Dragon Types:

• European: 4 legged and winged. Common in films involving dragons being slain or ridden.
• Drake: 4 legged, not winged, and commonly possessing a short body. Frequent in 20th century animation when wing animation was difficult for the artists.
• Asian: 4 legged, not winged, and possessing a long body. Often found in anime, western animation and films with East Asian themes.
• Wyvern: 2 legged, winged. Common in films involving dragons being slain. Their popularity increased in the 21st century with the rise of live action CGI but the difficulty in animating classical 6 limbed European dragons remained
• Serpentine: has no legs or wings and frequently appearing in animation as a lake monster
• Amphithere: has no legs but possesses wings. These are uncommon
• Alien: Dragons with unusual alien physical appearance. These appear in Sci-Fi films
• Other: The Dragon has a shape not conforming to any of the above categorizations

In the type of dragon there may be an indicator with a number followed by "H" this means the dragon has multiple heads, if it is wingless it is typically a Hydra.
