Description

Dragons are not one monster. Every culture built its own — and most of them look nothing like the fire-breathing beast you're imagining. Some have no wings. Some have nine heads. One of them is covered in feathers and was worshipped as a god. From the Western Dragon to the Wyrm, this is every type of dragon in mythology explained — where each one comes from, what it actually does, and how the legends say you stop one.
