Dragon

Dragon is a term used to describe a number of mythological creatures which share at least some of the following features...

• reptilian attributes (scales, short ratio of leg length to body length, tail, etc.)
• large size
• flight (possibly, but not necessarily, with wings)
• ability to expel fire from their mouths

Dragons in fiction are often sapient and have some degree of magical ability. The term is also used to refer to several categories of real-life reptiles (Komodo Dragons, Bearded Dragons, and so forth).

Dragons in Fiction

• In JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth, western dragons exist, notable among them being Smaug.
• In Avatar, Asiatic dragons exist, and from these creatures was learned fire bending.
• In Star Wars, the planet Tatooine is home to Krayt Dragons; the skeleton of one can be seen in ANH.
• Reign of Fire (if you want to laugh)
