In fact, the modern term 'angel dragon' has been most often used as a synonym for a 'cute/chibi dragon' and nothing more. So one could also think that all angel dragons would have to be 'angelic' in some way to be associated with the description, but this has been found to not be the case. In Asian culture, they are quite angelic, described as guardians of rivers and towns, and some some are even celestial beings themselves. Other than being a dragon, creatures who are called such do not share any common or identifiable physical traits with one another- this means the term 'angel dragon' cannot be classified or used appropriately as a species name by itself.Ī very traditional example of an angel dragon would be the serpent-like Asian Lung (Chinese) dragon. Unfortunately it a highly ambiguous and often confusing term to use. If you were to ask the common person what they thought an angel dragon was, images of feathered wings and halos on a dragon would probably come to mind. There are many interpretations of what the description 'angel dragon' can mean.
