I'm talking about animals that don't have paws to begin with. Reptiles, fish, amphibians, even fucking arachnids and insects. It just looks weird and wrong.

Is it just an excuse for not being able to draw other types of hands/feet, or is there something more to it? Obviously hybrids are excluded from this.

My personal pet peeve is sharks with bunny ears. Like, why?

Looks nothing like a shark.

It's the exact same shit with how furries changed the definition of what a "dragon" is. Now a dragon is a mammalian creature and not a fantasy reptile. Sharks fall under this too as most are canine in appearance.

Can you post images of real dragons but anthro? I want to understand what you mean.

This is a "dragon" apparently.

To me, it looks like a deer/dog hybrid. Shame most dragon anthros are like this now.

Difference in taste. Even if you think it looks weird and wrong, some people like it

>>117889

It matches the aesthetic, with shark fins and all. Anthro is about aesthetic not biological plausibility/"accuracy."

>>117899

Dragons have always been a mishmash of different animal parts (like most commonly, bat wings, reptile scales, canine build) and there have always been different interpretations of dragons as well, like the split between Eastern and Western dragons. So it already had a pretty expansive and loose definition.

Well yeah, I agree that doesn't look much like a dragon. But, show me a dragon.

The issue is that it doesn't look like an anthro shark. It looks like a dog shark hybrid. The head is very canine in appearance. Most of them are like this except with paws added, but true shark anthros exist.

I don't know why this and the Vaporeon thread keep disappearing from catalog.
