Dragons are mythical creatures that are usually portrayed as huge

serpents and are said to spit of breath fire. European dragons are
commonly drawn with wings, while oriental dragons are generally
described as large snakes. In many East Asian cultures, dragons were
revered as representing the forces of nature, religion, and the universe.
They are associated with wisdom and longevity. Hence, in China, the five-
clawed dragon was used as the symbol of the emperor. Dragons are also
said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power.
