Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article has a lot of room for expansion. Please improve it with additional information in accordance with the Manual of Style |
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 Chinese dragon, which in contrast to its European "brethren", is wingless, more serpentine in nature than lacertilian, and seen as incredibly wise rather than destructive.
Mythology
In Norse mythology, the dragon Níðhǫggr was said to gnaw on the roots of Yggdrasil it lived between and only speak with the squirrel Ratatoskr, who reportedly would run along the tree between Níðhǫggr and the eagle at the top to convey gossip and other messages.[1] The dwarf Fafnir also turned into a dragon to covetously guard the cursed ring Andvaranaut and his mountain of gold,[2] until the hero Sigurd stabbed him from behind and killed him.[3]
Legacy and influence
During the 9th century, Eivor Varinsdottir met Erik Loyalskull, a proud member of Ragnar Lothbrok's Lost Drengir who carried the spear Fafnir's Fang, which was named for the slain dragon.[4]
During the early 18th century, pirate Alonzo Batilla bought the brig Dragon and collected a holy figurine of a Chinese dragon.[5] Later that same century, the Colonial Rite of the Templar Order regularly visited the Green Dragon Tavern in northern Boston.[6] Around the same time during the French Revolution, the Parisian Assassin Arno Dorian gathered a rifle named The Iron Dragon.[7]
In 19th century England, the Assassin twins Evie and Jacob Frye acquired the Flame Dragon and Jade Dragon cane-swords from their underworld contact Robert Topping, both of which had a figurine of a Chinese dragon on the handle.[8]
Animus mods
In 2020, while reliving Eivor's genetic memories through the Portable Animus HR-8.5, the Assassin Layla Hassan could modify the Animus interface and allow for a variety of skins to be applied to her horse:
| Image | Name | Description | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firedrake | A much larger member of the drake family, having grown enough to bear a rider upon it's back... if the rider can muster enough courage to try that is. | Reda's Shop / Dragon Knight Pack |
Layla could also modify the Animus to change the appearance of Eivor's raven Sýnin to look like a drakeling,[9] wyrmling,[10] an ice dragon called Nepja,[11] a dragon called Ormr,[12] or a dragon called Scales.[13] Layla later added a digital model of the shield Dragonguard for Eivor to use.[14]
