That's what I say. The Elder dragon class is just a medley of powerful monsters, regardless of which category they really belong to. (Because as you mentionned the Dalamadur, it is a relative to Najarala, and is classified as an Elder because of its power). There nothing much more going on about elders, it's only about their power and not about their real classification
