Dragons
Dragons are a mythological creature which was created through the ages by stories and legends. They have reptilian features and have been known as fire breathers. There are two distinct cultural traditions of dragons: the European dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese dragon, with counterparts in Japan, Korea and other East Asian countries. The dragon is best known in legendary history as the monster whose purpose was to be slain and give knights riches, fame and a title selected by the king. There is a legend of St. George and the Dragon and also the dragon that was slain by Sir Lancelot, one of the knights of King Arthur 's Round Table.

China still strongly believes in dragons and how they contribute to their world. Being part of the chinese zodiac, architect and traditional wear makes dragons a very sacred part of China. They celebrate Chinese new year with dragons all the time.

The Dragon stories and myths have altered in modern years. Some authors take the original myth of dragons and add twists to them. This especially shown in DreamWorks Dragons where we see dragons in a new perspective. Instead of fire breathing killers we see them as family.

Dragons are also a source of creative inspiration. There is tons of fan-made art, games, magnificent pieces of literature and some people even dedicate themselves to making website pages. Such as this one http://dragonsiride.weebly.com/index.html.
