The myth of the Dragon doesn't have an exact origin. There have been suggestions in the past that the idea for the dragon may have come from dinosaur fossils. Others suggest that it is a type of ancestral memory that is combining the image of the bird of prey, the snake, and the tiger (all of which were very dangerous to our ancestors) to create the image of the dragon. Overall, the fossil idea is more widely recognized. The problem with giving a definite answer is that the dragon has simply been around too long. The dragon is one of our oldest mythological creatures. For now it appears that its origins have been lost.

The dragon is also known as a wyrm, a serpent, the Naga, and the Great Serpent; to name a few. The Great Serpent is also called the Earth Mother. She is found in myths going back several thousand years and on at least three continents. Europe, from the Black Sea eastward, where one of her early names was Dana; Asia, from the Black Sea to India; and North America, in the Serpent Peoples myths. She is said to be called the Great Serpent because she can read and write in the language of life, which takes the form of two entwined serpents and is found in all living things. haha moo.dragons were from the medeval time thought to be large ferocious flying fire breathing reptiles
