Why Not All Dragons Have Wings
April 28, 2010
If I were to talk about a dragon, describe the creature you'd picture I was talking about. Does the dragon you're thinking of have four legs and a body or is it more elongated and smooth like a snake? Do you see it is balanced on the edge of a building protecting the city or flying at fantastic heights watching everything below? Is the dragon sociable or do you want to be very cautious around it? Is it larger than your house or can it fit in your pocket?
The dragon I usually think of is the Western type, you know the one. Large, scaly, two legs, two arms, huge tail, razor sharp teeth, wings, and fire-breathing. I have dragon figurines all over my dwelling that look just like that.
In the other room, I have a Chinese dragon. These animals are thought to be made of elements from nine different animals: the body of a snake, talons of an eagle, antlers of a deer, head of a camel, belly of a clam, ears of a cow, soles of a tiger, 117 scales of a carp, and eyes of a demon.
This is just a small list of the styles of dragons you can see. Several are more snake like. We've all seen the breed with a body and four legs like a dog. Based on the lore in the East, the amount of claws that a dragon has symbolizes its rank of sorts, or its original homeland and migration. Not all dragons have wings, and but almost all of them can fly.
Dragons are pure muscle, but the skin that covers it can be different from creature to creature. While some dragons have a tough leathery-type covering of skin, most actually have scales that function as their armor. The color differs, too. In this room alone, I see a red dragon, a blue one, a gold one, and a purple one. Still others can camouflage themselves in order to take cover from enemies or sneak up on prey. There are also dragons that have the skill to transform their form.
Why are there so many different styles of dragons? The most important difference is cultural and legend and lore, which encompasse species differences. A couple of of the distinctive dragon races are Wyvern, Guivre, Hydra, Drake, Chimera, and Gryphon. And each one has a different disposition from comrade to foe.
If you really pay attention, you can discover dragons of all sorts all around you. Some of these creatures dwell on rooftops or in the waters. Many live in caves or castles. Others live in role playing games, storybooks, and imagination. Do you see any dragons from where you are sitting?
