Earth, Wind, Fire and Water have long been considered the primary forces that govern the world and its creatures.

Myth and history play host to a variety of dragons. Some are huge, angry and have the traditional Western feel, others are much more reptilian and serpentine. Some have one head, some have a hundred. Some, as it's been argued, are not dragons at all. So why do I put them all here? Because there is not a set definition of "dragon", no clear historical sameness. Some stories call dragons serpents, some call serpents dragons, some call dinosaurs dragons and so on. Marco Polo even wrote he'd discovered dragons when all he really saw was crocodiles. Since there really isn't a decent definition, we have to remain broad in our outlook and consider all the possibilities.

From the very popular role-playing game Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, we get dragons of differing moods and relations, but they are all basically Westerns with serpentine bodies, 4 legs, 2 wings and so on.
