dragon wings

Mythical beast's sails

Dragon wings are the large, bat-like appendages imagined on the backs of dragons in Western mythology and fantasy.

They typically feature a membrane stretched between elongated finger-like bones.

The term appears in fantasy gaming, costume design, and as a name for various foods—chicken wings prepared in a spicy style, or fried dough pastries shaped to evoke the image.
