horses - head shape , maybe body
birds - wings , hollow bones , breast bone
reptiles - scales & breeding
Also it can be said: large cats, birds of pray, and large snakes. (This is taken from that Quest of Dragons I posted about.)
large cats: Most traditional dragons are shown with the face towards you, and may be a subconscious draw back to the sight of when we were pray to large cats. With its mouth open to attack.
birds of pray: The same as above but with the taloned feet grabbing at us.
large snakes: Also as above. But the snake would rise to attack giving the either long neck look or the serpentine like body.
But if you do want to pull science into the game, they are dinosaurs. Remember very few full skeletons of dinosaurs have been found. So if someone found a large bone they had to fill in the rest. This is also where giants and other creatures of myth came from.
The victories from those skilled in warfare are not considered of great wisdom or courage, because their victories have no miscalculations
