A little dragon is practicing how to breathe fire 🐉🔥 It cannot manage more than a small puff yet, which is half the charm. Choose any colors you like for its body, its wings and the flame.
Dragons are imaginary creatures that turn up in myths, legends and fantasy stories all over the world. European dragons usually have wings and breathe fire; in China and Japan the dragon (ryu) is long and serpentine and flies without wings at all. Either way it is a creature of the imagination — no such animal has ever existed.
Why are dragons said to breathe fire?
The fire-breathing dragon comes mainly from medieval European legend. One long-standing suggestion is that people who dug up the bones of large extinct animals filled in the rest of the creature from imagination. In the stories themselves, the flame stands for power, magic and danger.
