    Huh, well that solves it. Related question, what the heck is up with dragon naming conventions? Isgebind, Aiatar, Gowrow, there doesn't seem to be a strong naming convention like with the other beast tribes or races.

    Now there's a mystery. Isgebind means "fetters of ice" and is seemingly related to a term from Beowulf (winter yþe beleac isgebinde / winter locked them in icy fetters). Aiatar is from Finnish folklore, Gorynich is from Slavic folklore, so is Chudo Yudo, Gowjow is from US folklore, Lampalagua is from Spanish folklore and shares a name with the Boa constrictor, Maracco is from Catalan folklore. Soooo.... I'm keen to think the naming convention for dragons is picking up some type of Encyclopedia of Obscure Monsters of the World, flipping to Dragons, Serpents, and Reptilians and looking for something that vaguely fits with the mob you're working on.
