But none of the paravians has wings (except for Opdagon's Ovoraptor, which doesn't look like a dinosaur at all), which are the main criteria of Draco. Plus, dragons aren't that lizard like, as most of them have their legs under their body, like dinosaurs and mammals. Also, pterosaurs significantly resemble wyverns: dragons with two legs and two limbs, sometimes even depicted with beaks. Although I must admit original wyverns were much more serpentine and didn't posess beaks, their limb structure was still remniscent of pterosaurs. Plus, mythology doesn't matter that much in the taxonomy project: most creatures are completely fictional and as such, despite commonly inspired in real-life creatures and legends, are rarely represented exactly like their real-world counterparts.

Also, "they are covered in fluff unlike any other on Earth" is something that doesn't affect the creature itself, but it's real-life counterpart. Opdagon's Sordes doesn't seem to posess it, and I still see no fluff in Aliudipter, besides those black stripes on its limbs. And if that fluff resembled hair, we would have a reason to put them inside Pelycosauria or Therapsida instead of giving them their own taxon.
