A '''Dragon''' is a mythological creature existing in many folklore and other mythologies.

They were often described and depicted as a reptilian species with scales, horns and having a type of magical fire breath. A unique type of dragon is the {{Wiki|Chinese dragon}} which is depicted differently.

==Mythology==
In [[Norse mythology]], the dragon [[Níðhǫggr]] was said to live between the roots of [[Yggdrasil]] and gnaw on them, only speaking with the [[squirrel]] [[Ratatosk|Ratatoskr]] who was said to run along the tree between Níðhǫggr and the eagle at the top to convey messages.<ref name="Ratatoskr">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Database: Ratatoskr]]</ref>
