1) ants are called emmets in heraldry, that doesn’t mean they’re different from ants.

2) also they’re called pismires which is just embarrassing, really.

3) hang on, what was I talking about?

People using Zilant as a body-type name for dragons like these:

Forelegs and wings, no hindlegs.

I'm fine enough with it when it's being done in a specific setting with specific rules, but I see people online with absolute certainty say that Zilant is the name for this type of dragon the same way Drakes have no wings and Wyverns* have wings and hindlegs.

The Zilant is a specific dragon from a specific mythology; not a body type. It only became a body type in my living memory (I'm like 90% sure a friend of mine invented it for his own setting, then I guess everyone else just assumed it was general lore).
