Maybe I'm primed by the Chinese depiction of a dragon which is more similar
to your first picture. I would call both creatures a {lung} or perhaps a
{lung'a'}. The pronunciation of the word for dragon is also the same in
Klingon and Chinese (at least in Mandarin), so that might fit.

A little dragon-lore:<br>
<br>
Through most of human history, dragons were thought to resemble serpents (i=
.e., snake-like bodies), sometimes with wings or legs attached. Since the M=
iddle Ages, they have slowly become more lizard-like. Modern artists often =
depict them as lizards with long necks and tails. <<a href=3D"http://en.=
