Dragons are believe to have bones also.
The western dragon were suppose to have a skeleton similar to all creatures. The picture below tells what they should look like. Anyways, their bones need to be strong in the head,yet hollow and light at the same time. Their skull has horns and many diferrent bones.
They are suppose to have long necks and muscle in their bones to help them move. Their muscles are very strong because they need massive strength just to fly.
Their scales are suppose to act as a defense for the dragon since they are densley packed. The scales can also act as camouflage. It can also change color to fit the enviroment. The scales are the main defence for a dragon. Dragons should have hollow bone so if they get penetrated the dragon will be disabled and die.
Many dragons can fly in the stories and that's because they have a lots of muscles and their bones are hollow. They also have magic powersthat would help them fly. The dragon's weapon are usually their fire breath, the claw, or the wings. Those weapons could kill you easily. They have sharp wing claws so they use that also to destroy things.
Dragon have one more sense than human's. Thats the ability to sense other's feelings.
One reason a dragon is able to breath out fire in the stories is because it has two stomachs, special glands, and it's lungs are special. When a dragon eats a prey, the prey goes into a stomach. Then it goes into the second stomach which breaks it down even further. The parts that are not broken down gets turned into hydrogen which is stored into the special glands in the lungs. The dragons first release hydrogen if they want to breathe fire. Then it fires oxygen into air and when the hydrogen hit with the oxygen; its burns the air.
