Dragon

Look up Dragon in Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Typically a large powerful magical or spiritual reptile, the dragon is one of few if not the only mythological creature to to be known around the globe. Some dragon enthusiasts believe that the dragon may have had a real-life counterpart from which the legends around the world have been based, but up until this point there appears to be no significant evidence to support this claim (although some have said that they are possibly sightings of surviving dinosaurs).

Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance. One example of them in religion would be some biblical references that seem to hint that the dragon is a type of archangel, one of which by the name of Lucifer, rebelled against God to become known as the seven-headed red dragon called Satan. Some take this as a sign that dragons are an evil force, however other parts of the Christian Scriptures (depending on the version) seem to indicate that God created multiple dragons, not all of whom rebelled. As a note, not all religions have dragons so morally in question. In many oriental cultures, they were a being to be revered, and were representative of the primal forces of nature and the universe.
