DRAGONS

BY: MAKAYLAH REEVES

Many see dragons as fearsome creatures. They are said to have wings and claws, and sometimes even scales similar to those of a serpent. Many also say that dragons are able to breathe fire.

The descriptions of dragons vary dramatically depending on the person. Some may have wings, some may be able to speak, some may breathe fire or live under the sea, while others live far from civilization, in caves and mountains. Their body color can also range from green, red, black, yellow, blue, white, or any other pigment in the color spectrum. Many, however, will agree that most dragons appear to be serpentine.

It is unknown when the mythical legends of dragons first surfaced, but stories have gone as far back to the times of Ancient Greece and the Sumerians.

One legend celebrates the slaying of a dragon. The dragon had devoured all the people and livestock that it had come across. In response to this, the ruler of the land sent out his Knights to vanquish the dragon, and after many attempts, it was slain. To commemorate the event, an artist borrowed the skull and used it to create a sculpture of the Lindwurm, which even today still stands in the city of Klagenfurt, Austria.

Many see dragons as mythical creatures. There has been no solid evidence that has proved that dragons exist.

Conclusion?

My Conclusion:

Dragons are only mythical creatures. Snakes, animal fossils, and other creatures that lived long ago could easily have been mistaken for a fearsome dragon. Unlike the dinosaurs, there has been no solid evidence, such as fossils, that can definitely prove that dragons are real.

Stories of Dragons have appeared all over the world, especially in modern day media. The kid-friendly film "How to Train Your Dragon" and the more adult-oriented "Game of Thrones" books and Television series are only two examples of dragons in modern day media.

Many will think that dragons are fascinating creatures. They have shown up all across the media, in books and movies, television shows, and even video games. In fact, many games in general feature dragons, such as the role-playing game "Dungeons and Dragons", or "D&D" for short.
