Here there be dragons

On the Chinese calendar, there are 12 years, corresponding to 11 real animals and one "fantasy" animal. The dragon. Every culture seems to have a story of at least one dragon, usually being killed by some valiant person or ogre. Common things about dragons are:

  • It's very serpent like or lizard like
  • It has scales close together it is nearly impossible to pierce
  • It is quick, with menacing teeth
  • It can breathe fire

Wow. That does sound fantastic. I've seen that in movies. And yet, this sounds familiar. Remember Job 41:12-34?

Perhaps the creature is just extinct. Or hiding.
