Well, I’m more into the Phoenix, Fire Bird, Thunder Bird, etc group. But, of those dragons. I don’t care what kind. I like the myth of the Eastern dragons, and how they look.
I had to look up Hieracosphinx as I had never heard the term before. I’m still not sure of the difference between it an a griffin. I’ve seen two differing descriptions. One says it’s a Falcon-headed sphinx, the other comprising a lion with the gryphon’s aquiline head replaced by that of a falcon.
Along the same lines I’ve never head the term Occidental Dragon. Is that another name for Western Dragons or is it something else entirely?
