A dragon is a legendary creature, typically depicted as a large and powerful serpent or other reptile, with magical or spiritual qualities. Mythological creatures possessing some or most of the characteristics typically associated with dragons are common throughout the world's cultures. The Chinese worship and view dragons as powerful protectors and they ward of evils. Meanwhile, in medieval symbolism, dragons were often symbolic of apostasy and treachery, but also of anger and envy, and eventually symbolized great calamity. Dragons with several heads were symbolic of decadence and oppression, and also of heresy. Dragons also served as symbols for independence, leadership and strength as evidenced by the many dragon icons found on flags, armors, shields, weapons, etc. For many, dragons still represent wisdom and good luck.
