There is more evidence supporting  the stone dragon is an actual surviving Ancient Dragon, the first one is the dialog of Domhall stating the rumor of a surviving dragon, the second one it is when you make a convenant with him "Pray to the Everlasting Dragon", the final piece of evidence is the name of the soundtrack played in Ash Lake "The Ancient Dragon". I got another theory about him, the head of the dragon is very small to its body and he gives you the Dragon head and torso stone, also the purpose of the convenant it is to become a dragon, this makes me believe that the dragon is someone that successfully became a dragon using the stones.

Based on the form of the Gaping dragon and the description on the Greataxe, the gaping dragon is not a dragon anymore it is a serpent, it is deformed with ravenous hunger, it fits with the description of a serpent: it is an imperfect dragon and have an associaton with gluttony
