Dragon

Large reptile-like animal, mostly capable of flight. Dragons specifically have four legs, and two wings. However, the word "dragon" is used as a generalization of any dragon-like looking creature, including Wyverns, Drakes, and Amphitheres.

"Draconem", or commonly known as "Dragon", is actually the family classification, and they are the mix between Wyverns and Drakes.
