The dragon's form varied from the earliest times. The Chaldean dragon Tiamat had four legs, as clay body, and wings, where as the biblical dragon of Revelation," the old serpent," was many-headed like the Greek Hydra. Because they not only possessed both protective and terror-inspiring qualities but also had decorative effigies, dragons were early used as warlike emblems. Thus, in the Iliad, King Agamemnon had on his shield a blue three-headed snake, just as the Norse warriors in later times painted dragons on their shields and carved dragons' head on the prows of their ships. In England before the Norman Conquest, the dragon was chief among the royal ensigns in war, having been instituted as such by Other Pendragon, father of King Arthur.
