The Legend

Dragons are mythical beings found in folklore around the world, typically resembling snakes and often possessing features of various animals, such as wings and claws. In almost every culture, dragons are recognized as powerful and awe-inspiring entities. In East Asia, dragons are generally considered positive beings, with Chinese dragons viewed as rulers of rain, seas, and other forms of water. The drakon of ancient Greece is depicted as a large serpent with supernatural qualities, often defeated by heroes or gods in mythology, but described as a gentle being associated with healing and wealth in rituals. In Western traditions, dragons are portrayed as embodiments of evil associated with death, often depicted as fire-breathing creatures.
