However before that, 2-leged dragons was a thing, and it continued to be a thing everywhere else, as it was only on the British Isles they had this distinction.

When it comes down to it, it is whatever the creator/author says it is. In this case they called it a dragon, so it's a dragon. Wyverns are techically still dragons anyway, just a lesser kind. You hit the nail right on the head.

And yet, one thing that I always fail to understand is why do this things have to be exactly like it says in some relatively obscure reference, especially when it is a mythological creature.
