User:ShadowDragon343/Dragons Around The World

Around the World whether it be in forests, fields or in urban areas; dragons can be found. Here is a list telling the name and the location with a link. W for Western, four legs and a pair of wings. Y for Wyvern, a pair of legs and wings. E for Eastern, four legs. M for Amphithere, a pair of wings. A for Aquatic, legless.

=Europe= Europe mainly contains winged dragons with a large number being portrayed as being killed by a dragonslayer. An area stretching from Hungary to Wales has a particularly high concentration of located dragon outdoor dragon illustrations which alone cannot be explained by variations in geotagged photo coverage. Geograph has provided excellent geotagged coverage of dragons in the United Kingdom to where there may only be a few dragons left to find there. South of this high density area is a near complete absence of located outdoor dragon illustrations with Iberia being the exception with a moderate density of them. Germany likely has a much higher number of dragons, however, due to the cancellation of google streetview plans there, a massive number of dragon illustrations are unfindable there. Areas northeast of the high density area up to near the Urals have a light density of found dragon figurines.

Wales
=East Asia= East Asia mainly consists of wingless dragons. Due to lower technology availibility, many dragons cannot be located. In areas like China and Vietnam, government restrictions prevent the ability to locate dragon illustrations with google streetview. With these 2 factors, much of the area likely has hundreds of dragons that have not been located. Only in the high tech island and peninsular nations have dragons been found in high density. Outside these small coastal nations, the density of found dragons outside Thailand is low.

Vietnam
=Other parts of the world= Parts of the World outside East Asia, Europe, and the US. Aside from Canada which is an extension of the density area of the US, they are sparsely located with at least a thousand miles separating individual dragons in many cases. Main reasons being low living standards, conflict, religious aniconism, government restrictions, and low population density.

United Arab Emirates
=United States= The United States is placed in it's own category due to it's sheer size and overall moderate density of discovered dragons. The dragons do not follow any particular cultural trend as far as the type of dragon. The density of dragons is higher in the northeast and midwest with the south being barren outside the Applachians and Texas. A line extending from Kansas to Los Angeles is the only area outside the Pacific Coast in which dragons have been found in the western half of the country. Of note is an isolated particularly high density of discovered dragon illustrations in Florida rivaling the high density area of western Europe many of which are related to tourist attractions. Due to the mainly asthetic nature of the dragons, few pictures exist of them on Wikimedia Commons. Much like East Asia there are likely many more dragons to be found but due to the size of the US, many have not been found.

Wisconsin
=Number by country=

=Dragons that have passed on= These are illustrations of dragons that are no longer there because they have been moved and the location is unknown, demolished, or destroyed by natural disasters.
