Origin[]
Dragons have been a part of human imaginations for centuries, but it does not always carry the same meaning.
In Medieval Europe, dragons have been seen as powerful, cruel, greedy monsters that spit fire, devour creatures and kill humans. In many stories, dragons have been known to horde treasures and kidnap maidens, and a knight, such as Beowulf or St. George, is normally the one to slay the beast and rescue the damsel.
In Asia, however, dragons are seen as benevolent and wise creatures that can control the balance of nature. Asian dragons are seen as signs of good fortune, power and health. The people of China once worshipped dragons, often leaving out food as an offering, and in return, the dragons would bless them with rain to help grow their crops. Legends say that Chinese emperors were advised by dragons. But if the emperors didn't follow a dragon's advice, the beasts could cause great storms.
