Pernese dragons are warm-blooded, and therefore not reptiles, but comparing an alien species to Earth taxonomy is kind of pointless.

Chinese dragons are hard to classify. The have "nine resemblances," similarities with several other species of animal including snakes, carp, camels, and demons(?). And there's the story of the golden dragon, which was originally a koi.

Also, it's possible that dinosaur and whale bones had a huge influence on the origins of the various dragon myths. These days, dinosaurs are usually considered to be birds (or closely related), and whale are obviously mammals.

So does a dragon count as a reptile? Maybe...? *shrug*
