This section discusses biological theories for mythological dragons. It
does not cover modern fictional dragons. As the theories are based on
stories mixed with scientific theory, this section is pseudoscience and is
intended as entertainment only.
This page splits the physiology information based on what general type of
dragon is being described. Many people separate dragons into Eastern and
Western types, but this is a classification based on human culture, not on
the biology of the dragons. Instead, the dragons are split based on their limbs.
Both the number of limbs they have, and what sort (whether they are legs or wings
and what sort of wing).
