Why is Goodra known as the Dragon Pokemon? (Does not fit)?

Question

I know it is a dragon-type, but I am not talking about that. I'm talking about why it is known as the Dragon Pokemon. Just look at it. Too fat, too slimy, and too weird.

Answer 1

Now, Goodra is a Dragon type Pokemon. There's nothing wrong about that. However, I think I know why it is a Dragon type. Let's look at its Pre-Evo, Goomy.

 When you look at Goomy, it looks like a slime or a slug, right? Well, it turns out that Game Freak actually based it off the Blue Dragon Sea-Slug.
 Since Goomy is a Dragon type, there's no point replacing it's evolution with a different type, so I guess Game Freak made Goodra pure Dragon because of that. 
 Plus, the Pokedex Species for Goodra is the Dragon Pokemon.

Nice answer, I also wondered why Goodra was a Dragon type +1

Answer 2

The only accurate answer would be because Gamefreak wanted it to be like that. However Sliggoo shares some similarities with Dragonair which is also a Dragon-type. But, Goodra does look a bit like a Dragon to me. Dragon Tail, Dragon Hands, just ignore the goo falling out of it's hands and mouth. But it does look a bit too cute for a dragon-type.

Yeah, that is the only answer possible.
