No Dragons were forced in any way to do anything they didn't want to do. (This means no force, no drugs, no pursuation, no bribes, no witchcraft etc. were used to make them appear. All Dragons
on this page get well paid for their work, which is appearing in the pictures
and let people look at them.
So, if it
takes time to download this page or some pictures are missing, you know
what's the reason.

Dragons
Most of us know what a Dragon
is.
Some of us don't.
So I'll try to explain.
It's a lizard that flies...hm.
It's a magickal, mystical animal.
The common western image of a dragon, is that of a great snake with scales, four eagle legs and batwings. They also have horns and spikes everywhere on their body.
No, it's a wyvern. It has been discussed if cockatrice - basilisk has something to do with wyverns genetic...

Chinese Dragons don't have
wings. They fly because they feel happy and joyous and light - like Falkor
did in the book and the movie "Neverending Story".
Chinese Dragons have beards
and furry ears and their nose is quite flat, not as pointy as the western
Dragons'. Instead of spikes they have hair on back and elbows and at the
tip of their tails.
This is an Imperial Dragon - you'll
reckognize an Imperial Dragon by how many claws it has on each leg.
Only the Emperor had the right to use clothes with a five fingered Dragon
embroidered on them.

dragons, here be vases, swords etc.
Western legless Dragons are called Wyrms.
If a Dragon has wings, they
can be of many different varieties. The batwing variety is still the most
common. Some dragons may have feathered wings. Faerie Dragons have beautiful
insect wings - butterfly or transparent dragonfly(!) wings.

Dragons exist in any colors. To see some examples of them, go and see my Dragons by colour -site. This page shows black, white and grey, blue and green and red, golden and bronze. That page shows them all...
Dragons tend to like living in
the mountains, but they can live anywhere.
All Dragons have inner fire that
keeps them warm anywhere, that's why there can be Ice Dragons.
Round the Polar Star lies Draco, the constellation Dragon. Humans tell the story behind the constellation differently, but I believe in Draco, in Dragonheart.That is where Dragons go when they die.
There's a Dragon in the moon, too. He can breath both fire and water, and he desides if it's warm or rainy down here.
As you can see, Dragons are very versatile and fine creatures.
A magical, mystical animal.
