Know your dragons

Hello Steemians, today I saw argument about are dragons in Game of thrones dragons. That inspired me to write this article where I will explain what types of draconic creatures exist in fantasy.

 
There are 4 types of draconic creatures of which 3 can fly.
Flying are:
Wyvern
Dragon
Wyrm
Non-flying:
Drake


Wyvern

Has two legs and pair of wings. 
Examples: Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal in Game of thrones, 
Smaug in The Hobbit movies and any dragon you fight in TES V Skyrim.


Dragon

Has four legs and wings.
Examples: Spyro the dragon, Toothless from How to train your dragon,
Smaug in The Hobbit book, most dragons from World of warcraft
 


Wyrm

Snake like creature with or without legs that can fly, like dragons
in eastern cultures.
Examples:  Mushu from Mulan, Haku from Spirited away(Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi 
is his full name) Gyarados from Pokémon.


Drake

Has four legs, and no wings. Basically a giant fire breathing lizard.
Examples: Glaurung from Tolkiens works(killed by Túrin),  
draccus in Name of the wind.


So now you know basic differences between those fire breathing magical creatures, stay tuned for more Know your fantasy articles.
