ok for dragon stuff, immediate thought is like. Komodo dragon, bearded dragon, or Chinese water dragon bc of the name. Basilisk lizards are also kinda that, and theyre well known bc they can run on waterAlso- depending on the kinda vibe you wanna go for that might influence what reptiles u take inspo from. Like my main thoughts are "full fursona", where it's anthro but got a lizard head, "Demi human" where it's kinda like. Person with lot of reptile traits and/or like lamia stuff (snake bottom human top), or "shifter" which could give u a gradient of being more human or draconic at diff times.Also there's the question if u wanna include wings as a big part of the dragon, bc there's some like gliding lizards and snakes (the gliding lizard is called Draco I just looked it up bc I couldn't remember the name so. Nother dragon name 👍. Snakes r Chrysopelea) Also if u wanna give an elemental vibe, here's some stuff:Water: obv Chinese water dragon, but also marine iguanas swim. Basilisk for the running thing too lol. Sea snakes are really cool (and often super venomous)- I love sea snakes so much it's unreal. Special shout outs to sea kraits, love those guys (and sea kraits arent fully aquatic so theres a bit more leeway to have the character on land like. Real world logic wise). You could also play with gators/crocs/caimans or fresh/saltwater turtles if you wanna branch out. Also anacondas hang out in waterFire: not lizards but you could take inspo from salamanders (technically inaccurate but derives from old times- salamanders would hang out in logs, and when ppl tossed the logs into the fire they'd run out, so it looked like they were emerging from the fire). There's not a huge amount, but gila monsters might also be a good choice bc of their coloring (and living in hot places)Earth: basically most desert reptiles I'd say. Immediate thought is horny toads (small fat very cute and also yes they are called that). Gila monster again. Rattlesnakes, Kingsnakes (which eat rattlesnakes bc they are resistant to their venom), and since I mentioned turtles you could do a tortoise thing? Also some snakes will steal other animals burrows after they eat themPlant: iguanas (not marine), vine snakes (they're so skinny), eyelash vipers (icons), most geckos (crested, anoles, etc) chameleon, some monitorsAir: mostly the gliding reptiles I mentioned before lol Some other special mentions for interesting reptiles: elephant trunk snake, legless lizards, skinks, gaboon vipers (FAT) that one snake whose tail looks like a spider. I feel like I had more but I think my brain is fryingANYWAY reptiles are so cool! This is definitely kind of just a massive blast of diff reptiles lmao. If there's a specific vibe you're going for I could maybe narrow it down to reptiles that fit better lol!

THANK U THANK UUUUU‼️‼️
