I give up. Half of you are joking the other half is serious. Some say fantasy is the same as reality and another says dinassaurs are all dragons. This is completely out of hand.

Dinossaurs are dinossaurs. They are not dragons. The only dragons in existance in real life are komodo dragons and they have nothing to do with dragons of fantasy that beeing fantasy can go about beeing anything the authors want to create. The classic fantasy image of a dragon is a lizard that flies.

Now please stop beeing silly. I was having fun with pokemon and this gets turned into a flame war because i do not think that its fair to classify a dinossaur as a dragon, especially if it doesnt fly. Its pokemon and thus fantasy, so they can say its a fairy/water type if they want. Its their game.

I did not say all dinosaurs are dragons.  I said waht is teh dinosaur T-Rex.

T-Rex is a giant lizard.  Which is what basically a dragon is in real life, such as the komodo "DRAGON"

That was using real life.

As in fantasy.  THere are dragons that fly, don't fly.  have wings, don' have wings.  and those in any variation.  

SO in both fantasy and real life, T-rex can easily be described as a dragon.
