It would be interesting if they kept the "Dos" on the name for both Dromes and Greats, or just used Dromes for all of them ... although, I'm not sure if that would work ... Jaggidrome.

Anyway, the name is not the reason why I, one of the ever present nerds, differentiate the Dromes and the Greats. Even though they fit the same function, and are equivalent to each other, they have enough differences on their movement, behavior and design to make them separate groups, even if they had the same name on the localisations. The Dromes have the skinny, classic naked-raptor looks, they move in sharp, straight movements. The greats have a less skinny, less raptor look, and bouncy movements, closer to the other wyverns. At least that is how I see them.
