Good point. Here I'm clearly talking about "common" dragons, but my
understanding is that copyright law would protect the unique expression
that WoTC *added* to the common definition of a dragon. Meaning the
specific text used to describe a dragon, the specific artwork (as in you
can't make a reproduction to use in your book), statblocks, etc.

If they reimagined the dragon in the same way they reimagined the
hobgoblin then the delta represented between their version and the
common version should be protected.

That's my take on it.
