Diversity among dragonsThough most people can easily picture a dragon, people’s ideas and descriptions of dragons vary dramatically. Some dragons have wings; others don’t. Some dragons can speak or breathe fire; others can’t. Some are only a few feet long; others span miles. Some dragons live in palaces under the ocean, while others can only be found in caves and inside mountains.As folklorist Carol Rose discusses in her book “Giants, Monsters, & Dragons: An Encyclopedia of Folklore, Legend, and Myth” (Norton, 2001), dragons “have composite features from many other beasts, such as the head of an elephant in India, that of a lion or bird of prey in the Middle East, or numerous heads of reptiles such as serpents. Their body color may range from green, red, and black to unusually yellow, blue or white dragons.”Zoologist Karl Shuker describes a wide variety of dragons in his book “Dragons: A Natural History” (Simon & Schuster, 1995), including giant snakes, hydras, gargoyles and dragon-gods, and the more obscure variants such as basilisks, wyverns and cockatrices.

Dragons continue to capture the public’s imagination in fantasy books and films, appearing in everything from the kid-friendly 2010 film “How to Train Your Dragon,” to the more adult-oriented “Game of Thrones” books and TV series and “The Hobbit” book and movies. The popular role-playing game Advanced Dungeons and Dragons describes more than a dozen varieties of dragons, each with unique personalities, powers and other characteristics (Black dragons, for example, are fond of eels — who knew?).St. George and the Dragon, by Paolo Uccello, 1470.St. George and the Dragon, by Paolo Uccello, 1470.Dragons go way backThe word “dragon” comes from the ancient Greek word “draconta,” meaning “to watch,” suggesting that the beast guards treasure, such as mountains of gold coins or gems. But this doesn’t really make sense because a creature as powerful as a dragon surely doesn’t need to pay for anything, right? It’s probably more of a symbolic treasure, not for the hoarding dragon but instead a reward for the brave knights who would vanquish the evil beast.Dragons are one of the few monsters cast in mythology primarily as a powerful and fearsome opponent to be slain. They don’t simply exist for their own sake; they exist largely as a foil for bold adventurers. Other mythical beasts such as trolls, elves and fairies interact with people (sometimes mischievously, sometimes helpfully) but their main role is not as a combatant.
