Note that there is also a WoW term "dragonkin" which of course is NOT meant
Modern [[science]] does not accept ancient accounts of seeing dragons, instead categorizing dragons as mythical, being loosely based on creatures such as [[snake]]s. This has been contested on the basis that snakes do not have legs like dragons, nor do they grow nearly as large as dragons.

Modern psychology and paleontology offers us one explanation; the features of the majority of dragons are a chimeric combination of several different types of animals that prehistoric man had to fear. Birds of prey, big cats, and large reptiles being among man's chief competitors in prehistoric times, it is theorized that the dragon was an amalgamation of these animals as a remnant of instinctual memories.

==Draconity==
So-called [[Otherkins]] are persons with a human body, but they aren't humans but other animals. The relative majority of those Otherkins are the so-called Dragonkins who are dragons in a human body. The collective term for those Dragonkins is ''Draconity''. It is not known whether Dragonkins can gather power over ice resp. fire, like dragons in dragon bodies.
