Mythical Dragons were and remain extremely popular.  Practically every ancient civilization has its own tales and stories about this spectacular creature.

The two most common interpretations of this magnificent beast are the Western (European) and Eastern (Asian) types.  In general, most forms had serpentine and/or other reptilian traits with various strengths, powers and physical features.  The quantity of legs, arms, heads and types of skin varies greatly. They also are described in a large variety of differing colors.

Eastern versions were mostly depicted as good, wise and great teachers and allies to the humankind. They were often gentle and the keepers of peace and wisdom.  Their Western counterparts were in general quite the opposite. Many were entirely evil and solely bent on destruction and causing total chaos.

Whether good or evil, they often represented one of the elementals with the ability to control and use its powers to help their allies and destroy any opposing forces.

This category is definitely one of our all time favorites.  These mythical and legendary creatures are always fascinating whether they are champions or absolute villains in any story or tale in existence.
