The popular versions do frequently tend to have fur, I
agree.
> Scalies and featheries are not seen as often as furries.
Hmmm, I disagree here. I view these as sub-sets of the
furry group. Besides, 'furry' has that nice sounding
name/mental image that associates friendly/cuddly - an
attribute most of us like.

I think 'furry' is really just commonly (within the 'furry
community') used slang for anthropmorphic characters.
Since dragons and such do display anthropomorphic
qualities, I have no problem grouping them in with
'furries'. Scalies just don't sound as lovable. :-)
Scrapper, Black Dragon, I suppose you can hug me if you
_really_ want to...
