I am more talking about modern fantasy and not historical fiction/exaggeration.

Language evolves and there is no reason that we can't invent new definitions/classifications of things that don't reflect previous nomenclature. Especially for fantasy where everything is made up.

I agree there is no one true definition but I think something like this is the accepted descriptions that is also reflected in other media like DnD. For example, alot of people say Skyrim got their dragons wrong (naming wise) because they are more akin to what people consider Wyverns.

Edit: Added (naming wise)
