Dragons
There are two main types of dragons: European Dragons and Chinese Dragons. The European Dragon is a creature that looks like a gigantic serpent or lizard with wings. They have thick scales like either a fish or a snake. Dragons generally also have short legs, which they use to get around on foot. They use their leathery wings to fly long distances and over mountains and large stretches of water. They will destroy anything in their path by burning it with their fire-breath.

Chinese Dragons are benevolent creatures that are friends to humans. They are symbols of power and strength.

Powers
From legends, the dragon gains a reputation for strength, vigilance and wisdom. Vikings had dragon figureheads on the prow of their ships. The dragons on the ships were believed to endow keen site and cunning to the Viking warriors.
