      Well, exactly, for the base set, they are dead wrong.

Now I'm confused. Which dragons in which image set are
wrong in which context? :-)

I believe the base chinese and base elec dragon are in correct
perspective for the base set. Maybe not perfectly correct but
roughly. The bone drake however is flat which makes it fine for
alternate set and definitly wrong for base set.

I fully agree with Mark's description on how to fill up gaps
in the CF monster families. The idea of generally overhauling
dragons goes a little bit too far IMO.
By fundamentally changing the abilities of all dragons,
their difficulty and behaviour will change. This again will
cause an immense number of maps to change in a quite
unpredictable kind of way.

The idea of adding a possibly large bunch of new monsters
with copied, resized or otherwise mediocre graphics also
makes me feel, frankly, a bit uncomfortable.
