Why do literally all dragons in all settings have exactly five limbs, never four or six or any other number, so that no author in all fiction has ever called something a dragon unless it had exactly five limbs?

In my experience it's either two legs, two wings and tail (sometimes called wyverns) or four legs, two wings and a tail.

But a tail isn't a limb you mongoloid.

>A limb (from the Old English lim), or extremity, is a jointed, or prehensile (as octopus arms or new world monkey tails) appendage

actually the standard european dragon has seven, as wings are limbs.

Asian dragons generally only have 5, and also some other dragons have 5.

Dragon tails typically aren't prehensile though.
