This is a bulls*hit lit. Compiled by a moron who just lumped together a list of creatures and beings that looked like dragons to him and who didn’t bother to put any real research into it.

A Naga is most certainly not a dragon. It’s a serpent deity in Hindu/South Asian mythology.

Second, Níðhöggr is not a kind of dragon. It the name a a specific dragon from the Norse mythos. It’s described as serpentine, so it’s most likely a lindworm, a wingless bipedal dragon.

Hel is a specific deity, the Norse Goddess, whom the unheroic dead go to when they die. Obviously a dragon cannot be in a another being, a fact that escaped the idiot who posted this list. Being a goddesses, she is obviously NOT the equivalent of the the English hell.

Here in Burma, we call the dragon “Naga” , the Buddhist type.
The interesting thing is that the dragon, which is the creature of supreme power and myth does not enjoy such mighty status in Burmese culture. Legend has it that there are “Galons” which lives in the sky and catches dragons as their prey. So Naga is more a prey than a predator.
Also days are associated with animals; Galons represent Sunday and Naga, Saturday.

Actually, the naga is the hindi word for snake.

Actually, zmaj means dragon. Snake is kača – č:ch.
And as far as I know, our dragon is pretty much the standard dragon with one head. Google Ljubljana zmaj or Zmajski most and you will see.

On Korean Dragons, the Chinese dragons are “Imperial Dragons” with 5 toes. Now since China was so friggin powerful in the old days, their dynasties made other countries a “sub-kingdom” of theirs as in, the countries recognize China as their “boss” kingdom. Therefore, Jap/Kor dragons were allowed to have only 3 and 4 toes I heard. Another interesting thing is that the dragon can only be used to refer or symbolize the emperor of China (although later on, other kings just scrapped the notion). Did you know that in Korea, the king’s face is called “yong-an” or “dragon’s face” or his body, “ok-chae” or “jade body”? pretty awesome I think

I'd really like to get a tattoo of the Cuélebre.

My bestfriend intoduces himself as the Dragon every time he runs into a girl. The best response he's ever gotten, other then the death glare, was when this chick goes, 'oh, wow, now i know why people were so bent on killing them, and they killed all the good-looking ones.'
