User blog:Da Clorax/proposed relations between even more dragon species, and my logic and reasoning behind it

Ok. So, you see how some of the dragons seem to be entirely different from the others? Compare say, a Snaptrapper to a Deadly Nadder. How on earth could these possibly be related?

Well, that's the purpose of this blog! I will painstakingly observe the differences and similarities between each and every dragon, and see where I think each one belongs on the family tree.

First off:

The Most Obvious (Hotburple, Gronckle, and Groncicle)
In order of relation, I believe it goes this way: Hotburple, Gronckle, and Groncicle. Why?

It's been confirmed several times that the Hotburple is related to the Gronckle, and so is the Groncicle. However, it is VERY clear that the Hotburple shares more with the Gronckle than it does with the Groncicle.

1. The Gronckle and the Hotburple both share the tail mace: the Groncicle clearly does not.

2. The color scheme (and I presume overall texture) of the Gronckle is much more similar to the Hotburple than the Gronkle. The Groncicle has skin that appears to be made of Ice; the Gronckle has rough, brownish scales, and so does the Hotburple.

3. The Gronckle and Hotburple both share the signature bumps along their body: the Groncicle again clearly does not.

4. The Gronckle and Hotburple have the same ears, while the Groncicle curiously does not appear to have any visible ears.

However, I will note, the Gronckle does have the same teeth as the Groncicle, which is very different from the Hotburple.
