    that body plan tho.

    i like the uh, i dont know a proper term but the way draggo's bodymass is sort of stretched on the vertical axis, which is exaggerated with what looks like a super prominent keelbone protuding ventrally (i think thats the word?). the musculature on the thighs as well looks (to me) like their shape is stressed along the vertical too. i would think that maybe the feet (particularly the metatarsal/tarsal/toes) would need to be longer for ground mobility, but thinking about it a bit maybe bigger feet/toes without readjusting the whole if the legs arrangement might royally fuck its leverage for jumping into takeoff

    holy fuck i wrote this. i am not an anatomist whats my fucking deeeeal

    I would tend to agree. It's neat seeing a dragon with appropriately huge pectoral muscles attached to a keel bone to power it's flight.

    Regarding ground mobility. I'd imagen it would crawl around on wings and feet. Much like a bat would.

    That's correct, yes.
