Loss of sensation over a region of the body.
Inability to move or function; total stoppage or severe impairment of activity: fear that led to national paralysis.

This is the definition of paralysis. Maybe it will help you out.

05-04-04, 02:01 PM When you are affected by a "Hold" spell, you are paralyzed (see the spell descriptions) as per the definition of paralyzed in the glossary of the PHB. Don't use a definition from a dictionary.

When you are under the effect of a Freedom of Movement spell, you are not affected by magic that causes paralysis.

Thus this dragon is not affected by a "Hold" spell, nor by any magical paralysis.

However, this doesn't mean that ALL dragons are not affected by magical paralysis.

Actually, anything with the Dragon type is immune to paralysis effects.
Take a look at the SRD here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/srd35) .
