it's interesting to see people saying undel's dragons look dog-like
(not saying youre wrong, just giving my own take on it. also, before anyone tells me to get therapy, i am in therapy and doing great)
i have a fear of dogs thats also manifested as a deep level of disgust and anger when i see one, or anything similar to one. canids (and vulpines), even just their skulls or the shape of them and their bodies. i cant see dogs IRL and even seeing the doglike familiars on site causes this reaction (ive mitigated it with adblocking images though. its definitely not FRs problem, its a me problem lol). so even cartoon canine visuals trigger it

all that to say that ive never felt any sort of negativity towards the dragon designs themselves, though mirrors (and tundras) got pretty close to the edge for me (not helped by everyone in plague calling them "murder puppies"). they dont feel doglike to me, or any other dragon designs ive seen from undel. im wondering what makes other people see them as doglike? is it just because people associate mammalian = dog? (i dont see just you im replying to saying this, ive seen this sentiment a LOT)

DA yeah i dont see it either! they don't strike me as doglike at all, except maybe gaolers.

Yeah, IDK. I wouldn't say all but two have dog or cat bodies, even if we're only talking moderns. And I don't see the mammalian back legs on the Bogsneaks, either.

I see horses in most of them much more than I see dogs. (Part of why I love the carousel apparel so much.)
