Queen of dragons

I'm trying to understand this and I don't want to be wrong. I have iguanas and I refer to them has my dragons.. I've fallen into the habit of calling them dragon in dovahzul. So what I was wondering is if I'm just talking about one of them it dovah but if I'm talking about two of them would it still be dovah or would it just be dov. If I were to say these are my dragons would it be these are my dov?

Thanks for your question! Dov refers to "the race of dragons" as a whole; for example, "The dov were made to dominate" or "The nature of the dov is eternal." Dov wouldn't refer to multiple dragons, like "These dov are fighting."

For that, you can just use dovah or the plural dovahhe. Dragon nouns can be their own plural, so both "These are my dovah" and "These are my dovahhe" would be correct.
