Well the fur bit is probably a design aspect, but I'd reckon it's either:

1) used as a sort of mating thing.

2) warms the blood flow, since it is a massive creature and that neck hood is both wide and long. Whales have all that fat on them, unlike Ceadeus, so perhaps it needs it.

Yeah. And I hold out saying that most, if not all, the Elder Dragons are separate lines.
