winged dragon

Airborne fire-breather

A winged dragon is a dragon depicted with wings, the most common form in Western mythology and fantasy.

Unlike serpentine Eastern dragons, Western dragons typically have bat-like wings enabling flight, along with four legs and the ability to breathe fire.

The image dominates fantasy literature, film, and heraldry: The winged dragon on the Welsh flag.
