Draconic creatures are first described in the mythologies of the ancient Near East and appear in ancient Mesopotamian art and literature. Stories about storm-gods slaying giant serpents occur throughout nearly all Near Eastern and Indo-European mythologies. Famous prototypical draconic creatures include the mušḫuššu of ancient Mesopotamia; Apep in Egyptian mythology; Vṛtra in the Rigveda; the Leviathan in the Hebrew Bible; Grand'Goule in the Poitou region in France; Python, Ladon, Wyvern and the Lernaean Hydra in Greek mythology; Kulshedra in Albanian Mythology; Unhcegila in Lakota mythology; Jörmungandr, Níðhöggr, and Fafnir in Norse mythology; the dragon from Beowulf; and aži and az in ancient Persian mythology, closely related to another mythological figure, called Aži Dahaka or Zahhak.

In Slavic mythology, the words "zmey", "zmiy", or "zmaj" are used to describe dragons. These words are masculine forms of the Slavic word for "snake", which are normally feminine (like Russian zmeya). In Romania, there is a similar figure, derived from the Slavic dragon and named zmeu. Exclusively in Polish and Belarusian folklore, as well as in the other Slavic folklores, a dragon is also called (variously) смок, цмок, or smok. In South Slavic folklores, the same thing is also called lamya (ламя, ламjа, lamja). Although quite similar to other European dragons, Slavic dragons have their peculiarities. Gargoyles are carved stone figures sometimes resembling dragons that originally served as waterspouts on buildings. [160] [161] Precursors to the medieval gargoyle can be found on ancient Greek and Egyptian temples, [160] [162] [163] but, over the course of the Middle Ages, many fantastic stories were invented to explain them. [164] One medieval French legend holds that, in ancient times, a fearsome dragon known as La Gargouille had been causing floods and sinking ships on the river Seine, [165] so the people of the town of Rouen would offer the dragon a human sacrifice once each year to appease its hunger. [165] Then, around 600 AD, a priest named Romanus promised that, if the people would build a church, he would rid them of the dragon. [165] Romanus slew the dragon and its severed head was mounted on the walls of the city as the first gargoyle. [165] [166] Trogdor! Trogdor was a man. I mean, he was a dragon man. Or maybe he was just a dragon… But he was still Trogdor!!

Water Dragons are aquatic dragons that often are able to manipulate the water around them, whether as a breath weapon or with their wings. Water Dragons will at times bear the resemblance of a sea serpent or other aquatic creature.

Poison Dragons are defined by their ability to breath or manipulate poison in some fashion. They may bear animal-like tendencies or be highly cunning, their poison serving as both a defensive and offensive option in any case. Same as before but with female names instead of male names – these are names that either literally mean “fire” or have something to do with fire in their meaning.See also: List of dragons in fiction Modern fan illustration by David Demaret of the dragon Smaug from J.
