                           a tail. They have the ability to fly and breathe fire. They have long been associated with magic as well. They love gemstones
                           and have hoarde caches of jewels and other precious things. Knights have often been depicted as fighting and slaying dragons,
                           but there were also said to be great guardian dragons, protectors of the weak and bringers of good luck. Although many cultures
                           have viewed the dragon as a fearsome creature, associated with evil, in ancient China, it symbolized"courage, and the Emperor,
