The Fanged Wyvern point is good. But I'll go by game canon here and think that Jinouga has since evolved from the furry psuedowyvern line; its got the fur and the underdeveloped wing spikes. Akantor and Ukanlos are the same way, just more reptilian. So they're probably from the Tigrex line. Of course, they could also be a dying species, due to their more advanced forms(the psuedowyverns), being more adept. If you want to think of it that way.

Still, the whole notion of all the elder dragons evolving from Fanged Wyverns is ridiculous. I mean, look at Chameleos. It's my theory that Chameleos is becoming more and more terrestrial; slowly devolving wings, bigger, stronger legs, bigger eyes/jaw, the whole invisibility shitck, a less streamlined tail. So why would he evolve wings just to get rid of them? Of course you could say he was evolving them, but whatever. I'll stick with my separate lines theory for the Elder Dragons. It's more sensical, considering Kirin and Yama and Fatalis and Chameleos.

Ceadeus is definitly a mammal, I'll concede that. It's got the fur, the fin structure, the tail and what appears to be vestigial nubs. So yeah. Teo and Luna you have to chalk up to Capcoms design crew. They literally have no use for the fur. Capcom just wanted them to look like lions.

Additionally, its even more unlikely that EDs evolved from Fanged Wyverns because of their wing structure. Fanged Wyverns have their little wing spikes goin' on, so in the end evolution considers it easier for wings to start at that point. You've got an existing structure and an existing joint to place the wing on. Why grow an entirely new joint on in the spine?
