In traditional folklore and mythology, dragons are typically depicted as large, serpentine or reptilian creatures with wings, sharp claws, and the ability to breathe fire. They are often portrayed as powerful and dangerous beasts that are associated with chaos, destruction, and malevolence.
Dragons are a common theme in many cultures' folklore across the world, including European, Asian, and Middle Eastern folklore. They are often described as being hoarders of treasure, with a fierce protective nature. In many stories, they are seen as the ultimate enemy, to be vanquished by the hero of the story.
While dragons are not real creatures, they have a significant presence in popular culture, including literature, films, video games, and even in the naming of certain animals, like the Komodo dragon.
