dragons
Legendary winged serpents
Dragons are mythical creatures typically depicted as large, reptilian beasts capable of flight and breathing fire.
They appear across cultures—menacing villains in European folklore, benevolent symbols of power in East Asian tradition.
In fantasy fiction and gaming, dragons are often the ultimate adversary or a source of ancient wisdom.
To chase dragons is to pursue something elusive; in drug slang, chasing the dragon refers to inhaling heroin vapor.
