Etymology
Coined and conceived in 2009 by costume and fursuit designer Deanna "Ino" Biesemeyer, from Dutch (“a male given name”) + angel + dragon. So-called because the fictional characters are guardian angels and ostensibly resemble dragons, and named after (and inspired by) her late palomino gelding horse, Dutch, who died in 2006.
