Arguments for why your should base your reptilian dragons off of crocodilians rather than lizards:
Look at that armored hide. IRL you’d have trouble putting a spear through that, no wonder the magic ones need diety-blessed swords and sige weapons to manage them.
Hork down obscene amounts of meat, then nap for over half a year.
TEEF
Look at those eyes, those eyes are totally deciding whether you’re worth the effort of consuming. So Draconic.
Comes in magical white morph IRL already, and regular colors are Baller too.
Is this animal somehow not cool and terrifying enough for you already? Go look up crocodile ancestors and prepare to shit yourself, pathetic hairless beach ape.
Many crocodilians already dig burrows and take over caves near water. Would totally move into Erebor if given half a chance.
Everyone will adore these cuddly plush stuffed dragons that sit perfectly well-behaved on your shoulder. Pattern includes options of a mane, wings and or spikes to add to your basic dragon if you choose. Simplicity sewing pattern.
Unlike Lucifer, some angels never fell from heaven willingly – they were pushed.
Baring no sin, these betrayed angels would remain on Earth instead of Hell, becoming dragons; halos broken into horns, feathers charred to scales, and heavenly light breathed out as desperate fire.
This is why stories often depict dragons capturing princesses and hoarding treasure.
Dragons believe that if they act as guardian angels by “protecting” the princesses they capture, and “removing” humanity’s cardinal sin of greed by stealing treasure, then they would become angels again.
