go to amazon.com and do a search for pern, the pern dragon is a type of dragon based on Anne McCaffrey's (thanks bloodsong) books...and Michael Whelan's (thanks again bloodsong) art... It's a genetically engineered lizard...looks like a raptor with wings or something...kinda bonier than a raptor around the face, has more humanistic type hands and feet, no ears, no fins or spines, personally I think they are fairlly ugly, and not at all dragon like, but thats just me, I prefer the RPG dragons...they don't have scales, just leathery flesh no belly plating, no distinguishing marks at all really though they do have really big spooky looking eyes...come in a few colors white being rare, gold being the most powerful, blues, browns, bronzes, and greens being other variations...Those books were the first I ever read, and actually inspired my first dragon art, but then I found the Western Dragon and fell in love...The Eastern dragon I never really liked at all until recentlly...But a search on the internet will deffinatelly bring up more than you ever cared to know about pern dragons...
