A type of dragon seen in European mythology, characterized by a closer resemblance to a lizard, possessing membranous wings, spikes/horns, walks on all fours but is sometimes seen standing or even walking on only two, and sometimes ability to breathe fire. Western dragons can also be considered the most standard dragon type and a staple of any fantasy series.

Examples include Smaug; most modern depictions are, in turn, heavily based on Smaug. Other franchise characters like Spyro, Toothless (and its species night fury), and Elliot are considered as western dragon.
