Skeletal structure consists of a large head, long neck, broad shoulders, thick legs, strong tail and very large wings. The bones are very strong, hollow, and light, allowing for flight.

Dragons are warm-blooded animals, also known as homeothermic, belonging to the reptile family. Their body temperature is regulated internally, with the ability to adapt to various climate conditions. They have unmistakable wings, hence the flying. Dragons don't depend on the sun's warmth, so they have no problems being active day or night. Dragons are different sizes, of course. They start out as eggs, from 1-4 feet in length, and about half that in diameter. As adults, some species of dragons can be as long as 85 feet, with a wingspan of 170 feet. A dragon's eye has a large iris and a vertical pupil, like a cat. Dragons' abilities set them at the top of the food chain and make them the most potent hunters of the natural world.

These wings are typically attached to the dragon's back, spanning a formidable width that is proportional to their body size. Therefore, no limitation is placed on exploring other explanations of Eastern dragon anatomy, since the descriptive quality of the animals attributed here is a demonstration of power and strength, rather than a true biological description of the creature in question..
