And here's another question: is our Russian serpent (no, not what you think, not green, but Gorynych) related to a dragon? Or is it a hybrid of a dragon and a multi-headed hydra? (wow)

IMHO, both our Serpent and the Hydra are just variations of the general dragon image, since they all originate from the same overgrown reptile. Moreover, my mythological dictionary shares this point of view. On the other hand, in my opinion, it can be decided individually for each fantasy world, depending on what is more convenient and desirable.
А, вот почему.

Just curious, why is our Zmey Gorynych always depicted with three heads, while the classic Dragon usually has only one.

Because that's how it's traditionally done in Russia. The number 3 often appears in legends and fairy tales, so they decided to give the local dragon three heads. At least, that's what I think.

And I won't continue this pointless argument. :P

P.S. So what? I insult a lot of people... Elves with pointy ears, horned demons, undead as rotting corpses, dragons as overgrown lizards, King's Bounty creatures as vegetables...
А, вот почему.

I was watching TV, and they showed that scientists have almost proven that dragons could have actually existed. They could fly and breathe fire. But then they all died out... (((

I was watching TV, and scientists practically proved that dragons could have actually existed. They could fly and breathe fire. But then they all died out... (((
And I recently saw that scientists have established that, given the dragon's structure, it would be impossible to fly and unlikely to exist... So, who should we believe?

I've heard something similar too. Well, I don't deny that possibility. Dinosaurs roamed around, so dragons might not have been that different.
I recently saw that scientists determined that it's impossible for a dragon to fly given its structure, and it's unlikely they could have existed... So who should we believe?
Well, yes, flight requires powerful muscles. But maybe they had a special structure, different from the muscle structure of other animals?

Revan is upset that the topic about creatures he doesn't like is so popular. He regrets creating this topic.

Be strong. Believe

I recently saw that scientists determined that a bumblebee with its structure cannot fly in any way. But it does fly!

The structure of a regular dragon's wing doesn't allow it to fly forward, at least. It can only fly backward; pay attention to the animations in Heroes of Might and Magic V (although I don't remember if the dragons there are different and animated correctly).
I need to play Heroes again; it's been a while.
Half a year, is that all?! That's terrible.
Vistreet, if you're reading this, I want to have a serious duel with you.
But I don't think you read this thread.

Yes, powerful muscles are needed for flight. But perhaps dragons had a special muscle structure, different from the muscle structure of other animals?
Also, flight requires low weight and lightweight bones... But dragons everywhere weigh almost as much as Diplodocus, and they are even more unruly...
Pterodactyls weighed no more than 100 kg... and even a strong wind could break their wings...

You know, Ghost, it seems like you were weighing dragons. Maybe they have air sacs like birds.
А, вот почему.
