Yeah, I haven't subscribed to any particular definition of a dragon other
than some sort of reptile that can fly, so his ambiguity isn't a surprise.

Thanks! His arms do have pretty good articulation and can, in fact, make
circular motions. His legs are a completely different story. By giving the
legs more articulation, the easier it would be to balance him, which is a
good thing. Right now, there are only two of those half friction/half axle
pegs bearing the full weight. They do their job amazingly well, but I can
find a few positions where they just aren't enough to hold the position.
Definitely an area for improvement. Thanks for the feedback!
