The Dragon, typically depicted as a large and powerful reptile or serpent with magical or spiritual qualities, is one of the few, if not the only mythological creature to be known around the globe. Some dragon enthusiasts believe that the dragon may have had a real-life counterpart from which the legends around the world have been based. Some have said that they are possibly sightings of surviving dinosaurs.  This description came from eviltattoo.com.

The dragon is a legendary creature with serpentine or otherwise reptilian traits that features in the myths of many cultures.

The two most familiar interpretations of dragons are European dragons, derived from various European folk traditions, and the unrelated Oriental dragons, derived from the Chinese dragon . The word “dragon” derives from Greek ?????? (drak?n), “a serpent of huge size, a python, a dragon” and that from ??????? (drakein) aorist infinitive active of the verb ???????? (derkomai) “I see clearly”.

Description

Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from its mouth. The European dragon has bat-type wings growing from its back. A dragon-like creature with no front legs is known as a wyvern. Following discovery of how pterosaurs walked on the ground, some dragons have been drawn without front legs and using the wings as front legs pterosaur-fashion when on the ground, as in the movie Reign of Fire.
