The dragon is a legendary creature of which some interpretation or depiction appears in almost every culture worldwide. The physical description and supposed abilities of the creature vary immensely according to the different cultures in which it appears. However, the unifying feature of almost all interpretations is it being a serpentine or otherwise reptilian monster (or at least possessing a serpentine/reptilian part or trait), and often possessing magical or spiritual qualities. The two most familiar interpretations of dragons are either European dragons, derived from various European folk traditions, or unrelated Oriental dragons, derived from the Chinese dragon (lóng,?,?). The word "dragon" derives from Greek ?????? (drak?n), "a serpent of huge size, a python, a dragon" and that from ??????? (drakein) aorist infinitive active of the verb ???????? (derkomai) "I see clearly".
