DRAGONS
Dragons possess awesome physical powers including the ability to fly,
fire-breathing, alert shrewdness, and keen visions.  Dragons are guardians
of all kinds of treasures, but they generally do not pester humans unless
provoked.  If annoyed, they will torch villages and eat humans.  Oriental 
dragons are different than European dragons:  they do not fly, involve 
themselves obtrusively in thevaffairs of men and the cosmos.  They also are 
associated with water and air, mate mid-air, supervise various aspects
of human exist, such as the fertility of the land, music, literature, and 
function more like gods than wild beasts.
