The Elsweyr Dragon

Everything about this dragon from the Elder Scrolls universe is exaggerated, in both number and size of its horns, teeth and scales. How are original dragons created, over and over again? Their creators like to combine all the usual attributes with inventions of their own making: we are currently seeing a multiplication not only of draconic powers (those of Kingdoms of Fire can spit ice or poison, camouflage themselves, or see in the dark) and physical characteristics borrowed from other animals in real or fictitious bestiaries, but also of devices, machines and weapons of war (for example, in the steampunk genre).
