(A platypus may be able to lay an egg, but there are no 6-legged reptiles that i know of.)
A dragon with 4 limbs (2 legs and 2 wings with bat-like claws) would be more in line with the rest of earth's creation.
Of course, that doesn't stop the 4-legs-2-wings tradition. Anne McCaffrey, the 'Queen of Dragons', describes 6-limbed dragons in her books.
