Retroactive Continuity "description conflicts with Qinii Dragons"
The scales
Dragons in Utgard are humanoid; in fact they have the same racial distinctions as the humanoids of Nidavellir (Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Humans). In Nidavellir, though, dragons take the form of giant quadrupedal reptiles with leathery wings… essentially the classic fantasy trope appearance. Dragons in Nidavellir take a shape, color, and elemental affinity based on their personality, which is why dragons from similar cultures in Utgard look similar in Nidavellir--they have compatible personality traits.
Dragons do not sprout feathers in Nidavellir; feathers are strictly worn by Phoenixi.
Eastern dragons are long and slender and are capable of flight although they lack wings.
Granberia's Sister is one of these.
It's not just eastern dragons; any dragon can take the form of a serpent instead of a drake based on their personality. Admittedly the description was restrictive and I have corrected it.
