The Purple Wyrm Fantasy Resource

Dragons are found throughout the entire world in myths and legends. In eastern asian, the oriental style dragon was often reguarded as a positive creature symbolizing strength and good fortune. Western style dragons are prevalent in ancient stories as well as modern fantasy movies and books. Beowulf fights a dragon in that ancient epic. St. George is a famous dragon killer. Even the Bible mentions dragons. Dragons in modern books and movies include Smaug, from Tolkien’s The Hobbit, Draco from the movie Dragonheart, and the Hungarian Horntail from Harry Potter. Dragons are popular magical creatures in role-playing games as well such as Dungeons & Dragons.

Dragons: A Look at Legendary Fantasy Creatures

Well, since I’m a pretty active dragon, I thought a blog would serve me better than a static web page. Melanie agrees. Though, quite frankly, if she didn’t, it wouldn’t matter.

This is my cave. Come on in. Make yourselves comfortable. Don’t touch my stuff.

If asked to picture a Unicorn, one would probably imagine a white horse with a silvery, pearly, or golden spiral horn growing out of the middle of its forehead. Indeed, the unicorn has been described as everything from a horse, to having antelope legs, a lion’s or boar’s tail, the feet of a goat or an elephant, and sometimes a single black horn. Until the 18th century, unicorns were actually thought to exist.

They were written about by such learned men as ancient physician Ctesias, Aristotle, Pliny, St. Gregory, and Genghis Khan. Unicorns were mentioned in the Bible several times, most especially the earlier Greek version of the Old Testament They were frequently considered to be a native animal of India. Marco Polo’s description of them as being “scarcely smaller than elephants” and “ugly brutes” who “prefer to wallow in mud and slime” makes them sound very similar to a rhinocerous. Anyone finding a washed up narwhal horn on the beach could also get ideas about unicorns. Chinese legends also include a unicorn that they call ‘K’i-lin.’ This beast was said to be gentle and lucky to see. It has been credited with beginning the Chinese written language.
