 * My feelings and thoughts about this dragon:** I find this dragon very interesting. I find this interesting because of it's myths. I liked how the dragons terrorized the villages, that was really interesting. It was also quite dramatic that they actually had to sacrifice someone just for the dragon!then to the rescue the woman's lover would come to the rescue and kill the dragons! I love the ending! Sadly though the ending didn't always end up that way.

Most African Dragons have wings and they have no legs. They are basically like fire-breathing snakes. African dragons usually a body like a snake and huge red wings.
