Could you get an animal that resembles a European dragon if you said it has three sets of limbs (IE arms, legs and wings) because it derived a set of limbs from it's fish ancestors anal fins, in addition to those from the pectoral & pelvic fins?

one of the main ways we know European dragons never really existed is they tend to be illustrated with four legs and two wings, and Tetrapods only ever have at most four limbs (not counting tails).

What if you said dragons evolved from a totally separate group of land vertebrates that converted more than just the pectoral & pelvic fins into legs?

I just got my second clown yesterday and just now realized it doesn’t have any pelvic fins? Looks like just a little nub of one. Is this from aggression at the store or some kind of birth defect maybe? Is there something I should do for it? Any help greatly appreciated! reddit.com/gallery/qtcrq4

TIL that there are a total of 9 'walking shark' species collectively called Epaulette sharks. These sharks are 3-feet long and live in Australia. Epaulette sharks move their pectoral fins in the front and pelvic fins in the back to plod along the seafloorβ€”or even atop coral reefs, outside the water. oceanicsociety.org/resour…
