All snake-like creatures were referred to as serpents in medieval times. The most powerful of the serpents was the Dragon. It was said to represent evil, and it could crush and suffocate any creature in its coils. The only enemy of the Dragon was the Ibis: although a Dragon would also run from the breath of a panther – which was said to be incredibly sweet – and run from the sight of a naked man!
Dragons would also drink the blood of elephants and could drain one dry. Dragons would apparently only fly at night, and “dragon’s water” dropping from the sky was blamed for causing diseases and plagues.
The Basilisk (made famous in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) was another powerful serpent, and was called the king of snakes. It was born from a rooster laying a shell-less yellow egg that was hatched by a toad. The Basilisk was said to have the head of a rooster, breath that could burn, and a hiss that could kill people.

Dragons are awsome creatures if they do drink blood then they are cool to me. I would like to have a dragon for a pet I would call it Thoron.
Dragons are awsome creatures they fly at night to eat prey they suck you dry and drink elephants blood.
