The Dragon of the Eastern Culture

Dragons in the Eastern cultures are seen much differently than those in Western cultures. Eastern cultures see the dragon as gods and protectors. They are not viewed as evil and dangerous as they are in Western cultures. Instead, they are seen as gentle and bringers of good fortune. The bodies of these dragons are long and serpent like, and they typically do not have wings. Instead of breathing fire, Eastern dragons breathe clouds. They do not roar, but make the sounds of gongs and bells. As you can see, this is much different than the depiction of dragons in the West.
