dragon: a mythical monster like a giant reptile. in european tradition the dragon is typically fire-breathing and tends to symbolize chaos or evil, whereas in east asia it is usually a beneficent symbol of fertility, associated with water and the heavens.

1. puff the magic dragon
2. falkor (the never ending story)
3. elliot (pete's dragon)
4. smaug (j.r.r. tolkien's the hobbit)
