The bulk update request #13375 is pending approval.
create implication demon_dragon (323) -> demon (148393)
create implication demon_dragon (323) -> dragon (437335)
Reason: A demon_dragon can be defined as an anthropomorphic dragon with demonic features, so I think this tag should imply the demon and dragon tags.
The main example of this case is satan_(helluva_boss).
The bulk update request #13376 is pending approval.
create alias demon_dragon (323) -> dragon (437335)
Reason: While a lot of hybrid tags are instead aliased to hybrid, I imagine a demon dragon would have high dragon visibility. Demon traits tend to be tails and horns, which dragons also have.
demon is a bit iffy as a species tag, there is some continuous debate of ether invalidating demon or replacing it with a bodyform subtag or theming tag such as demonic..
reason being that many users of the species tag are relying too much on lore as well as being redundant.

Yeah, even looking at the posts under demon dragon the majority of them don't have anything remotely "demonic".

We've got striped horns, multi eyes, or bull horns, which are traits that can easily be attached onto anything.
Considering the wide range of appearances dragons have, what would make a demon dragon look different from a regular dragon? Heck, according to some versions of Christianity, being a dragon is demonic, no exceptions.
There is things tagged demon_dragon that I would tag demon but not dragon.

It was already pointed out that they are dragon tagged demon_dragon without looking like demon.
And they are cases that I would not tag as either demon or dragon.

It seems that for now, people don't work on cleaning this tag.
For me, a demon_dragon should at least look like a dragon, have a spade_tail and looking like they could live in hell.
An alternative name for demon_dragon may be winged_demon.
No. Winged_demon is not 100% the same because demon_dragon has the additional requirement of having a snout, thus not being humanoid_demon.
But not sure we need that much precision. Even Winged_demon is not tagged.

I have started cleaning a bit, but I am stopping here. There is still too much wrong stuff left, especially at the end.

Even that second one, I wouldn't tag demon. A spade_tail doesn't make something a demon, neither does horns (good luck with houndoom and mega_houndoom), and it doesn't look particularly demonic otherwise.
