archanean divine dragons, the tribe of Naga, are one of the dragon clans that once reigned supreme over Archanea. they reigned supreme among dragonkind, likely owing to their fangs and their fog breath, which are especially strong against other dragons. they were also the first to realize the looming crisis of degeneration, and pushed to adapt to a life among humankind. the process was far from frictionless, but they ultimately became steadfast allies of humanity, who in turn revered them as divine beings.
the laguz are denizens of Tellius with the ability to shift between a humanoid form, and an animal form. they can be grouped broadly as beast tribe laguz, bird tribe laguz, or dragon tribe laguz. the latter, naturally, have the ability to transform into dragons.
the dragon tribe laguz are typically native of the kingdom of Goldoa, one of the two eldest nations in Tellius; it's found in a rocky, isolated peninsula, and thusly a remote place, wherein outside contact is usually shunned. dragon laguz are extremly long-lived, as well as large and powerful; however, their births are few and slow, so their population lags behind that of other peoples.
black dragon laguz are the strongest, longest-lived and rarest of the dragon tribe. it's out of their kind that the royal family of Goldoa emerges.

wyverns are a staple of Fire Emblem worlds, almost always figuring as the war mounts of the renowned Wyvern Riders. sometimes, there's substantial lore behind it; other times, yeah, there are just huge flying lizards that people ride into battle, what are you gonna do about it?
a point of note is that modern fantasy tends to distinguish "wyverns" from true dragons, characterizing them specifically as two-legged, broad-winged, pointy-tailed, serpentine beasts. this distinction is first of all ahistorical, but in the context of Fire Emblem it's also the subject of some translation oddity. in the japanese text, wyverns are usually referred to as "flying dragons", and are not otherwise radically distinguished from other dragons in most settings where they appear. this also accounts for them having largely appeared as regular four-legged dragons in older titles, although newer titles have increasingly designed them to look more like the ideal "wyvern" form. it's likely that the "wyvern" terminology stems from Blazing Blade being the first internationalized Fire Emblem game, and Treehouse not quite wrapping their heads around the apparent contradiction of "flying dragons" still appearing in Elibe after the Scouring was supposed to have driven away all the dragons.
jugdrali wyverns inhabit the rocky wastelands at the southern side of the Thracian peninsula, and have become the feared steeds of the Thracian mercenaries. their existance is odd when considering that the Jugdral games take place in the same universe as Archanea, but before the degeneration of dragonkind earnestly kicked in, and the fact that dragonkind doesn't generally dwell in Jugdral is an important factor in its backstory. it is thusly hard to tell if Jugdral's wyverns are at all supposed to be of a kind with Archanea's.
the laguz are denizens of Tellius with the ability to shift between a humanoid form, and an animal form. they can be grouped broadly as beast tribe laguz, bird tribe laguz, or dragon tribe laguz. the latter, naturally, have the ability to transform into dragons.

the fell dragon of ylisse is Grima, a monster borne by evil experiments undertaken many thousand years ago in the since then ruined city of Thabes. it sought to destroy humanity, leading a cadre of his own human worshippers -- but it was sealed away. about 1000 years later, however, its remaining human worshippers managed to bring it back to life, and the destruction it wrought was bleak enough to warrant time travel to prevent. as well as a hefty dose of... bonds?
not from the skies nor from the depths of Thabes -- no one can stop the black dragon laguz! they've managed to advance to the final round, even though Goldoa will not move.

valentian necrodragons are one of the various kinds of Terror that have infested Valentia since the breaching of the Divine Accord. as with other kinds of Terror, that event seems to have exacerbated their population, but they also seem to have existed in some capacity well before then; at the very least, long enough for the cantor Dolth to specialize in summoning them, or for Kamui to develop a particular phobia to them. they are unable to attack with dragonbreath, and instead fight with their fangs and claws.
