A great example of a cinematic wyvern-style dragon would be the merciless Vermithrax Pejorative, the brutal, virgin-devouring, mama-dragon from the 1981 classic, Dragonslayer. She is one of my absolute favorite dragons of all time and the Special FX work that brought her to life on the screen is still incredibly convincing even now in the age of CG.

[@Hallows4]

I’ve nearly driven myself mad a few times trying to find this program on DVD, but back in ‘05 or ‘06, the History Channel did a two hour special called “Quest for Dragons” that did a great job explaining both the variety of dragon stories around the world and their potential connections to living and extinct animals. One anthropologist interviewed on the program even put forth the theory that the image of the dragon we have today is actually a mental composite of three predators that threatened our prehistoric ancestors; big cats, big birds, and big snakes.

[@emrek99205]

I like the idea that dragons originated as rivers. That they "snake" across the countryside. They sometimes (when water levels rise above the banks) can sprout wings. Have a deafening roar. A large mouth. Can swallow a human whole or chew up the very rocks. They sometimes disappear underground. They cannot be killed with spear, bow, or sword. They can sometimes sleep for eons (in a lake or behind a dam), but if disturbed they can charge/fly down from their mountain home to lay waste to the towns at the base. Did I mention that gold can sometimes be found beneath them?

[@animistchannel2983]

Still a great channel concept, and still loving your presentation style. Stay cheeky! Some people would disregard myths out of hand, but myths have meaning in many ways, and oftentimes they reveal things about ourselves, our commonalities, and our history that we might not think to ask otherwise. They often remind us of how much of our collective consciousness dates so very far back, and that our ancestors were more curious, creative, mobile, and interconnected than most people realize. When Venezuelan parrot feathers can be found in numerous hill-people graves in Pennsylvania, we should be ready for the stories to have followed with them, evolving with each retelling. In many monster tales, there is a seed of exotic but very real origins, and through them we can trace the experiences and imaginations of the past. Sometimes, such stories are actually fair warning indeed, if you can just figure out how to interpret...

[@thegustbag]

Gryphons, Griffins, Griphynes?

[@animistchannel2983]

Gryphons actually have a basis in reality, but not what you might suspect. I had to research it a few years ago for reasons. If you dig around deep enough, it turns out the first tales of them came from European travelers who ventured up near the northern Ural Mountains in the classical era. They heard stories of how the golden/yellow people (i.e. the Hyperboreans) to the north & east kept & trained these gryphon creatures to guard their land, flocks, & treasure, creatures with the head of a bird and talons the size of a lion's, that could drive off intruders, even kill wild wolves. As it turns out once you filter through even the obvious embellishments, the Hyperboreans were based on the Fennu, Tungus, & Mongolian tribes, and the Tungus & other Mongolians are people of Eagle Spirit among shamanistic folks. They have long (since prehistory) kept golden eagles as pets & guards, and an eagle can, indeed, kill a wolf, or sound an alarm with their shrill voices if they sense something amiss. On the one hand, this de-mystifies the gryphons a bit, but on the other hand, the reality is almost as amazing. There are a number of KZbin videos of golden eagles hunting, including excerpts of traditional Mongolian practices from documentaries. It's impressive what those "talons like a lion" and that sharp hooked beak can do for such a creature with a lot of smarts and essentially no fear.

​@@WintrBorn, exactly,... actually, most gliding mammals or reptiles just use part of their torzo and ribs, extending them as "wings"... But thei're not actual wings like insects, birds or bats have. Only insects (a totally different evolutive path), have real wings separated from their limbs

[@alvinhatzasoesedyono289]

There are two things of Dragons like Western & Eastern Dragons: -Western Dragons, typically depicted as a huge fire-breathing, scaly and horned lizard-like creature, with leathery, bat-like wings, with four legs and a long muscular tail. It is sometimes shown with feathered wings, crests, fiery manes, ivory spikes running down its spine and various exotic colorations. Dragon's blood often has magical properties. The typical dragon protects a cavern or castle filled with gold and treasure and is often associated with a "great" hero who tries to slay it. Though a winged creature, the dragon is generally to be found in its underground lair, a cave that identifies it as an ancient creature of the earth. -Asian Dragons, typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs. Traditionally they symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, hurricane, and floods, and are also a symbols of power, strength, and good luck. They have also extended range of supernatural powers, changing size or form (most are able to take human shape), fly among the clouds or hide in water, form clouds, turn into water, change color as an ability to blend in with their surroundings as an effective form of camouflage or glow in. -Lesser Drakes is something of a catch-all category, including the lesser dragon-like beings, such as wyverns, worm/wyrms, lindworms, etc., which are generally smaller and more animal-like in mind and behavior. There are more Types of Dragons: -Armored Dragon Physiology. -Asian Dragon Physiology. -Balaur Physiology. -Cartoon Dragon Physiology. -Cosmic Dragon Physiology. -Dimensional Dragon Physiology. -Draco Magi Superior Physiology. -Dragon Lord Physiology. -Dragonborn Physiology. -Dragonman Physiology. -Elemental Dragon Physiology. -Gestalt Dragon Physiology: ○Alien Dragon Physiology. ○Angelic Dragon Physiology. ○Bionic Dragon Physiology. ○Draconic Machine Physiology. ○Demonic Dragon Physiology. ○Data Dragon Physiology. ○Dino-Dragon Physiology. ○Dragon Turtle Physiology. ○Fairy Dragon Physiology. ○Feather Dragon Physiology. ○Insect Dragon Physiology. ○Phoenix Dragon Physiology. ○Tannin Physiology. ○Undead-Dragon Physiology: ○Ghost Dragon Physiology. ○Skeleton Dragon Physiology. ○Vampiric Dragon Physiology. -Lesser Dragon Physiology. -Mutated Dragon Physiology. -Mystic Dragon Physiology. -Primordial Dragon Physiology. -Psychic Dragon Physiology. -Superpowered Dragon Physiology. -Transcendent Dragon Physiology.

“Just Crocodiles”?

[@TibbitsStudios]

The legend of Saint George and the Dragon was one of the favorite things I liked to read about when I was a kid,I always thought that the dragon he killed was actually a comodo dragon as when a comodo dragon bites it causes a burning sensation as the bacteria in the saliva is attacking your muscles as was explained by a few people attacked by the comodo dragon.
