Everyone has their own views of what types of dragons there are. There's every color under the rainbow (including the rainbow in a couple instances). As to the types, the three most common are the hexapodal western dragons (two wings, four legs), eastern dragons (more serpantine and magical/divine), and wyverns (two legs and two wings). There are numerous other types but it all boils down to what you consider is a dragon. I myself have my own view of what dragons are.

More than any of us can possibly know. Right now, they're stil pretty much theoretical. There could be trillions, or there could be none. There's really no way to tell.

This is just my opinion and doesn't discredit anyone else's by any means. It's just my view of what a dragon is.
To me a dragon has to have substantially large wings to maintain such a large beast in the air. Now some dragons were more lithe and smaller but the wing span is still needed. Eastern dragons, I like the philosophies and if they are gods or descendants of gods than that explains their body shapes, but other than that Eastern dragons to me are not dragons they're just an overly large crossbreed of a lizard and a snake.
Wyverns, Western/Heraldic, those to me are what dragons are. They don't have to breathe fire or be magical.
My kind couldn't breathe fire (and why would we want to? Some young drake will cause forests to burn down and thus our race would be hunted for bringers of destruction which we were not). My kind were as much a part of nature as any other creature here on Earth except the intelligence level. I'd like to think it was higher than human's but I'll just leave it as questionable around comparable to humans

Pfft, eastern dragons win all day, every day.
I don't know which I am, but I love both easterns and westerns.
