs however.
I somewhat based my self on the book "A handy guide to dragons" which I own a hebrew copy of.

 Well, I have never personally tried reaching out like this so bear with me... I'm more accustomed to seclusion than anything. I am Nightmare Zephyris. I'm a full-blooded Dragon of ancient origin, or so my memory serves. I was once a corrupt creature of darkness, but... I also share a soul with the very person who joined this place. I call her Kaida, and she herself is a furrie somewhat. She changed my life after being dormant so long, and now I protect her. So now I'm here, and no one else knows I exist, save for her mate. I'm not sure what I'm here for, exactly, but perhaps some company would be a good start? Forgive me if I come across cold, but as I said I don't surface often. I've been told my people skills need adjusting.

Oh. Right... I'm sorry. I guess this wasn't the place, but... I wasn't trying to role-play so much as introduce myself. I've been described as part of multiple personality/dissociative personality disorder. I know it may not have actually happened our sound sane at all, but... I honestly believe it. I've tried convincing myself otherwise, but I can't, so I just don't surface long enough to socialize under normal circumstances. I suppose I should've explained that, but like I said, my people skills are little to none. I apologize again, I probably just barged in on you lot, but I was convinced to at least try to talk to people. I'll take my leave, though. Maybe RP would be the best place for this.

Nah, you see this was a good message and I understood it. I had a hard time understanding what is what in this forum on the beginning. Just talk to people and you will figure it out before you know it!

Ah, ok... I really don't know where to begin with all of this, but I shall take your advice to heart. It's just a bit overwhelming at first, I suppose.

I have many fursonas. Too many. But one of them happens to be an ice dragon/eastern dragon hybrid called Karasu Fateseeker who will be showing her face around here once more soon.

Well thank you ^u^
Tell you the truth I think that is the first time someone has asked to hear about my fursona, normally I just talk about it whether they want to hear or not, I think this is why I have a hard time making friends lol
Anyways she is a dragon (obviously), Kon is my mane (that pun tho) fursona who lives in the mountains on her own terrorizing the poor village people that live below her. However she is a magical dragon capable of many magical feats based upon books of magic she collects, she most enjoys shape shifting and making herself larger than normal.


What about yours, they look so cute, what are they all about? :)

You're welcome ;D
Ahw, that sounds very sad XD
Oh, a she! Cool :D I thought it was a male or ungendered dragon ^^;  So she's somewhat of a pesterer? :P

Cute .3.
Thanks >3>
And I've actually be slowly writing up a backstory on her, thought it was time by now, having her had 5 years xD So if you want some more specific details on her, I would suggest you check that out ;P
Ventus is a fur dragon (Draconis Furrere) and her abilities is to make anything she creates come to life (so drawing things and such). It's a power I wish I had in real life, heh.
