Then “superrex”, “ultima” or “superior” would work.

Going with “wrack” as it was used: ruina is latin for fall, destruction, downfall, ruination, overthrow
A Sea wrack dragon would be: Draco mare-ruina
A Forest wrack dragon would be: Draco silva-ruina
A Magma wrack dragon would be: Draco igneus-ruina

Hmmm...

You could use homoserpens as the species name, partnered with whatever it was we came up with earlier for magically created creatures.

Or you could use Homoserpens as a genus name, with subtypes with their own species names, like “major” for the purebloods, “nefas” for the abominations, and “hybrida” for the half-bloods.

There’s another subspecies that’s a big chested humanoid with 6 snakes for a head. Not sure what the common or scientific name would be though.
