What are the dragon types?

There are sevral types of dragons, the most common being the Western dragon. This is the one that you have probably heard of. Wingless dragons include another common one, the Chinese dragon, and the drake. The drake is similar to a Western Dragon (but it doesn't have wings). Dragons are also put into "classes". Water, Ice, and Acid dragons are all examples of this. Another type of dragon is the Wyrm. It is much like a Western Dragon, but it spends most of its time underground, has darker scales, and is smaller than a Western Dragon. Also, a Wyrm only SOMETIMES developes wings and legs. Finally, there are many other dragon types, but I will last mention the Fae. It is an espically small dragon, typically forest dwelling, and sometimes takes on features of small creatures.
