it's kind of weird how eastern dragons get called dragons in the western world considering how... very, very different they are from western dragons
@Felthry I think about that too.
@Felthry It's a bit working towards a conclusion isn't it?
IIRC the dog-shaped branch then splits into "actually dog-shaped" and "bear-shaped".
then again, considering biologists classified literally everything in the order carnivora into either "dog-shaped" or "cat-shaped" maybe that's not so weird
