Dragons
What is a dragon? I guess that depends on who you talk to. The word itself has been used to strike fear in nearly every person as they imagined themselves confronted with a huge dragon, inhaling as much air as possible, getting ready to burn you to the ground. Some will say it is a creature that doesn't exist except in the minds and fantasies of humankind. Other will say that it is a mysterious, magical creature long gone from our world. Most will tell you that it's a legendary animal that existed in the folklore and stories of Europe and Asia. They are described as being large and quite lizard like. That they breathe fire and have scaly, long tails. If you believe those legends of Europe, the dragons are ferocious beasts. Creatures to be avoided at all costs, or killed upon sight. Yet if you read the accounts from Asian stories they are generally considered to be friendly and that they will bring good luck and wealth.
In most legends that come from Europe, dragons were said to live in very wild, remote areas of the world. Supposedly they held treasures within their dens and they guarded them passionately. If however, a person killed the dragon, he was said to gain all of it's treasure and wealth.
