scalie

Scalie is a term used within certain subcultures to refer to individuals who have a strong interest in reptilian or draconic creatures. This interest can manifest in various ways, including art, writing, role-playing, and online communities. The term is derived from "scale," a characteristic feature of reptiles and dragons.

Scalies often express their interest through the creation and appreciation of characters that possess reptilian traits. These characters, sometimes referred to as "furries" or "scalies" depending on the specific creature type, can be anthropomorphic dragons, lizards, snakes, or other scaled animals. The focus is typically on the aesthetic and imaginative aspects of these beings.

The scalie subculture is largely online, with dedicated forums, social media groups, and art-sharing platforms where individuals can connect, share their creations, and discuss their interests. This digital space allows for the exploration and expression of identity and creativity centered around reptilian themes. It is important to note that the term and the interests associated with it are not universally understood and are specific to certain communities.
