What about the whales in the real world? They evolved from four-legged creatures.

No legs? Oh, you mean Yama Tsukami. As I mentioned, he's the descendant of a jellyfish or squid, and not a true Elder Dragon.

And all of these creatures would have evolved separately. It wouldn't be, like you said, four legs --> six legs --> no legs --> and so on. An example: Jinouga --> Lunastra --> Yama --> Ceadeus --> Kirin. That wouldn't happen, all of those creatures would evolve from the same ancestor (a Teostra-like creature), except, as mentioned, Kirin and Yama Tsukami.

And I'm pretty sure that no Elder Dragon has six legs. Four legs and two wings maybe, but six legs? No.
