Dragon

Every kid deserves to have a Puff-the-Magic-Dragon as a friend.

The dragon can wait – I'd rather have George.

I wonder wether the dragon from Tolkiens »Hobbit« is named »Smaug« in the English version of the book, since I only know the German one, or if he's spelled different. If I had to spell »Smaug« in such way that English readers would pronounce it the same way Germans do, it would probably read »Smowg«. I'm thankful I don't have to read all those names aloud.

Tatzelwurm

Also called the stollenwurm, springwurm, or jumping worm, it is allegedly a cryptid animal described as being anywhere from five to seven feet long with a snake-like form, large clawed legs and a feline appearance in the head region.

Similar creatures have been part of Scandinavian folklore for centuries. The first sightings of the Tatzelwurm (»worm with claws« in German) were in the seventeen hundreds by a farmer who claimed that it attacked his livestock, particularly a hog. The farmer was so frightened by the attack that he suffered a heart attack and died that same day. Reports have ranged throughout Switzerland since then till present day.

An alleged skeleton of the creature and photographs presented as physical evidence are assumed to be fraudulent, orchestrated by local people in the hope of attracting more tourist trade.

Bhutan, the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon,' is one of just two nations that have dragons on their flags. The other is Wales.

Dragons would be my favourite animals... if they wouldn't just be fantasy creatures. I am imagin' them as amazing, graceful, proud and strong figures.

To fly over the fields of light on the back of a dragon would be a truely dizzying experience.

Dragons are creatures of flight and fancy and fierce. They are creatures of individuality, steadfastness and loyalty. They are lovers of jewels, of crystals, of things.

The prefer to live alone...and come out only when they feel the need to play in the sun...
