🐉 Dragon
Type: Theriomythic / Otherkin
Feeling a pull toward something ancient, powerful, and untamed? You may identify as a dragon. Important and respectful note: because dragons are mythical rather than real, earthly animals, identifying as one is usually called theriomythic or otherkin — not a true theriotype. It is every bit as valid a part of the alterhuman community.
Dragon-identifying alterhumans often describe a sense of vastness, deep time, fierce independence, and a connection to elements like fire, storm, or earth. Many experience phantom wings, a tail, claws, and horns. If "dragon" resonates, you might explore the words otherkin and theriomythic alongside (or instead of) therian.

- You value fierce independence and inner power
- You feel drawn to an element (fire, storm, earth, sea)

💚 A Note on Respect
Your theriotype isn't a choice, a phase, or a costume — and only you can truly know it. A quiz like ours can point you toward animals worth reflecting on, but take your time. There's no "fake" therian and no rush. If the Dragon resonates, explore it gently through introspection, dreams, and community.
