Description
Dragons are a very diverse group in terms of morphology. These dragons live presumably at the moderate pole. And how did these dragons start to survive? It would be logical to assume the presence of fur in them, but I have my own version, but for starters we refuse all non-flying and aquatic dragons, as well as underground, because they retain heat differently (water and at work). flight - due to compaction of subcutaneous fat, digging - due to the thermal insulation of the soil).Flying use fur. This fur has the form of small scales, even in the vicinity they have the form of scales, similar to some scaly cheuis. Perhaps this is due to the fact that many dragons lead a semi-aquatic lifestyle, like seals and gulls. Their systematics remains a mystery, but today they are referred to as an independent group of synapses.
Dragons:
1. Night fury is able to fly silently, like owls. He spends most of his life in the air, hunting birds, bats and fish. The teeth are hidden in the lips, which protect them from chemical and physical damage. This is very similar to the retractable claws of cats.
2. Zippleback lifestyle is similar to geese. They swim on the surface of the water and catch fish and crustaceans with a long neck. Swim paws. The head of these animals resembles the heads of snakes, that is, this is a way to open up quite widely, allowing you to make large prey. Flies glide through the air. He has weak wing muscles.
3. Deadly nagger has long legs allow you to run well enough. The wide maw allows you to swallow the fish that relatives with pelicans.
4. Gronkle mainly feeds on invertebrates, which are disguised as stones, as well as detritus. The structure of the body is similar to the structure of the body of the night furia, but with a shorter body, and with short wide wings. They are the owners of the strongest wings among dragons.
5. Monstrous Nightmare - the most unique dragon. Its wings are modified forelimbs. The remains of the back wings are a continuation of his real wings. He is one of the few dragons that fly not by sliding on membranes, like flying squirrels, or due to the back wings, but by well-developed forelimbs. Horns are an element of demonstrative behavior. According to them you can determine: the sex and age of the individual. His mouth is similar to the mouth of an alligator.
6.Whispering death from the rare species of dragons. Unlike other dragons, he has no legs. Instead, he has "moving spikes." They are identical to the wings, but serve as legs. They have "claws" that are actually modified spikes. Such dragons have a completely different structure of the skull. Their skulls, like their jaws, are very strong and durable. They dig with the help of teeth, like a mole rat. And although they have lost the ability to fly, they are still able to glide through the air, for considerable distances.
7. Sweet sting is the fastest dragon that can compete with ostrich in speed. The wings of these dragons are greatly reduced. But they have very long and strong legs that allow you to move quickly. They are also able to swim on the surface of the water, like seabirds. These dragons have a poisonous sting at the end of the tail. It is not known exactly what could have contributed to the development of the sting on the tail; there is an assumption that initially it served as self-defense. Also these dragons have a big head. What exactly they eat is a mystery. However, there is a version that they also prefer to swallow small animals, or perhaps they steal the eggs of other dragons.
8. Sea shocker completely water dragon, which instead of fur scales. This dragon is amazing because it looks more like a fish - it has well-developed electroreceptors on the snout, as well as special organs (for example, the electric chute) that allow you to generate an electrical impulse. Such a dragon rarely hits the surface of the water, because he spends almost all his life at depth, floating up to the surface, breathing in the air. There is a theory that these dragons, like some aquatic turtles, have internal gills.
9.The Red Death is one of the few giant dragons in truth. They can be matched with male elephant seals, which can weigh up to 4 tons. But the red death is almost 2 times longer than these by the male. They spend almost all their lives in the water, occasionally getting out onto dry land. Their limbs are small. For the most part, they crawl, because of their gigantic proportions. They swallow food like whales.

Initially, I wanted them to do something like warm-blooded snakes, who independently developed their own limbs.

Very interesting takes on these dragons, I especially like how you've tweaked the appearance of each believably while keeping the unique features of the original versions of each species. I especially like the Night Fury and Gronckle's redesigns
