Huh? Their buoyancy will push them upwards regardless of what side up
they are in the water, and I haven't assigned them a magical lifting
ability. If you mean, using wings or legs to push downwards, that's what
birds do, it just takes a fairly substantial amount of work, making it
fatiguing, whereas a water dragon can probably just float mostly
submerged at minimal energy expenditure.
As I recall, your workup of a dragon included a lift component from the
body as well as the wings. That lift should still be there in water, so
I was wondering if it was significant enough that turning upside down so
the lift worked downwards would help at all. I suspect not, but I
thought I'd ask.
