Dutch angel dragon

Meanings

1. A fictional anthropomorphic (furry) creature adorned with fur and a horse-like body, rounded snout, avian wings, digitigrade legs and an elongated tail; they usually possess no digestive tract, sex organs nor the ability to speak, communicating only in chirps and squeaks.

Etymology

Coined and conceived in 2009 by costume and fursuit designer Deanna "Ino" Biesemeyer, from Dutch (“a male given name”) + angel + dragon. So-called because the fictional characters are guardian angels and ostensibly resemble dragons, and named after (and inspired by) her late palomino gelding horse, Dutch, who died in 2006.
