Thanks for the welcome  (◡‿◡✿)

they actually do, by evolutionary process (let's take as example the Cinognathus, a half-mammal-half-reptyle creature that evolved into mammals changing from the reptile ancestors -actually, these creatures inspired mh staffs in making Zinogre, as previously explained-)

That's the only way i can think of explaining how does Goa Magara still get exhausted/hungry and still can be captured... no Elder Dragons do it (does Kirin, maybe?...can't remember well)
