What is a Dragon?

Dragons are not real animals; they are mythical creatures that appear in stories, legends, and cultures around the world, such as Chinese, European, and other mythologies. They are often depicted as large, scaled, flying, reptilian creatures that breathe fire or have magical powers. Since they do not exist in nature, they do not fit the biological definition of animals. However, they are sometimes inspired by real animals, such as snakes, crocodiles, or dinosaurs, which explains their animalistic features in stories.

Based on this description, the Dragon theme was introduced as a separate theme for stamps.
This gives collectors the ability to place Dragons here and not with Animals or Stylized Animals.
