sure, here's a description of the Royal Dragon (which is almost a reptile):

The royal dragon is a rather large creature, with the length from the nose to the base of the tail being roughly 12 feet. Despite its large size, it actually has a very lightweight form; it moves in a floaty manner, almost like a balloon animal. Its tail is about 8 feet long.

The royal dragon has a normal lizard-like build, perhaps most similar to the bearded dragon. Instead of normal limbs, however, it has large membrane wings--the front each have two claws for climbing, while the back are clawless but have pads where the "foot" would be. The top sides of the wings are covered by sheets of leathery skin resembling feathers, while the bottoms are smooth with the fingers clearly visible through the membrane (think like a bat).

The royal dragon has more of those sheets of leathery skin resembling feathers all over its back and down its tail, creating a "tuft" at the tail's tip. However, it does not have this on its head; the face is smooth all over just like its underside, with the divide between the smooth and the rough being a brilliant frill like that of a frilled-neck lizard. The face is shaped like that of a leopard gecko, and its lips are lined by sharp tooth-like points. It has two large eyes with slit pupils.

The royal dragon can be any color, depending on where it was incubated, though it regularly has extra vibrant colors on its wings and tail. Its gemstone is always located somewhere on its back, centered on its spine. The stone is generally smooth and slightly oblong running parallel with its body, with the most common shapes being egg, teardrop, oval, pill, and football.
