#draco lizard
Text
Every time I just casually draw a dragon I wind up drawing roughly the same dude; snake-like body, short limbs, long snout, a frill, and usually horned nostrils and a rattle. So I decided to finally pin down a design for this slinky guy, whom I’ve just been calling “Noodle”, while simultaneously experimenting with a plausible(-ish) design for a four-legged-two-winged dragon based on Draco Lizards. Yeah, he does resemble a Rainwing, but is that really surprising? Rainwings are my favorite dragon species.
I looked at so many lizard skeletons and I still don’t feel like I did this skeletal justice, but it will have to do. I primarily referenced Draco Lizards and Komodo Dragons. I fused the vertebrae that the rib-wing bones attached to make the area more robust.
Also went with a scale pattern reminiscent of the Wings of Fire illustrations by Joy Ang because they’re fun to do and they make my life easier and no other scale pattern I tried looked good.
I plan on making more species within this evolutionary line that will all get descriptions alongside this one, so I won’t give much detail about this species yet, just that they’re semi-aquatic river and lake dwellers that rely on multiple adaptations to look scary and deter threats as they can’t breathe fire like most other dragons.

Animal of the Day!
Common Flying Dragon (Draco volans)
(Photo by Bec Crew)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Southern India; Southeastern Asia
Size (Weight/Length)- 20 cm
Diet- Ants; Termites
Cool Facts- It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a… lizard gliding up to 50 meters?! While climbing and chilling on a branch, the common flying dragon looks like a normal lizard. When threatened by a predator and in need of a quick escape, these little lizards display a miraculous feat. By jumping from a tree, they expand a membrane connected to their legs and a dewlap on their throat. This membrane allows them to glide a great distance to another tree or to the ground, far away from a threat or towards a food source. While not technically flying, this, by all rights, is a modern day dragon.
Rating- 13/10 (Oh lord, he’s zooming.)

More of a glider than a flyer; still our very own “dragon”. Ah, yes, the size as well... but since we are not princesses either, it’s fine ;)

Draco lizards have the amazing ability to be able to fly from tree to tree in search of food, a mate and to avoid predators.

Arguably dragons exist, but in a much smaller form than expected.
Draco lizards are around 20cm long but have the glide up to 60m!
There are 41 Draco species currently recognised.
Oh my goodness I love them. They remind me of the Quetzal kinda and that’s awesome. Ooo wait no they look like the Tapejara lemme grab a photo
I like these guys :)
