Dragons have wings, they're just to heavy to fly. My perception and that of many mythologies, at least. DF uses those perceptions of dragons.

I've actually wondered this too. Tried almost all combinations of commands but still no luck.

Because there is no control linked to the use of special attacks (firebreath, venomous bites, etc.), and none is currently programmed. Eventually Toady will give us controls for that, but you'll have to wait for now.

Maybe someone could make a dfHack utility that allows it though.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

It's possible that Toady will add it quite soon - he's been thinking about adding combat aiming (so you can choose where to attack) and hopefully this will also include a way to choose how to attack. So you can bite people in the head, then set their feet on fire.
