European dragon
Winged, fire-breathing lizard
A European dragon is the Western mythological creature—a large, winged, fire-breathing reptile that hoards treasure and terrorizes villages.
Unlike the serpentine Asian dragon, which often symbolizes wisdom and good fortune, the European dragon is typically malevolent, slain by heroes and saints in medieval legend: Saint George and the dragon, Smaug guarding his gold.
