Like most mythological creatures, dragons are perceived very differently in the different cultures around the world. Dragons are often purported to be a magical creature with powers above and beyond the average mythological creature. Dragons are often known to breathe fire and even be able to communicate telipathically.

Larger, winged dragons are usually portrayed in European lore while Oriental versions of the dragon are most often characterized to resemble large snakes. Modern depictions of dragons have increased the size of dragons compared to original versions. Earlier versions typically depicted dragons as being smaller than humans, while today they are larger than life.

Dragon Culture

Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world. In many East Asian cultures dragons were, and in some areas still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature, religion and the universe.
They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans—and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech.

The term dragoon, for infantry that move around by horse yet still fight as foot soldiers, is derived from their early firearm, the "dragon", a wide-bore musket that spat flame when it fired, and was thus named for the mythical creature.
