>>42521299Note that the term "dragon" has been applied to a wide variety of mythical and even factual creatures, with the most common thread among them being "big reptile". Even that's not strictly necessary, though, as seen in the wildly chimaeric depictions that were more common in the Middle Ages. And to this very day, Eastern depictions of dragons are still very popular, very chimaeric in nature, and very, very different from their Western counterparts.
As for the specifics seen in the image:

>TropiusAre you fucking serious. It's a big reptile with wings.
>ScraftyIt's a lizard with a flap of loose skin on its neck. Ever heard of a bearded dragon?
>CrawdauntIIRC the Japanese word for lobster directly translates to "dragon shrimp".
>WhiscashI'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure that someone linked to a relevant Eastern myth last time we had this thread.
