-1. What if Ridley is depicted as an alternate species?

This is why characters don't imply species

-1 for the usual reasons.

On e6 we don't imply characters to species. The main reason is that Ridley for example isn't always a space dragon. Sometimes he looks like this: post #593343. Adorable right?

...What even is that thing?

Oh, and -1.

It's Ridley as a kid. He turns into a lizard and then a dragon.

Like I learned on the first time I made a suggested implication, estabilished characters can be drawn as other species (i.e. characters being drawn as ponies and such). This is a -1 from me.

While we're here, why is space_dragon a tag? There's any way or definition that ties this tag together or differ from the regular dragon tag, would there be any reason to not nuke this tag and alias it to invalid_tag?

I don't know what determines your average space dragon, but the tag for Metroid's Space Dragons is Space Dragon (Metroid). That's the closest to a canon name we have for Ridley's species.

While in his lizard form he could be called Ridley, he shouldn't be getting the tag in his Bird form. That's the character, Little Birdie (Metroid).
