A dragon is a large, serpentine legendary creature that appears in the folklore of many cultures around the world. Beliefs about dragons vary considerable by region. In western cultures, since the Middle Ages, they have been depicted as winged, horned, four-legged and capable of breathing fire. They are sometimes depicted with enhanced senses and speed, particularly when flying, or as being extremely intelligent or super strong. Sometimes they even hoard and/or protect treasure!
