There’s a strange phenomenon when it comes to dragon mythology, wherein vast and varied depictions of the four-legged winged beast appear in folklore, historical cultures, civilisations and artworks from entirely opposite corners of the world.
Mythical creatures are commonly created by local, cultural legends – which means that they usually remain landlocked within their region of near-euhemerisation. Some popular examples of regional, mythological creatures include Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest, The Loch Ness Monster, the Celtic Selkie, and The Red Dragon of Wales.
