Mythology would have us believe that the wyrm or dragon is of lizardish extraction.

However, few, if any, close observers of the beast were able to carry their knowledge back to the civilized world. These intrepid explorers tended to be crunchy and tasted good with a nice bechamel sauce.

It is also established dragon folklore that they lay eggs and sit their clutches. This points to a more bird-like origin, as most lizards lay 'em and forget 'em ... unless they're hungry in which case they eat 'em.
