Reason: This was prompted by seeing dragoness on several posts, so I went and ported these from e621 along the way. dragonness (Two Ns, potential misspelling version), dragon_boy, dragon_pred, and smaller_dragon are new aliases I included, based on some of the other existing aliases here.

You might notice dragon_girl is missing here. That one's currently in the invalid_tag corrections BUR.

Kirins are not dragons

It's from e621, and the reason is this:

Having both species imply dragon (kirin and longma) as they are, by definition, dragon hybrids. Longma is a horse-dragon, so also implying mythological_equine. Kirin can't imply anything else, since it is variously depicted as a dragon mixed with either a horse, a deer, or occasionally an ox or goat.

I don't think that's necessarily wrong from a definition standpoint. "Dragon" can be quite different depending on the context, of course.

I'll remove that line for now then, and if someone else feels more strongly about it later, then they can push for it.

I mean, I don't feel strongly one way or the other now. I searched to back my point and found nothing. Most sources goes to say they either look like, or are dragons
