A later reply, but here goes.

Let's see, Dragons are everlasting. The most "logical" speculation given the envidence we can see, is that they can be destoryed but not "killed".

Perhaps the scales of immortality keeps them moving but since their heads are destroyed, there are only legs left. It could be possible that in the attempt to creat the first flame, meaning a way to create life, re-energized/reanimated the legs to the point of movement that was imprinted in the muscle memory. That makes the most sense to me.

Btw, the "undead" dragons are not undead in that sense since they are more like moving corpses, since they certainly don't move like you do and with intelligence and purpose.

It's interesting that the "undead" "humans" in the game are more like western concepts of "zombies" (the living dead), and the "undead" dragons are more like Jianshi or (reanimated) stiff corpses. Both are not the same concepts.
