What is there be dragons?
(Please excuse the length of this definition, but I enjoy being thorough.)
In the traditional sense, dragons were large reptilian creatures first thought of in the medieval time. (medieval in the eastern and western sense.) In western realsm, the dragon was a greedy, tyranical brute who ate damsels, demolished villages, and kept a huge treasure hoarde. Mostly portrayed as a generally lizard-like creature with many crests and horns, terribley sharp claws, large teeth, sometimes quills or fur, and almost always wings. (Different variants occured, such as the wingless two-legged Linwurm, and the scorpion-tailed wyvern.)They might've also had a lion's or dog's head.
In the eastern realms, dragons were beneficial and wise. They did of course keep their treasure hoardes, a dragon is nothing without his shinies. (They're very good eating.)They were snakelike, colourful, posessed deer-antlers, usually had a mane of fur or a crest of the stuff running down their back. They were awfully powerful beings, usually close to the gods, and lived in mountains, and sometimes in the ocean. I don't kinow much more...I'm pretty sure they could breathe scalding water instead of fire.
Nowadays, dragons are an icon. Anime' abuses them, fantasy novels use them, and D&D keeps them sacred. In DD, there are two main types of dragons, called true dragons(western variety).
Here's a list...
Metallic (Good) Dragons
Gold: Looks much like a cross between a western and eastern dragon, breathes
fire, very wise. (Wings look like large fins.)
Silver: Traditional western dragon, with tall fin. Breathes frost, serene and graceful. (My favourite.)
Brass: Again a traditional western dragon. has connecting its limbs to its body, aquatic. Breathes lightning, fascinated with war. (Still good, though.)
Brass: Traditional western, has the fin-like wings of the goldy. Breathes fire, LOVES to talk.
Copper: Traditional western, fin-like wings. Spits acid. Incorrigable prankster.
Chromatic (EVIL!) dragons. (note all of them are traditionaly western.)
Red: Lives to destroy, incredibley greedy (even for a dragon.) Breathes fire (obviously).
Blue: Vain, proud, would do anything to save its hide. Breathes lightning.
Green: Manipulator, honey-tongued, curious of other creatures. Very interesting breath weapon, it spits a cloud of corrosive vapour. (My favourite chromey.)
Black: Horrible temper, territorial, cruel. Spits acid.
White: Very STUPID. Breathes frost. (More of an animal than a higher being.)
Note that these dragons are intelligent (except thew white), and cast magic, speak, manipulate, conquer, what have you. Most of the above stuff is from DD..
"Look, Sir Thelonius is slaying the Lindwurm!"

There be dragons - definition
To dragonize something is to turn it into a dragon via folding, drawing, taping cardboard, etc. If you wanted to Dragonize a picture of a polar bear, you would draw spines, wings, horns, a tail, etc on it to make its appearance both medieval and frightening
Anything in the world can be dragonized, to dragonize your own dog, simply make a costume out of cardboard (color of you choice). and tie it with string.
"dude, i was so bored during Bio today, so i decided to dragonize the animals on that handout she gave us."
There be dragons - slang
New: Your dragon is your inner strength, and spirit. Its strong, and powerful. It flies the skies freely watching. It protects its self. It does not fear others in its way. Everyone has a dragon in them, it's just yours is either free or not. If your dragon is free you are a strong individual that doesn't scar easily or get put down with one shot. Its free and beautiful.
