Where do you draw the line what is a dragon?
species in question:
post #6277886 post #2667459
I've had this conundrum before with my sona tiena_(character), as he's an amalgamation of furred_dragons and aspects that I liked in other animals.
Later I made the character into its own species feather_maned_dragon
Visual similarities between my species and dragons is the tapering tail, genital slit, feet and snout shape. But especially in feral form they resemble canines.
The species name is a play with maned wolves and komodo dragons. But they aren't dragons from mythology similar how komodo dragons aren't either.
Is it valid to tag my species as a furred dragon?
As the creator I have bias when it comes to TWYS, though the use of furred_dragon tag seems rather vague.
I'd like to hear other's opinions.

Edit:
I found out that there was similar topic about Felkins: topic #60957
I'd say that feather_maned_dragon shouldn't imply furred_dragon, but it's subjective whether a post should be marked as one.
