Razors Edge ★ Posted July 18, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2019 ...in the "Is Godzilla a dragon" debate? Walks like a duck. Quacks like a duck. Is it a duck? Does a dragon have to have wings? Seems that's a newer development. From Wiki: A dragon is a large, serpent-like legendary creature that appears in the folklore of many cultures around the world. Beliefs about dragons vary drastically by region, but dragons in western cultures since the High Middle Ages have often been depicted as winged, horned, four-legged, and capable of breathing fire. Dragons in eastern cultures are usually depicted as wingless, four-legged, serpentine creatures with above-average intelligence. The earliest attested dragons resemble giant snakes. Dragon-like creatures are first described in the mythologies of the ancient Near East and appear in ancient Mesopotamian art and literature. Stories about storm-gods slaying giant serpents occur throughout nearly all Indo-European and Near Eastern mythologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizards that breathe fire or spit acid or shoot nuclear rays out of their mouths might be considered "dragons", no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Species: Prehistoric amphibious reptile I would say no, Godzilla is a lizard with mutations due to nuclear radiation exposure. Is the Komodo Dragon really a dragon if it doesn’t fly or spit fire?

The ones I saw in "How to Train Your Dragon 3D" with my nephew Adam yesterday all had wings. The Komodo Dragon we saw in the National Zoo in D.C. in 2015 didn't.
