Dragon

Dragons are large reptilian creatures that appear in a variety of legends, movies, books, and video games.

Overview[]

The general criteria for a draconic creature vary by individual specimens. The movie "dragons" typically include reptilian features, large bat-like wings, extremely tough scales, and the ability to breathe fire. They are usually depicted as powerful beings, wise as they are fierce. In folklore, dragons are giant snakes (or eels in some cases), and are associated with supernatural knowledge and longevity. They are also a staple of the fantasy genre.
