Beowulf's dragonAn unnamed dragon in the epic tale of Beowulf. This creature is said to vomit fire and reach 50 feet in length (measured after death).To the top DracoLast of the living dragons in the movie Dragonheart. He had given away a part of his heart so that the prince (just a teenager), could live. The prince unfortunately, followed his father's bad behavior and was a terrible ruler, abusing all of his subjects. To Draco's disadvantage, the only way to kill the prince (now king) was to kill Draco for their hearts beat as one. There is a constellation of Draco in the northern sky. For more information on Draco check out The Mythology of Constellations: Draco.To the top DrakeA black and white dragon who's shy and can be lead by anyone. In the movie Dragonheart: A New Beginning, he saves the world from the evil dragon GRIFFIN, who is reborn with the Dynasty's amulet that contains his heart. Drake is a friendly dragon, who is willing to try anything he gets pushed to. SPECIAL NOTE: Contributed by ThunderbirdaliL.To the top Eight-Headed dragonOn one of many travels, the hero Susano (or Susa-no-wo) traveled through the Izumo province of Japan. He ran across a couple weeping and asked what was wrong. Their reply was that their daughter was to be a sacrifice to a dragon with eight tails, eight heads, and glowing red eyes. It was so large that it filled an entire valley. Naturally Susano offered to rescue the daughter (named Kushinada) if she would marry him. She agreed and together they tricked the dragon. They made him fall asleep and Susano cut the dragon into pieces.To the top FafnirA dragon that began life as a giant. In his youth he killed his father to gain his father's treasures. Then, through magical means, Fafnir transformed himself into a dragon so that he could better guard the new, ill-gotten treasures. As Fafnir grew older he became more vicious and began terrorizing vast areas of Scandinavia. Finally the Norse hero Siegfried arrived. He dug a pit along the path that Fafnir used when he went to get a drink. Siegfried climbed down into the pit and waited with his sword for Fafnir. When Fafnir paused over the pit Siegfried thrust his weapon into Fafnir, knocking him down so that Siegfried could dispense the fatal blow.To the top Fut's-LungAlso known by the name fu-ts'ang lung, this Chinese dragon is a guardian of treasures such as jewels and metals. It keeps secret hoards deep within the Earth.To the top GriffinAn evil dragon who is killed by the Dynasty for the East's safety. That was a big mistake. All the innocent dragons are killed as well. His soul gets inserted into the form which he hates most; HUMAN. Griffin pledges in and becomes the King's Chief Advisor. He gives the king a tonic which makes him stupid so that Griffin can rule the land. Griffin is later killed in his dragon form (he got to his dragon form by having the princess of the Dynasty throw it into the fire, and he kicked it into the water and retrieved it) by Drake using ice to shatter him. SPECIAL NOTE: Contributed by ThunderbirdaliL.To the top HydraA child of the Greek Typhon and Echidna. The Hydra has a long snake-like body with an innumerable amount of heads. Each time Herakles (Hercules-Roman counterpart)cut off one of the Hydra's heads, two more would grow back in it's place. Finally, Herakles (Hercules) tried (actually his nephew, Iolaus did) burning the stump after he had cut off a head. This stopped the growth of two more heads but not even Herakles (Hercules) could destroy the main head of the Hydra so he trapped the monster in a cave and places an immense, immovable boulder before it.
