Dragons are legendary creatures appearing in the mythology and folklore of cultures across the world. In Western traditions, dragons are typically depicted as fire-breathing, winged reptiles associated with evil, destruction, and death. In Eastern traditions — particularly Chinese and Japanese culture — dragons tend to be benevolent, serpentine beings symbolizing power, good fortune, and wisdom. The contrast between these two archetypes has made dragons one of the most enduring and versatile figures in human storytelling.
