Western Dragon: Descriptive

Overview

Western Dragons possess both four

legs and wings, which makes it

difficult to identify them in the

animal kingdom, especially among the

vertebrates, which remain exclusively

tetrapods. All species known to

science that have solved the solution

to the Flight Problem have been

vertebrates as well.

Descriptions of Western dragons vary

greatly, from depictions of Saint

George and the dragon with the

monster being smaller than a horse, to

descriptions of dragons being a dozen

feet (3.65 m) long to fifty feet (15.24

m) long.

Common traits of Western Dragons include the following:

� Reptilian appearance

� Wings and/or the Ability to Fly

� Tremendous Strength and/or Powerful Muscles

� Heavy Bodies, Terrible Jaws and Teeth

� Noxious Breath and/or the ability to spew water, fire, or venom

� Dangerous, even poisonous, blood

Some less than common traits of Western Dragons, yet still applicable in

consideration, include the following:

� Association with a protected area, especially mountains or rocky regions or

even bodies of water

� Fabulous Eyes

� Association with dangerous geography, such as volcanoes
