    Scalies are also part of the furry community. Furry is a generic term describing anthropomorphic animals as well as non-human characters as a whole. It doesn’t mean they’re limited to having only fur.

    Furry as a subculture isnt about furred creatures necessarily. Its about anthropomorphism and intelligent animal characters more broadly, and dragons both can be designed anthropomorphically or just generally tend to be intelligent in a good fraction of media. The association with fur for the name probably just comes from mammals being extremely popular animals to base character designs off of, if I had to guess.
