But what is the dragon

For thousands of stories and myths have existed about the millennial struggle between man and dragon.

But what is the dragon?

According to the Oxford English Dictionary:

Dragon drag'en, cultured pearl jewelry, mythical creatures are often depicted as a giant fire-breathing reptile with huge claws and tail of the serpent, wings and scaly skin.

Dragons oral, written, and as long as we remember, singing.

But they never existed?

Are they fact or fiction?

Did they fire the big, beautiful, majestic, breath of mythical beasts live forever?

Or stories, myths and legends, without merit or truth?

Many people claim that dragons are being conventional, are distorted by fears, fantasies and psychological tendencies of groups of people or are they due to some sort of dinosaur or dinosaurs. But there are many references to dragons in the Bible and mythology, and he said that with the advent of Christianity and the Crusades, the age of dragons had been discontinued.

Therefore, if we recognize that the Bible tells the truth about Christianity and God, then why not dragons?

Christianity brought the Crusades and with them came the knights who hunted and killed threatened to bring the dragons to their decline and possible extinction.

It is this knight of honor and courage that the thirst for fame and fortune to kill a dragon for its leather and wealth, and often just for sport.

They say that dragon's blood for its magical properties, such as legends, when applied to the skin of the owner is to protect against accidents, according to estimates.

Other legends say that if you have your language, you've won all the arguments (which I often wish that I could do at home!) And eat his heart gave you the opportunity to understand the birds do not know why you're wrong. ..

That would be as many kinds of kites in the shape, size and color as the other creatures of the gods hover around us. Some of the most common are documented and written by:

Dragon of the West

In general, the Dragon of the West is long and thick, four strong legs, large claws on the legs, two wings, long neck and is usually spit fire. According to some legends and stories about dragons West also had the opportunity to change their shape and color, but I expect it's probably more ability chameleon "Shape Shifter" was.

Usually eat once a month instead of feeding cattle or sheep, but sometimes there are people, especially when the man was a particularly unpleasant or threatening.

Oriental dragon

There were three different families of Eastern dragons that looked very similar, but came from different parts of the world. All were serpentine bodies and four legs, but unlike the Western dragon is not a fire breathing. They said they are the body of a snake, scales of carp, pearl beads, clam belly, paws and claws of an eagle, a lion, the horns of a giant stag, head of the camel, the eyes and ears of a rabbit, like a bull.

Legends tell us that they have 117 scales, 81 with yang, good and 36 with yin, the bad and they both equal temperament and personality.

The main difference between the three different families of Eastern dragons, the number of fingers.

Japanese dragon said that three fingers, Korean or Indonesian Dragon four and a Chinese dragon five.

Eastern dragons are usually under the livestock is a pearl in their paws or mouth, as if the pearl that was their unique abilities and let them ascend to heaven.

Ascension into heaven? I hear you ask.

But it is not an evil dragon, a viscous killer?

Not at all.

Since each of the creatures of God, they are often very docile and quiet, if provoked. Glad to live in peace and go home, was, as always, but unfortunately, they got that reputation, through evil deeds of their masters, who have been trained and domesticated them, or if they try their own land or property to protect.

Hardly reason to declare them evil. wishes in fact a lot of legends and myths of the dragon type is good for mankind. But that's another story ..

Dragon of the East is well documented in the world, and is described as friendly, intelligent and good.

Oriental dragon is also closely associated with the weather and the legend says that some of the worst flooding occurred in Asia, when a man upset a dragon.

These images are usually of a yellow dragon, the upper more.

Who, except the emperor bore the dragon symbol was executed five fingers!

And this:

Wyvern (Wi-vurn) Dragon

The dragon was the European Wyvern Dragon, and generally only two front legs, but he also said the two claws on the end of it have wings, even the fact that the "hand".

Wyvern dragon is also said to "insult" to the end of the tail filled with poison, like a scorpion.

In most reports, this dragon seems to come from Europe and are the subject of many legends and fables as a whole on the continent.
