The proper terminology is "giant winged danger snek." Get it right. Im tired of people incorrectly classifying the taxonomy of these beautiful beasts in this hyper realistic game about magic talking cats.

    This is a serious thread correcting incorrect use of the word "dragon" and providing the correct alternative, "giant winged danger snek."

    I, for one, appreciate the clarity ImperialVoice has brought to this issue.

    I think that might be in the lore actually, you’re right I’m not going to call them dragons anymore.

    STOP calling goats giant winged danger sneks. EVERYONE Can see clearly that they are goats by their strong resemblance to goats. UGH.

    Legends never die
    They're written down in eternity
    But you'll never see the price it costs
    The scars collected all their lives
    When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
    Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
    Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
    Legends never die

    Is this question just brilliantly disguised sarcasm mocking people who ask whether obvious jokes are jokes? So next level.

    Goats are also giant winged danger sneks if you read one book that was on a shelf in Oblivion. There is speculation that it fell through time via a dragonbreak, but we can't know for sure until Michael McBride weighs in on Welsh heraldric traditions.

    Uh no they cant be noodles if they have legs. This is made evident in some random quest dialogue from Oblivion.

    They cant be Giant Winged Danger Snerks! According to mythology, Giant Winged Danger Snerks have to have four legs, and since Goats CLEARLY do not have four legs (they are only pretending to have four legs!) and Giant Winged Danger Snerks have four legs and two wings, you are wrong. When I was a small child living in the isolated mountains of Goatswaniland, my mother told me so. I even think I saw a goat once, at the farm.

    By definition of a completely different Lore? Get real.

    Here is the depiction of Akatosh from 2002, pre-dating the significant majority of the lore (games) like Witcher, the image you used.
    In Tamriel this is called a Dragon.

    Go back to which ever Lore you came from if you do not like out dragons.

    Agreed, I've sent in numerous reports to ZOS to quit using the incorrect terminology.....fell on deaf ears.

    Witcher is based off of Polish folklore, not TES. Has no bearing here.
