1. First, The Dragon looks like a Chinese Dragon while Maleficent is more like an Medieval-European dragon type.

2. The Dragon said he lost his daughter. When Mal lost lily he wasn't around, so it seems to me that The Dragon did something to lose his daughter which it wouldn't make sense at all in Lily's case.

3. I don't think that The Dragon being Mulan's father would lead to an unnecessary story. Actually, I think it would make sense (because they seem to be both chinese), we are in the season of untold stories and maybe we would finally be able to see Mulan's backstory which can be rapped up in one or two episodes if done properly. Also, Mushu being the Dragon and Mulan's father sounds like a twist Once would do, but only time will tell.

4. He seems a lot older than Maleficent, I can't quite picture them together as a couple in Human nor Dragon form, it seems like a big leap.

5. If Maleficent didn't knew Lily's father, then I don't think her father does even know that he was a daughter.
 * 1) I'm pretty sure dragons are open to interracial mating lol I can't think of a single reason why a Chinese dragon and a European one wouldn't be able or willing to breed.
 * 2) Maleficent lost Lily literally before she hatched out of her egg, so there was no time for the Dragon to be there with Lily. He might have been busy with dragon/healer business, and he probably would've gone to see Lily as soon as the egg hatched. It would make perfect sense for him to feel guilty about not being able to stop Snow and Charming from stealing the egg.
 * 3) The Dragon being Mulan's father because they're both Asian (because no, Mulan is not chinese on OUaT) makes just as much sense as Archie being Pinocchio's dad because they're both red heads, or Lancelot being Rapunzel's brother because they're both black.
 * 4) Maleficent is said to be centuries old if I remember correctly (either that, or completely unageing). Also, Maleficent's actress is only 4 years younger than the Dragon's actor. Just compare them to Rumbelle; Belle's actress is 20 years younger than Rumple's actor.
 * 5) The Dragon recognized August Booth as Pinocchio, and he knew exactly what was happening to him. He recognized Gold as Rumplestiltskin and he knew that he was the son of Peter Pan, which I'm pretty sure is not a well-known fact. He even knew about Storybrooke, and he knew Henry had destroyed its magic (and the characters weren't surprised, even tho none of them told him about it)... And still, you doubt he could know something as simple as him having a daughter? xD
