History of the Oriental Dragon
The oriental dragon is seen as being wise, intelligent and often magical. The
appearance of a dragon is described as having the head of camel, horns of stag, the eyes of a demon, ears of a cow, neck of a snake, belly of a clam, scales of a carp, claws of an eagle, and the paws of a tiger.
Some dragons were considered able to control natural elements such as weather and natural disasters. While most Chinese dragons were seen as being either good, some dragons were seen as evil or aggressive, and were sometimes blamed for natural disasters. It has been said that many of the great disasters in Chinese history have occurred when a mortal has offended a dragon, however most dragons were seen as protectors.
Wearing a dragon symbol, whether it is a charm, picture on clothes or whatever, it is considered good luck. Some dragons are pictured with a pearl under their chin or sometimes holding it in its claws, this is because it represents the 'Pearl of Wisdom' that many dragons are often seen as possessing.
In many cases the dragon is combined with the phoenix to symbolize long life and prosperity. It is also combined with the tiger to represent heaven and earth or Yin and Yang. They have the most recorded history in the world, especially in China and goes back thousands of years. In the history they are linked closely to the weather. It is said that some of the worst flooding in Asia's History was caused when a mortal upset a dragon.

Dragons
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.
