I'm rather tired of saying Gorath is a Wolfdragon. Seems redundant and doesn't really have any meaning. Sure, he is sorta wolfy and sorta dragony, but I no longer see him as either or a part of those things. It has lost meaning. He is just a him. I need a name for what he is. Should he just be A Gorath?
FA+

Any REAL suggestions? =P
SO I CAN RIDE YOU AROUND AND STEER YOU INTO SHIT.
Please do.
I also like Grylor's suggestion.
A Gorath doesn't sound too bad, I mean, there's nothing like you after all. :P
There's things... LIKE me. Not exactly. But sorta-ish. I see them sometimes, hiding in the galleries of people I never hear about. Probably hiding from me. Needs a name for these guys.
DON'T I OWE YOU A BADGE? I FORGOT TO MAIL ALL THOSE
Wolgon? Dralf? Dracwol? Drachwol? (from "Drache", dragon in German) Drachvuk? ("Drache" again and "Vuk" is wolf in Croatian) Dravuk ("Dra" of dragon and "vuk" again)
In the end you could check out the words "dragon" and "wolf" in any other language you prefer and splice them together or fiddle with spelling and such. *shrugs* Just throwing an idea out.
Saying it like "Wolf-dragon" is like pretending that there's a set standard to all wolf/dragon mixes, and there's really not x3
So. Just say you're a mix, and then elaborate if people are that worried about it.
Not a bad suggestion though. I do often use the term hybrid, at least. But it's not like we're mixing breeds of dog here. I say mix and it seems like someone might respond, "Bulldog and shi-tzu?"
But I keep having to say, "I'm a dragonwolf." And it just sounds dumb to me. Stop being a poser and get a name if you want to be a real species! *fascist old man voice*
How do you Mate/reproduce?, are you endothermic? how is your eyesight? do you see in color? where are your smell receptors located? explain your bone structure as related to other species. how do you differ from wolves, how do you differ from dragons? your shoe size. and body manipulation abilits? :3
dick warm blooded fur => mammal
Specialized neck structure, special skin (scales), warmblooded => bat
specialized fat storage => goes to mammals again.
Wings, hexipod => dragon, alien spieces. hmmmmm
hmmm
Occultus dracus aliēnus
Xeno-dracus ?
Sorry, my Wagon idea already got taken...it's all I gots.
I don't particularly like the second ;P
