Did Dragons Really Exist?

Many stories from medieval times though include knights that go hunting for dragons. With all the technology we have today and all the artifacts discovered there has never been anything found that could be the remains of dragons.

Even so, they continue to be a big part of stories and in many cultures they are symbolic in nature. Some stories portray dragons as very intelligent creatures that wouldn't harm anyone unless they were in trouble themselves.

In other stories and cultures though the dragon is a symbol of strength and power. These stories talk of dragons killing people for food and even breathing fire on fields of crops to destroy them.

The artistic designs of dragons are all that most of us have to go on for a visual picture. Many types of dragon art also show them breathing fire from their mouths for long distances.

It isn't uncommon for people to obtain tattoos of dragons. This variety of art is a way for them to have something powerful on their body. These dragons are often put on the arms or the back where they have lots of room to be designed. They may be very beautiful when they are completed but it can take several sessions for it to happen.
