 While it is not the rule, draconids are frequently conceptualized as being warm-blooded, which may vary between being [[mammal]]ian, [[avian]] or based on the hypothetical biology of many dinosaur species. To further accentuate their mammal- and bird-like flavor, many draconids are given partial to full coats of [[fur]], or [[feather]]s. They also frequently sport details such as external ears, and may or may not have scaly skin. It is somewhat less common for draconids to share female mammalian traits such as mammaries, but this characterization can be seen in certain cases.
