Which are a clade.Fish are always a bad example, as they're paraphylatic and so don't actually work in modern classification unless you include tetrapods. In which case the 'vertebrate' subphylum is basically the same thing as 'fish'.As for dragon classification, It drastically changes depending on if you're using 4 limbed or 6 limbed dragons. If you're using 6 limbed dragons, then there are actually lobed-fin fish with 6 lobes which exist irl. If one of those had crawled up onto land first rather than a 4 lobed fish, modern terrestrial vertebrates may have ended up with 6 limbs as a base, rather than 4.</blockquote>
