I wish I had a dragon like in Game of Thrones.
Yeah, that would be cool. Dragons are legendary creatures, typically scaled or fire-spewing and with serpentine.
What's interesting is the difference between Western and East Asian dragons. Chinese dragons are like guardian angels.
Thats interesting, it appears dragons have always been part of cultural traditions just like you mentioned. 
I wonder how it came to be that Western folk lore dragons are evil, but the Chinese dragons are nice.
Probably because in Western cultures dragons were considered water snakes and snakes were bad in the bible. 
Oh that's a good point. I think snakes have it bad. Poor creatures never had a chance to be liked by the masses since they were bad-mouthed in the bible.
Very true, its because they have been involved in the oldest rituals known to humankind and represent dual expression of good and evil.
I think leeches would have been a better representation of evil since they literally steal your blood. But I guess they didn't have leeches around to compare them to snakes.
Very true, they just used whatever was around and associated it with good or evil.
