I am not even in school atm for I am sick, and asked out of curiousity, as well, I figured with the dinosaurs post, and the vampire, I could ask.

as well, im busy on here posting, and figured it would be easyer to just ask in a post and wait for answer.

They have Scales, and No fur/body hair

I belive they would be classified as Reptiles, or Mythilogical Creatures, your pick.

you cant ask a question about egg laying mammals and then use the fact that something lays eggs to disprove it from being a mammal!

Hun, Learna bit more.

Egg laying is a QUALITY of REPTILES. Which is why the Plat is So strange its a mammal that lays eggs

But becouse it has MORE mammal qualitys than reptile, it is such

Almost ALL dragon qualitys are of a reptile, so it should be such

Acid reflux?

That did not help in the classification, lol

Well, the only thing close is acid, and only snakes and lizards spit acid, and they are BOTH reptiles.

Bugs are mainly insects…not mammals.

So it dosnt help your mammal theory.

and wiki says “a serpentine or otherwise reptilian monster “

So sice sepentine is snakelike, and snakes are reptiles, I think its safe to say its a reptile.

You Havnt Learned about much of this have you?

Its classified by 5 things mainly

Warm/Cold Blood.
Scales/Fur
Eggs/Birth
Weather or not they breast feed.
Weather or not they have a backbone.

Dragons Have Scales: Thats A Reptile Quality
Dragons Lay Eggs: Reptile
Dragons Do not Breastfeed: Bird/Reptile/Fish (Anything EXCEPT Mammal)
Dragons DO have a backbone: Reptile/Mammal,Bird..Actualyl a good bit.

SOO, 4 of five, and I would BET their cold blooded. So Ima Say Reptile.

Bats are Mammals

The majority of mammals have seven cervical vertebrae (bones in the neck); this includes bats, giraffes, whales, and humans. -wiki

As well, I have my Answer

“As it turns out, there are two other egg-laying mammals: the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijnii).
Also known as spiny anteaters, these prickly creatures are native to Australia and New Guinea. After mating, the female echidna lays a single egg in a small pouch on her body. The egg hatches after about 10 days, and the young echidna remains in the pouch for about 2-3 months before mom kicks it out (those spikes get painful).”
