Dragons are fictional creatures. Arbitrary classifications from outside the Elder Scrolls universe don't apply to the Elder Scrolls universe. If the game calls them dragons, than they're freaking dragons. Most dragons don't use shouts to breath fire either.

Twilights vampires are the only real definition of vampires.

Wyverns are generally the lesser intelligent cousins of Dragons, they cannot use magic and may or may not be able to breath fire. Skyrim dragons somewhat fit into the right classification as they're very intelligent and can use a form of magic.

So therefore D&D's definition of dragons is the only real definition of dragons? Your arguments don't even make sense.

Wow, that was dumb. Especially when you consider that Wyverns are supposed to be serpent like, using their body to rest on and move with, and their "feet" as hands. Wyverns who use their feet as feet are a recent invention.
Whoever made that video, as someone who is going to needlessly argue the taxonomy of fictional beings, should at least get their facts straight before they nitpick minor details of others.

Wyverns don't usually have that many limbs, there's many definitions on what is a Wyvern. All of it is just pointless. What people call a wyvern is a wyvern, and what they say is a dragon, is a dragon. Who cares.

Arguing the anatomy of a fictional creature is just flat out silly. It can have 9 penises and 7 tails if you wanted it to and would still be correct, since it is fictional and can look any way you want it to.

They could call them dogs, and because the game is fictional, the creatures would be dogs.

Aren't dragons normally large snake with only 2 arms, sometimes 4 arms?
