YoungScrappyHungry Posted December 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Does anybody out there believe in dragons or at any point in time have researched stuff about them?

Bendy Demon Posted December 11, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The term "dragon" was just a term people used to describe any large, unknown animal. The rest of dragon lore is just human fabrication and embellishments. In other words, 99.99% of it is just made up stuff to make ordinary animals seem something they are not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brlesq1 Posted December 11, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2016 What kind of dragon? Wyvern? Loong (Chinese)? Naga? Lindworm? Or just dragons in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podo Posted December 13, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Dragons from legends do not and have never existed. Komodo dragons are entirely real, and they're pretty neat, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, dragons are beings in energy forms which exist to serve the mankind. They are symbol of the descending spirit-souls, and have lots of roles and missions to fulfill. Dragons work under the control of the Government of Heaven. They have the collective consciousness, and at the same time have individuality. The dimensional spectrum of dragons are wide from 6th to 9th. The higher the dimension where dragons dwell is, the more evolved and the more powerful they are.

Old Man by the Sea Posted December 17, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2016 This reminds me of a guided meditation class I took once ( except the birdman tribe bit), I think the OP meant fire-breathing beasts that tear people apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan max2 Posted December 17, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It seems plausable that such a creature could of existed and then went extinct. A left over from prehistoric times. All cultures speak of them. Sadly no bones have ever been found though showing that they probably did not exsist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted December 31, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm basically with Podo on this one. Mythic dragons are not real. I think the Egyptian Crocodile is probably the precursor to the European dragon, since that form of dragon came out of the middle east with the ancient Hebrews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamescoolcrafter15 Posted January 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) It depends, do you mean wyverns, basilisks, tatzel worms, or dragons in general. Edited January 2, 2017 by jamescoolcrafter15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also which dragon do you mean? Actually, what Carnoferox said. We can discuss the tatzelwurm and its presentation in cryptozoology if you like though. But, as the term cryptozoologist has no official definition and as I doubt that, like me, you have any formal qualification in this area your defining yourself as a cryptozoologist isn't going to be to your advantage.

Descriptions vary on whether it has two or four legs. However, you will notice that the appearance is sometimes similar to a salamander. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the more BS people read, the less they desire to believe in it. ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
