Dragons
EUROPEAN DRAGONS! for some reason i look at them as way more epic than the Chinese ones, even though i know that the Chinese culture puts ALOT of emphasis on the divinity of dragons... but still i mean i haven't heard of epic battles between knights and dragons from china
im ignorant, ye...
~Luis
You wouldn't find 'epic battles between knights and dragons from China' as Chinese dragons are a symbol of peace and are supposedly loving and wise, compared to the aggressive European depictions of dragons.
However, despite being a British-born Chinese person myself, I prefer the aesthetics of the European dragons.

European dragons aren't agressive, they're just misunderstood . . . at least that's the argument I always have with my husband. He just rolls his eyes . . .
Haha, well, we'll lock you up with one, take a few bets and see what happens?
Aggressive or not, the European versions are ever-so-cute though.

A baby dragon as a 'pet' would be great. Although having widespread domesticated dragons would probably wipe out all of the other pets...Not to mention, it could grow to be extremely wise and you could end up as the possible 'pet'..Or snack. :woohoo:

The oriental cultures never had any problems with Dragons. Why? Because they saw the dragons as a source of knowledge and power. Kingdoms were ruled under Dragons and entire era's of technology were solely devoted to dragon-kind. They lived along peacefully to this day. Same as the Central American Indians. Though, their bond with dragons weren't exactly humble, it was more or less fear. They feared dragons, and because of that they thrived peacefully and grew to have one of the greatest ancient empires ever. Similar with the Egyptians. Not only did they worship the dragons, they asked them to guard their tombs, which they did, voraciously. Only the Europeans with their multi-cultural religions saw any creature above themselves as evil.
Meaning comes from within.
