This kind of approach has been well developed by Macaffrey in The
Draongriders of pern series.
Persoanlly, the approach ot Dragon's I liek best was in the fantasy sectio
nopf the multi genre game TORG. It developed it much furtherb then they
did, but basicly dragons were elementals and inhearently magical.
In a world of undead and such this seems perfectly reasonable to me.
