I'm currently having a debate with my friend and my girlfriend about the Dragons of Skyrim. They are both convinced that they are Wyverns, a sub-species of dragon, because of their structural design (4 limbs instead of 6).
What do you think?

Considering that the concept of what constitutes a dragon is as diverse as the innumerable cultures that came up with the vaguely similar concept... Yes they are dragons. The concept of dragons were called "dragons" by the ancient Europeans that came up with the idea of giant flying lizard. Asia doesn't have the monopoly on dragon lore. One leg or infinite legs, doesn't matter. Also, they are considered dragons in-universe, which means that in the game culture, they are just dragons.
