Dragon-Like Creatures
Dragons. Serpents. Winged beasts. Scaled disasters with suspicious amounts of teeth.
Not every dragon-like creature is technically a dragon. Some are serpents. Some are winged beasts. Some are divine world-ending entities. Some are medieval hazards with too many teeth and not enough concern for local infrastructure.
Across mythology and folklore, dragon-like creatures appear in caves, oceans, skies, forests, mountains, rivers, underworlds, and the occasional prophecy that everyone involved should have read more carefully. They breathe fire. Spit venom. Guard treasure. Coil around the world. Regrow heads. Sink ships. Poison wells. Challenge gods. Menace heroes. And, in several cases, make a strong argument for staying indoors.
This guide explores dragons, wyverns, hydras, basilisks, lindworms, Jörmungandr, sea serpents, and other scaled beings from myth and legend.
Proceed carefully. The archive has already lost three junior researchers and one very confident intern.
