      Well, how about if you change the Quetzalcoatl image?  It really

Hm okay, I can change the quetzal's image and the race
(to animal, or reptile). Then call the new thing "dragon" directly
and the old thing remains being called quetzal.

Only problem: I need a new quetzal-image to do that.
I would draw it if I could, but I'm afraid a birdlike snake
is way byond my skills.

What you say is true and I agree. But the bad thing about the old
Quetzal is that players used it to run through certain fire-maps and
grab a few artifacts for their other, "real" character.

But okay, I admit it's not that critical.
If I had an image for it, I'd do what you asked for.
