European Dragon

The European Dragon is a legendary creature from Western mythology, often depicted as a large, serpent-like or reptilian being with wings, claws, and the ability to breathe fire. It symbolizes strength, danger, and sometimes protection or wisdom. In stories and folklore, European dragons are typically seen as formidable adversaries or guardians, embodying both chaos and power. Unlike some eastern dragons, which are associated with good fortune and wisdom, European dragons are often portrayed as challenging heroes, representing obstacles to be overcome through bravery and skill. Their imagery has influenced literature, art, and popular culture worldwide.
