I love dragons. Wyverns, Chinese ones and the Norse serpentine ones. They're awesome. I've got dragons as ornaments, dragons on my jewelry, dragons on my posters, dragons on my shirts...
I also have a small dragon... He's called Puff.

From Amazon Patio, Lawn and Garden forums: A discussion of ideas to prevent dragon raids on your flock of sheep.
Maybe Monsanto has a solution. |

I'm quite the dragon fan. I carry around two small dragon figurines to school as good luck charms. Everyone knows and loves them k

Other: I like the Heroes of Might and Magic IV black dragons ... and faerie dragons, but more than so the black ones.
Ladies and gentlemen, in front of you stands a level four creature with the greatest number of hitpoints in the game - 400! (No, not 400 factorial, it's 400 and an exclamation mark.) Inflicts levels of damage beyond "that hurt like a b$%ch!" and it's completely immune to all magic spells (yes, that includes "Poison", "Lightning Bolt", "Fear", etc.) and I believe it's also immune to bad luck, but not very sure about that one. When you get 100 of those (and the hero that's leading them is level 26), they are pretty much unstoppable.

As early humans were well knowledged in animal anatomy¹ it is perfectly reasonable that they would find bone fossils and recognise they were not from extant species of animal, it is also reasonable to assume they would be be able to reconstruct likely images for these extinct creatures based upon what they did know of existing animals. Also, humans were present during the last ice age when mega-fauna (mastadon, giant sloth, sabre tooth tigers etc.) ruled the land so memory of those creatures could have been preserved in mythology, albeit distorted by the telling and re-telling of aural hsitories often are. One curocity concerning Dragons is their alternative name of "Worm" which is also common to many disparate civilisations form the Wirm, Wyrm or Wurm in Europe to the wingless, legless dragons of China, suggesting that perhaps giant snakes are also part of the dragon mythology. Wurm is also the name of a river. A streak of lightning looks like a river of fire in the sky, the connection between lightning, river, worm and fire is an easy connection to make. (¹this is not a wild supposition- early humans existed as hunter-gatherers for 10s of thousands of years, butchering of carcases was an everyday event for them so they knew animal anatomy very well - they also used animal bones for tools so they were aware of their properties and characteristics too)

And without dragons we would not have a few great Roger Dean artworks.

Although dinosaurs and humans did not coexist it is entirely plausible that ancient humans found fossils and tales of similar creatures spread around. Or, they arose from tales coming from travelling people who had seen 'real dragons' not known in the main civilizations such as the Comodo Dragon or the Frilled Lizard.
