Dragon Sub-Types are the various subspecies of dragons that can be commonly found in mythology and culture from all over the world. Each sub-type includes a different kind of Dragons, classified by their peculiar physical characteristics.

Here is a list of all the Dragons that can be found on Dragon Cave sorted by mythological and cultural sub-types.

These sub-types are open to different versions and will often be changed to suit the artists' needs and wants. Many of them were obtained from the Dragonology Book by Ernest Drake so please ask before claiming information here is incorrect to you.

AmphipteresEdit

The Amphiptere has the body of a serpent, from head to tail. It also has a pair of wings behind its neck, where forelimbs might be found on a quadruped, but the amphiptere possess no other limbs of any sort. They may have feathered wings, resembling a bird's, or typical bat-like wings.

Aquatic DragonsEdit

The Aquatic Dragon lives either in the sea, lakes or rivers. They appear in many different forms but commonly have webbed/paddle-shaped hands and/or feet (or fins instead of its limbs), a tail fin used for steering. Some aquatic dragons are even capable of surviving out of water for a limited time span.

DC - DrakesEdit

DC - Drakes are a type of dragon unique to Dragon Cave. They tend to be smaller than most dragons, about the size of a dog. Unlike other dragons, they are not sapient or as smart. They have antlers, tend to be very calm unless bred to be otherwise and do not talk. They are shown to be more tame and easily trained. Dovealove, the creator of the first Draks, took the 'e' off to avoid confusion with the term as used elsewhere, although the description on the site has not been changed. Draks can only breed with other draks.

PygmiesEdit

Pygmies are a specific type of breed known for their small build which resembles the size of a cat. There exist many different kinds of Pygmies.

Pygmy eggs are one of the few eggs that can resist the bite of Vampire Dragons.

WyrmsEdit

These are more like large snakes with very thick bodies, which (usually) have no limbs at all. They are sometimes shown with snake-like heads, sometimes more draconic.

Examples: There are no Wyrms on Dragon Cave yet.

WyvernsEdit

These look mostly like western dragons, with one key difference: they have no front legs/arms. Usually more bird like in appearance, they have only back legs and wings.
