  • A mythological beast, usually described as a reptilian animal with
    wings and a tail. They have the ability to fly and breathe fire. They have long been associated with magic as well. They love gemstones and have hoarde caches of jewels and other precious things. Knights have often been depicted as fighting and slaying dragons, but there were also said to be great guardian dragons, protectors of the weak and bringers of good luck. Although many cultures have viewed the dragon as a fearsome creature, associated with evil, in ancient China, it symbolized"courage, and the Emperor, and the country itself, as well as the heroic spirit in general."
