See also FeatheredSerpent, for another sort of feathered, reptilian beasts with their own cultural baggage (specifically, they call back to feathered serpent deities present in many Mesoamerican religions). See DinosaursAreDragons for dragons and dinosaurs who are portrayed as related or interchangeable. See CatlikeDragons, for another portrayal of dragons with the characteristics of real-life animals. See GoodWingsEvilWings. See DragonsAreDivine for dragons who are gods or like gods. Contrast AllAnimalsAreDogs as dragons are more often exceptions to that trope.

Many are prominently feathered as a result, and some -- such as the owl-like [[https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Malfestio Malfestio]] and the flightless [[https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Gargwa Gargwa]] -- are more like actual birds than anything else.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': While most dragons in the game have the typical membranous wings, a few sport birdlike wings instead.
** [[https://scryfall.com/card/frf/1/ugin-the-spirit-dragon Ugin]], a spirt dragon planeswalker, has feathered wings to reflect his ethereal, enlightened nature.
** Two of the five draconic broods of Tarkir, which are incidentally born from magical tempests created as a side effect of Ugin's presence there, sport feathered wings.
*** Dragons of the bloodline of [[https://scryfall.com/card/dtk/219/dragonlord-ojutai Ojutai]], which are spawned from magic storms in high, cold mountains and breathe [[AnIcePerson ice]], have great white-and-red birdlike wings, in addition to tufts of feathers on their legs. They're enlightened, monk-like and seemingly the most civilized of the dragons that rule Tarkir, but under the surface they're condescending, racist and arrogant, and just as tyrannical as the rest of Tarkir's draconic rulers.
*** Dragons of the brood of [[https://scryfall.com/card/dtk/218/dragonlord-kolaghan Kolaghan]], which are instead spawned on the windswept steppes and breathe [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], have two sets of narrow birdlike wings. They're masters of the skies, and the fastest and most skilled fliers among Tarkir's dragons.
