Oh, yes. This. So, so this. Need me a dragon wife irl.

This dragon seems to be lacking wings. I do believe this is in fact a drake. Still wife material though.

Actually!
A drake is a male duck.

Sometimes "drake" is used to specify wingless dragons.
Sometimes its used to specify young dragons.
Sometimes its used to specify winged dragons that have no forelegs.
In reality, drake = male duck

There is no real, set in stone, classification for dragons, their subtypes, etc. Because they are fantasy. You can call it whatever you want.

Also, i love how the little friend is chained to the thigh.

Usually it goes this way.
4 legs and 2 wings - dragon.
Limbless, long, no wings - wyrm.
2 legs, 2 wings - wyvern.
4 legs, no wings - drake.

Now if anyone wants, I could go crazy and make a 20+ list of every type but I'm not doing that unprompted

A helpful picture I use when describing the types of dragons.

It is missing one dragon though. Two legs, two arms, two wings. They are also called "Dragons"

And really, all of these body types are in a general sense "Dragons" it's just the body style that's different. A wyvern and a drake are still dragons. It's like how a German Sheppard and a Labrador are both dogs, or dogs and wolves are canines.

No. All these are dragons. In fact, originally, dragons were just mere flying snakes. No wings, no legs. So arguing over the definition of dragon on the Internet is always hilarious. All the original folklore, myths, even heraldy, has different depiction of dragons with different count of legs, wings or not, snake-like body or quadrupedal, dipedal. There are even heraldic dragons with snake body, front legs, no hind legs. So no, it doesn't go like you are saying. All of these are dragons. Different type of dragons. Every wyvern is a dragon, every wyrm is a dragon, every drake is a dragon, but not every dragon is a wyvern, drake or wyrm. As simple as that. Dragon is term that refers to all of them. There is no "buts" here.

This sounds like paradise. Love that all she's thinking about is sex lol

Wyvern:
Almost always described as a Lesser Dragon with 2 legs, 2 wings, and a pointed tail. The tail usually is associated with a poison. Why is this not a dragon? Because they don't breath fire in mythology! Almost never will a wyvern be depicted breathing flames until modern day video games changed that.

Wyverns are dragons in today's English. It's why almost everyone is completely comfortable with straight-up calling the dragons in Game of Thrones dragons. We're not wrong to do that. It's not even questionable for us. What you're saying holds water in heraldry, but outside it, these words simply have broader meanings. Saying a wyvern isn't a dragon because it doesn't breathe fire is like saying a penguin isn't a bird because it can't fly. We don't gain anything from telling people what they can and can't call a dragon.
An author of a creative work can do anything they want to with these terms too. Ideally, they'll explain their terms and make the changes work well.
