Dragon

"There be Dragons."

- Oldentime saying, conveying danger

Dragons have appeared all over the world, across history and within myths and folklore, religions and early science. Yet the Dragon most common in modern thinking is the Dragon of dark age europe, the fire-breathing monster of dinosaur size and bull-horns, virgins sacrifices and Church persecutions. The Medieval view of dragons was of a flying monster which, according to modern science, should not fly, a beast believed real yet denied reality by common knowledge.

Yet Dragons were said to fly, Christian saints said to have slain them, and their impossible natures have been tackeld and explained as possible by some scientists.

Could they have been real? Might they have existed? Maybe, maybe not, but either way, they make one powerful beast, a titan of folkloric fancy, and the arch nemesis of the other dark age wonder, the Knight!
