Shouldn't you rather alias to spiral_horn? Bongo antelope has spiral horns ( Reference: https://e6ai.net/posts?tags=bongo_%28antelope%29 ). The one post with bongo_horn is incorrectly tagged anyway - there is no Bongo in the image and no bongo_horn.
Horns are not just horns, there are many different types of horns and it would be a mistake not to have tags for them. But I agree that we don't need bongo_horn tag, spiral_horn is fine.

you don't have to have a ram to tag a photo with ram_horns
Bongo horns are pointing backward and very slightly curved / wavy. Antelopes have straight horns that's gazelles
Antelopes horn are ribbed and more twisted

yeah, the example of bongo I had were way way less spirally. Even the images on wikipedia don't suggest bongo horns are that spirally.
The thing is that "draconic" horns is not a real thing, each dragon/draconic creature borrows from existent horn to some extends. The post tagged with bongo horn contains horns that are between Bongo horn and Anoa horn
except, almost all images I can get from anoas are straight

Yeah, I know it's not super obvious if you just look at a photo of a Bongo. But these horns are already twisted at the base and this twist continues, ultimately resulting in a spiral horn (more prominent in male individual).
Bongo are literally called spiral-horn antelopes and there is even a tag on the site for that (spiral-horned_antelope). And this tag is implied by bongo_(antelope). Other closely related species like Kudu have even more prominent spiral horns.
So you see bongo_horn would be a very specific tag. If one would want to tag a dragon anthro or any other species with it, the specific twist characteristic for bongo horns would have to be present. And I don't see that in this image, so the tag is wrong in the first place. These are just horns that are slightly curved backwards. So one could add curved_horn instead.
So I would still say bongo_horn would need to be aliased to spiral_horn. If that is not acceptable for some reason at least alias to the next broader category which would be bovid_horn.

It's perfectly reasonable knowing what you told me. I'm just curious what to call this chape since it comes back so often.
