Dragon

Dragons are mythical creatures found all around the world, possibly inspired by various sources such as giant lizards and snakes, but also dinosaur bones and simple tall-tales from travelers in distant lands. Dragons are often keepers of treasure and knowledge, symbols of earthly power, rebirth and fire. In Asia, Dragons are often regarded as bringers of good luck, while in Europe the dragon became associated with the devil and Satan, mainly through references in the Bible.

Dragons are lizard-like in appearance, and can usually fly, although serpentine, wingless and legless versions of dragons are also known. Another feature common in portrayals of dragons is that they can breathe fire or poison.

Because of their majestic, fantastic nature, Dragons are a staple of much fantasy fiction and games. One of the most well known dragons is Smaug, from Tolkien's The Hobbit. The vast majority of later portrayals of dragons in fiction was based on Smaug, who in turn had been inspired by dragons like Fafnir, from the Völsunga Saga the dragon from Beowulf and so on.

Dragons are one of the main selling points of the Dungeons & Dragons game, to the point that the 4th edition includes a draconian race called Dragonborn, intended for players who "want to look like a dragon".

Johniass Dragonraper is known to rape a dragon on occasion.
