Okay, I haven't really finished writing this page yet, but it's here specifically so we can point out which depictions of dragons on this wiki are done from descriptions from the books, and which have been made up. I still think that the Chequered Nettle breed is incorrectly drawn (Purple and Striped, when two animals with a similar name are Yellow/Brown and Chequered) and to prevent people mixing canon material with fan work and potentially creating conflicting fan work when official information is published, I'm starting this page to sort things out.
At the moment, I've only grouped the names, and even then the grouping is based on my memory of descriptions, so I could be wrong in places. Almaron 21:23, 22 September 2010 (PDT)
