European nations have stories of knights that travelled great distances to slay the fire breathing dragons that had stolen gold and consumed maidens. Asian cultures tell stories of wise dragons who foretold people of the things they needed in order to live a good life, while Middle Eastern cultures had dragon stories that were based on huge lizards that inhabited the land. All these stories have been passed down from one generation from the next by the evening campfire. While the origin of some of these stories may be unknown, many remain the most popular dragon stories of all time.
