Introduction to Dragons:
There are legends and tales of Dragons all through history, in every country and on every continent. The term Dragon or Draco comes from the Greek word "Drakon" which means serpent or great worm.
There are several different species of Dragon: The most popular are European Dragons who dwell in deep mountain caves all over Europe, they have strong, muscular bodies, legs and arms. They fly on large bat-like wings. The other popular type is the Asian Dragon, a wingless serpent-like dragon with a lion-like head. Other species include: Knucker Dragons who live in marsh and swamp areas, in deep holes and tunnels. They are long, slim creatures with small wings, not suitable for flying. Lindworm Dragons who also reside in wetland areas in Asia. They are snake-like beings without wings or hind legs. Frost Dragons who live in arctic areas at either of the poles. They have large ocean-facing caves deep in the belly of the Earth to keep them warm. Wyvern Dragons who live in Africa, hidden in the plains under mounds of sand and soil. They are bird-like creatures with muscular bodies, hind legs that resemble birds claws and fly with feathered wings. Other Dragon species include (but are not limited to) the Pheonix, Gargoile/gargoyle, Amphithere, And Tibetan.
All Dragons are fire-breathing creatures. They hunt for food and treasure; hiding both deep within their caves, holes, caverns or mountains. Most species are private creatures who would prefer to be left alone, even though most modern accounts of Dragons depict them as terrible, human-eating beasts.
The Study of Dragons is a fascinating one, I hope this encourages you to do further research on your own.
