The dragon is a mythological creature that is characterized by predominantly reptilian qualities such as scales, lizard-like/snake-like headshape, and/or serpentine body form. Horns, head crests, spines, spikes, frills, ridges or antlers as well as long necks and the ability of flight are also common features to dragons.
