Culture and Dragons

While thinking of what I wanted my dragons to look like I did a little research all over the world.  I think its interesting that in every culture there is something of a dragon in their mythos, art, history.  I'd like to think that Dragons used to exist on the planet (and not just in my head)  For some reason Dragons have always been awe inspiring to me.  I'm not sure what it is but I love anything with dragons.  So, here are some dragons I came across while researching.

European style dragon

Chinese Dragon

Egyptian serpent

Yay for Dragons!  I love the Asian ideas on dragons, the yin and yang and the Dragon usually lives in the water, controls the weather and protects treasure.
