Hello, dragons combine serpentine, reptilian and aviain traits and are featured in many cultural myths worldwide. What do you know about dragons?
That is cool. Mostly things from fairy tales and Lord Of the Rings. They like Gold for some reason. lol
I never really though about how those ideas came to be, intuitively there aren't any reasons whhy they like gold so much. There must be a lot of cross-cultural ideals mixing to create the idea that they all love gold
That is a good point! I wonder also where the idea that they breathe fire came from and why? Maybe to keep kids from wandering away?
That's not a bad reason to make up that story lol. I think J.R.R. Tolkien's version of dragons was closely based on European legends so maybe everyone has just followed suit with similar stories and so on?
You are just full of interesting information. I didn't know that about Tolkiens dragons. The chinese use a lot of dragons in their culture.
Haha thanks! They do, I imagine a lot of the stories descended from ancestors and have been past down for a long time. Interestingly enough, dragons in chinese culture sometimes are depicted by turtles and fish weirdly enough. 
I didn't know that either. I guess maybe I should read a book about the history of dragons.
