  After flipping the dragon (scaleX(-1)), the mouth sits at roughly:
    x ≈ 78% of the dragon image width from the container's left edge
    y ≈ 22% of the dragon image height from the top

  Dragon height ≈ min(88vh,820px). At 800px tall with 0.65 aspect (w:h=0.65):
    displayed width ≈ 520px  (800 * 0.65)
    left edge       ≈ clamp(-80px,-5vw,-20px) ≈ -50px at 1440vw

  So mouth x in viewport ≈ -50 + 520*0.78 ≈ 356px ≈ 25vw
     mouth y in viewport ≈ (50vh - 400) + 800*0.22 ≈ 50vh - 224px
