Crypto... pseudo-dragons — Description
This are draconian creatures that are not technically dragons... well you'll see waht I'm talking about.

545) Wyvern: This is the most evolutionary likely .. if it wasn't by the sting in the tail, of the winged creatures on this page. The reason is simple; the wyvern has only two legs the forelimbs have evolved into wings much like all other vertebrates that ever got wings. You never know where the hell dragon's wings came from. Wyvers where sometimes symbols of pestilence and plagues, thats what this one was supposed to ... symbolise.

546) Domestic draco: Draco is the name of a genus (real life) of gliding lizards, but I'm using the term to descrive little winged reptiles with an aditional full set of limbs. In this case it is being used as a falconry animal.

547) Savannah draco: A creature the size of a dog, swift both while galloping or when flying. However, being a frail creature and not a fierce fighter either it needs another means of defence, thats why it has developed a sulfuric fluid in its blood that burst into flames when its blood is spilled. So it's a bad idea to try bitting them.

548) Lindwurm: A winged serpent that has became flightless, technicallt a mexican mole lizard could evolve into something like this, but I made something of aerian ancestry instead of subterranean. I though that flying is a god reason to have developed forelimbs and high metabolism.

549) Frost draco: Mnnn I don't know, this should be pretty self-explanatory, probably it would be like a miniature version of an ice dragon or maybe just like the savannah draco but with liquid hydrogen insted of sulfure. This one is much smaller though, something like a cat.

550) Skin hydra: There are things that are far more unlikely in mytholgy than the hydran being able to grow its head up again after being hacked or even multiply the number of heads growing. For example, axolotls can grow back limbs and organs, and its not unheard of some growing multiple legs on a same wound. However, the whole thing of a species having multiple heads as a normal feature... I don't know. Why not using the natural hability of snakes of moulting in a slightly different way?
This giant snake I made breeds by having many smaller snakes hatching out of its older body-skin. I know its weird, but it'll be fun, even slashing the skin of an old specimen could cause large snakes comming out of the wound and not only the choping of the head. The process can even work with "newborn" ... "heads"

551) Strider lindwurm: This creature is some sort of linderwurm but with only the back limbs instead of the forelimbs. It is much like ane evolved form of some dinosaurs like Mononykus or like a wingless wybern.

552) Ziliant: Some kind of winged wurm actaully, I think it doesn't have any legs, but ziliant souded way cooler, I we already have penty of wurms... ok who cares about classifications, these animals are not even real! ... ok, sorry If I hurted your feelings with that. I don't even think it might be able to fly, it looks to heavy and those wings seem vestigial.

553) Fananim pitoloha: ... Man, I cannot work if I don't have the sources I lend to people. If I'm not wrong the origin of this creature was supposed to be that when an important person died in some trive in Madagascar they squished it from head to feet till some ftid liquid came out of his feet, they poured that liquid into little glasses and in some time a little worm (only one?) would star growing in them, they would feed that creature untill it would become a giant policephalic serpent surrouning and protecting the whole village.
