A Western dragon is usually portrayed as a fiercer, and more aggressive dragon, i.e. the kinds who eat fair maidens and children. They also have those leathery wing-type things and are usually on 2 or 4 legs.
Eastern dragons are portrayed as wise, gentle creatures who are very helpful and nice, unlike the mindless cruel Western brutes. They usually do not have wings of any sort, but can still fly. They are very long and snake-like, while a Western dragon is more like a lizard sort of creature. They also have multiple legs, much more than 4. Some Eastern dragons also are drawn encircling a pearl, or having a pearl in its mouth. Finally, Eastern dragons usually have a feathery or furry "mane", and are usually bright shades of green, red, orange, yellow, blue, and others, compared to the Western dragon's dark greens, grays, blacks, and reds.
The Western and Eastern dragons have very little in common. However, both are large, mythical creatures of great power and intelligence. Both are said to fly (though Eastern dragons have no actual wings) and both value treasure. Both lay eggs and live for a long time. And both have a great significance and influence in the cultures of their respective regions - the Western dragon is feared and hated, while the Eastern dragon is revered.
Diet: both enjoy milk ( for the western dragon it makes it drunk and sleepy so people can kill it).
Usually dragons are considered evil demons because they steal sheep and other domesticated animals. They also burn villages.
Chinese dragons are seen as harbingers of good fortune, bringing much-needed rain in dry periods and ensuring successful crops. They are long and slender with multi-colored scales and lang manes and whiskers, and fly using psychic energy instead of wings. Western dragons, mainly European, are the classic six-limbed behemoths we know and love. They are categorized by overwhelming greed, establishing huge treasure hordes and occasionally kidnapping beautiful princesses or virgins just to spite kings and their knights. They are typically one solid color, with the most common being various shades of green, orange, and red.
Dear Question Asker, Well, they're so evil because the castle men are mean to them. The castle men try to kill them with their spears. The king of the castle wants the dragons to die because the dragons are eating all of their lettuce. And you know how the castle people love their lettuce! Anyway the western dragons are so evil because of the cruel and rude castle men. I'm sorry to tell you this but the western dragons are going extinct. :'( I know, it's disappointing. But that's just the way the castle people live. I hope I helped you answer your question! If you have anymore questions about dragons (AND YES THEY DO EXIST.. THAT'S FOR ALL OF YOU NON-BELIEVERS OUT THERE), please post them and I will happily respond :] Well my dragon in my back yard is starting to eat from my lettuce garden! We can't have them eating our lettuce now can we? I have to go now...! XOXOXO Kisses and huggies (and not the diapers!) Love, Gurgles<3
A western dragon is more fierce with wings and have two or four legs. An eastern dragon is known as being more gentle, do not have wings but can still fly. The eastern dragon is long shaped like a snake.
The Welsh dragon is your stereotypical Western dragon in body style, having six limbs (four legs and two wings), and can breathe fire. Eastern dragons do not have wings, are more serpentine in form, possess large manes, and normally do not breathe fire.

The western fire monger. A very large and rare dragon that spits nearly supernova heat fire from its thought. this dragon is nearly twice the size of the eastern water dragon, but faster.

A load of garbage. If you're asking what the difference is, the "eastern" form has each sign last about a year, while the "western" form has each sign last about a month. The Eastern, sometimes called "Chinese", zodiac is the one with names like the Rat, the Ox, the Dragon, the Tiger, etc. The Western zodiac has the ones you're probably more familiar with from horoscopes in the newspapers: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and so on.
the only difference is the gold trim. other than that there is no difference

Western breeds are estimated to have lifespans between 350-400 years, while Eastern breeds may live for up to 1000 years under ideal circumstances.

The difference is that a bee can sting but a dragonfly and a moth can't.
