Reptiles and fish have scales, yes. They're both pretty different types of scales, but sure.

Also, Kingdra and Dragalge are dragon fish, but I get what you mean.

why are dragons usually depicted with fishlike scales? theyre almost always overlapping and plated like a fish, but lizards usually have smaller sidebyside scales that have more in common with tough skin.

why are dinosaurs never depicted having scales at all unless theyre giant platelike ones?

Because historically across all cultures dragons were weird amalgamate animals. For all their reptilian traits, their stances and behaviors and faces were always constructed in a more mammalian way. Eastern dragons are more fishlike, with whiskers and barbs and long slender bodies, but still had that more mammalian face in a lot of cases.

That's just the way dragons used to be.

Personally, I'd think it'd be really cool if we got a good-old fashioned fish-scaled, mammal-faced concoction someday. Dragons used to be so much more than just the regular old winged
fire-breathing reptiles. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, anyway.

Because they're amalgamate creatures. Mammalian faces, reptilian bodies, fishlike scales, typically some sort of membrane wings... basically they're made to seem as monstrous as possible
