OBJECTION to the definition of dragon

A dragon is a mythical creature that is the combination of more than 2 animals. It is usually a warm blodded reptile. Often known for hording treasure and eating young women. Some breath fire. 3  out of 13 found this valuable. Do you?

Sorry about this, but you only got one thing right from that.

The treasure hoarding was mostly something created for the sake of legend, rather than myth.

It wasn't JUST young women that was supposedly fed to them. They had to be virgins. And even still, this was never quite proven. Again this is more of a legendary thing rather than mythical.

Same goes for fire breathing. Pictures often depict them doing so, but early descriptions and reports never had any form of mentioning of this so therefore it is inconclusive.

The first dragon was thought to be just an overgrown lizard.

I didn't say all dragons breath fire or hord treasuere. They are KNOWN to do these things. In fact, i think the majority doesn't breath fire 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

When you say known - how? It is easy for myth and legend to blur and have fictional qualities. Do you find this valuable?
