Depends on if its an innie (like a dogs) or more like a human one where it hangs out.

It does bug me when dragons have 6 limbs, though. All megafauna on Earth has 4 limbs. Two legs, two wings, or two legs, two arms. Those are your options!

Dragons have 2/2/2. If it only has two back legs and two wings, it’s a wyvern. I’ve seen those called drakes too, but I’ve also seen two arms two legs called drakes.

Correct. Drakes 4 legs no wings. Wyverns 2 legs 2 wings. Dragons 4 legs 2 wings. Then you got eastern varieties which you can have 4 legs no wings but still fly ie cloud dragons or 2 wings no legs.

Folklore > Tolkien > dungeons and dragons. That's it. Just because fatman grrm wants to make a mythical fire breathing animal "realistic" doesn't mean hes right fucking up the nomenclature
