A dragon is a mythological creature, typically
depicted as a large and powerful serpent
or other reptile, with magical or spiritual
qualities.
The various figures now called dragons most
likely have no single origin, but spontaneously
came to be in several different cultures
around the world, based loosely on the appearance
of a snake and possibly fossilized dinosaur
remains.
Dragons are often held to have major spiritual
significance in various religions and cultures
around the world. In many oriental cultures
dragons were, and in some cultures still
are, revered as representative of the primal
forces of nature and the universe.
