Spikes:
Cut the ends off of more candy corns. (I found they didn't stick well if you tried to leave them whole)
Attach a scrap ball of fondant to to the cut end, and stick onto your dragon. I did the head and down the back, but be creative!
Note: If's its going to be a few days before you serve this, you may want to hold off on placing the spikes until the day of serving. I noticed the candy corn got a little soft, maybe because it got too warm)

Wing (3D):
Cut an approximate wing shape (see pics for the general shape) out of rolled fondant.
Attach a toothpick as shown in the picture. Smooth wing shape as necessary
Press the toothpick through the "skin" of the back at an angle, so the wing sticks up.
(For the back side of the dragon, i just stuck on the wing, so it hung down the back of the cake, no 3D effect)

Spots:
Using a large straw (like a big one from McDonalds), or something else circular, cut out circles, then stick them to the sides of the dragon whereever you like. I used a melon baller to cut out larger circles on the larger dragon.
