Since my progress topic was derailed so I'd rather shunt actual ideas back to here.
I'm currently toying around with an anthropomorphic setting with humanoid foxes, otters, salamanders, etc.
In this setting, dragons exist, but I'm thinking about dividing them into two categories : Trueborn and Ascended.
Trueborn Dragons are born at birth as dragons.
However, all creatures who are of the reptile phylum have the chance (so salamanders, alligators, chameleons, snakes, etc.), over their lifetime, to evolve through inner strength and study, and become a Dragon, gaining wings, fangs, and other doohicketies that are unique to each Dragon. Dragons don't age, but they are killed.
