The '''Draconoid''' are a [[Superorder]] of [[Vertebrata|vertebrates]] that diverged from early [[Chordata|chordate]] ancestors prior to the evolution of the [[Tetrapoda|tetrapodal]] line. Unlike most vertebrates, Draconoids evolved a stable '''hexapodal body plan''', possessing three pairs of limbs—forelimbs, hindlimbs, and wings. Though many descendant species have shed one or more limb pairs, they remain classified under the same superorder due to shared skeletal, muscular, and neurological traits. | The '''Draconoid''' are a [[Superorder]] of [[Vertebrata|vertebrates]] that diverged from early [[Chordata|chordate]] ancestors prior to the evolution of the [[Tetrapoda|tetrapodal]] line.
