Dragon Collectibles – Lakes Monsters?
Sep 20th, 2009 by admin
Gothic serpent, medieval beast, or snake-like, dragon sculpture very often depicts a large bodied scaly creature. That is unless the dragon figure is being slain by a Saint or some other Hero. Then the dragon is most often depicted as a much smaller beast. Find any painting or sculpture of Saint George and the dragon. I don’t think dragons get much smaller. Good thing there was no SPCA or PETA back then. Thanks to all the Saints, Knights, and Heroes all trying to make a name for themselves, we at Dragon Collectibles feel confident in saying that all the land dwelling dragons were wiped out long ago.
That begs the question, are there any dragons left in the world? Most of the oldest dragon myths have the dragon figure as the master of water. If that is the case, I would have to re-think some of our modern day myth and legends. The most enduring one that comes to my mind is the legend of Loch Ness. While Nessie is the most famous lake monster, it is not the only one. A couple of the more famous would be Champ who lives in Lake Champlain and Ogopogo residing in Lake Okanagan. There are hundreds of lakes around the world sais to harbor monsters.
From the descriptions given of these so called monsters, I say rubbish. These are not monsters, but our missing dragons. I can understand why these remaining water dragons keep a pretty low profile. Mankind after all, did wipe out their land dwelling cousins.
It really is a shame that humans find it so much easier to wipe out a species that perhaps finds our domesticated live stock easy pickings, rather than the slightly more difficult choice of living in harmony with nature and all its diversity.
