If there is one mythical beast that everyone knows, it is the dragon. They are world wide. From the West we have the evil monsters. From the East; benevolent forces of nature. And in between; great serpents, giant wyrms, and other powerful reptiles.

They are symbols of power. Some rulers claimed to be descended from them. They were claimed to be the embodiment of Satan. Some helped create the world, others will destroy it. And even in these "more enlightened" times, people still say they see them.
