It's not even a hard thing to recognize. The most authoritative piece on Monsters, Monster Hunter, explains this in detail. And here I am in Elden Ring with all "dragon this, dragon that" and I'm like where are these fucking dragons? Dragons have 6 limbs, these fuckers all have 4.

Then I realized George RR Martin made the same mistake with his "dragons" in SOFA. So now I'm thinking he worked on Elden Ring as a propaganda piece to try and push the idea of 4 limbed dragons, or at least try to get the four-legged with wings attached to two to fall into that category. I can understand the confusion, but developing a whole videogame to push your mistake isnt very cool.
