I don't care whether dragons have "hands" or not, as long as it meets all other draconic reqs. Bookwyrm Send a noteboard - 15/12/2013 02:16:15 PM

Dragons don't NEED anything to be what they are. They can be wingless for all I care. (Glaurung was wingless.) Oriental dragons are depicted without wings, and sometimes limbless as well. To me, the requirements for dragons are more fluid. As long as they are great, fire-breathing serpents, I'm fine with anything.

Smaug looked every bit the dragon in the movie. He had forelegs and hind legs, and the wings just happened to be attached to the former.

And I've always thought wyverns were dragon-like creatures with a barbed tail like a scorpion.

BOHICA - Go ahead, ask me what it means.

Sorry, two-legged dragons are just goofy, even if they did the best they could with that limitation Cannoli - 13/12/2013 11:13:34 PM 1234 Views
I'm glad I am not the only person who cares about that. nossy - 15/12/2013 08:41:48 AM 1125 Views

The entire concept of a wyvern is a fairly recent one. Tom - 16/12/2013 04:48:15 PM 1134 Views
I especially liked Thranduil's scenes. *minor spoilers* Bookwyrm - 13/12/2013 11:25:30 PM 1108 Views

I liked her ironclad - 14/12/2013 10:43:22 AM 1149 Views
A lot of reviews said she was one of the best parts of the movie Aeryn - 16/12/2013 06:05:50 PM 1463 Views
Have to say, this was even worse than the first one, and I fear the third one may be still worse. Legolas - 04/01/2014 12:32:51 AM 1179 Views
You know what I think. I definitely have spoilers. nossy - 04/01/2014 07:23:52 PM 1161 Views
