For thousands of stories and myths have existed for a millennium, the battle between men and dragons.
But what is a dragon?
According to the Oxford English Dictionary:
Dragons: A drag'en, a fabulous animal claws often portrayed as a gigantic fire breathing reptile with large, the tail of a serpent, wings and scaly skin.
Dragons were spoken, written and sung about as long as can be remembered.
But it be?
Areis fact or fiction?
He had this great life, beautiful, majestic, mythical fire breathing beasts ever?
Or are the stories a myth, legends, and without substance or truth?
Many people argue that the dragon on ordinary creatures, which are based on fears, fantasies and psychological tendencies of groups of people, falsified, or it was a species of dinosaurs or archosaurs. But there are many references to dragons in the Bible and mythology, and is said toIt was with the advent of Christianity and the Crusades, that age has brought the kite at the end.
Therefore, if we accept that the Bible tells us the truth about Christianity and God, then why not dragons?
Christianity brought the Crusades and with them came the knights, dragons chased and make their final ruin and destruction slaughtered.
It 'was this knight of honor and courage, lusted after fame and fortune to kill a dragonfor their leather and wealth, or simply for sport.
It is said that the blood was estimated Dragons for its magical properties as legends say that when he wiped the skin puncture wounds to protect the wearer.
Other legends say that when your tongue, you can win every argument (which I often wished I could do at home!) And food eaten in your heart you have the power to understand birds, not sure why but ...
Should have been so many different typesDragon vary in shape, size and color as any other creature of the gods around us. Some of the most common are documented and described:
The Western Dragon
Often described as evil and bloodthirsty the Western dragon has also been demonstrated that being a hoarder of gold and jewels.
Generally, the Western Dragon has a long and thick, four strong legs, large claws of the legs, two wings, a long neck and usually can breathe fire. According to some legends and historyWestern dragons also had the option of changing their shape and color, but I expect that this is probably more for the ability of a chameleon as "Shape Shifter" was.
Usually ate once a month instead of feed for livestock or sheep, but sometimes eat a human being, especially when he, the man was particularly unpleasant or threatening.
The Eastern dragon
There were three different families of Eastern dragons that looked very similar butfrom different parts of the world. They all had serpentine bodies and four legs, but unlike the Western dragon breath does not come on. You had the body of a snake, scales have a carp, belly of a clam, claws of an eagle, paws of a lion, a giant deer horn, the head of a camel, eyes and ears of a hare, like a bull.
Legends say that 117 scales, 81 had with Yang, the good and 36 with yin, also give them a bad temperament and personality.
The mainDifference between the three different families of Eastern dragons, the number of toes you have.
The Japanese dragon had only three toes, the Korean or Indonesian Dragon four and the Chinese dragon five.
Eastern dragons are projected or holding a pearl in the mouth or legs as this pearl for them was their unique powers and let them ascend to heaven.
Ascent to heaven? I hear you ask.
But they were not evil dragon, viscousMurderess?
Far from it.
As each of Gods creatures were often eager to learn and very quiet, unless provoked. Content to live in peace and go about her was when he had time, but unfortunately they got that reputation, through evil from their masters who had trained and domesticated, or if they seek their own land or property to be protected .
Hardly a justifiable reason for branding them evil. In fact, many myths and legends tell of the good kind of dragonHumanity. But that's another story ..
The Eastern dragon is probably the most documented in the world and is described as such, intelligent and good.
The Eastern dragon is also closely associated with time and legend has it that some of the worst floods in Asia, came as a mortal upset a dragon.
The Eastern dragon is typically represented or blue, black, red or yellow.
In China, dragons five fingers as the most powerful and most intelligent of allDragon and the imperial dragon, because it was forbidden for anyone other than the emperor, to show the image of a dragon with five toes on his clothes.
These images were usually of a yellow dragon, like most higher.
Who but the emperor, found the five-finger symbol of the dragon was put to death!
There are four main types of Chinese dragons, known as the lung:
Tien Lung, who protects the places of the gods andHeavenly Dragon.
The Shen-Lung, the dragon, the spiritual, the wind and rain checks
The Ti-Lung or Earth Dragon who controls the rivers and the water on earth
And this:
Fut's-Lung, the underworld, the guards of the Dragon-earth metals and precious stones.
The Wyvern (wi-vurn) Dragon
The flying dragon is a dragon, European, and usually only two front legs, although it was reported, had two claws at the end of the wings, which havealso "to act in his hands."
The flying dragon is also reported having "Stinger" full of poison, at the end of the tail much like a scorpion.
Most reports of this dragon seem to come from Europe and are the subject of many legends and fables of a whole on the continent.
Although this is in fact little known about the flying dragon, and much of its history remains a mystery.
The Faerie Dragon
Probably the rarest of all dragons is the FaerieDragon so named for its size and the legend was used by the fairies to travel between cities.
Very little is known about this dragon, since so little has been documented about them as they were considered rare.
