We find dragons in the mythologies and folklore of numerous countries and cultures across the Earth. The normal picture of a dragon is a huge fire breath reptile with a scaly hide, snake’s tail and the claws of a lion, but not all dragons have wings. In addition, some dragons are evil and others are good.
According to the website Here there be Dragons, http://www.draconian.com/home/frameset.htm, there are at least fourteen different species of dragons.
Dragons with wing
Western Dragons some can change their color and other shape.
Faerie Dragons are very small and have butterfly wings.
Wyverns are dragons that have two legs.
Hydras are dragons with several heads and necks; some hydras have wings.
Pernese Dragons do not have scales.

The fantasy got lost in the dark wood, but I’m turning on the lights.
