Most stories in which dragons appear seem to originate in places where crocodilians exist.

Food for thought.

Belief in dragons was independently developed in every culture. Also, Europe has no crocodilians.

Not everywhere.


And this is where it gets interesting, because dragon stories didn't really occur in, say, France or Britain, until after the Crusades. Where they came across stories like St. George, which sounds strikingly similar to an encounter with a croc.

Although... there is an interesting mythological archetype that seems to occur in several mythologies, involving storm gods fighting dragonlike beings.

>Thor vs. Jormungandr
>Marduk vs. Tiamat
>Susa-No-O vs. Yamata no Orochi
>Yahweh vs. Leviathan
>Michael vs. Satan
>Tarhunz vs. Illuyanka

Shit's wild, you guys.

nigger they are all serpents
that's like listing a bunch of rats as being 'chimp-like' instead of just listing chimps

I'm not sure why you're trying to clarify or dispute the semantics here.


No, I've been researching a ridiculous amount of dragon lore.
