Enter the Dragon

Dragons are mythical creatures. They are usually shown as gigantic and powerful serpents or other reptiles with magical or spiritual qualities.

Like most mythological creatures, dragons are perceived in different ways by different cultures. Dragons are sometimes said to breathe and spit fire or poison as well as many other elements. They are commonly portrayed as serpentine or reptilian, hatching from eggs and possessing typically feathered or scaly bodies. Winged dragons are usually portrayed only in European dragons while Oriental versions of the dragon resemble large snakes. Dragons can have a variable number of legs: none, two, four, or more.

Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world. In many East Asian cultures dragons were revered as representative of the primal forces of nature, religion and the universe. They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans - and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech.
