A dragon is a legendary turtle-like creature with two sets of wings and four legs. Some people define the word as anything that has scales, claws, or can breathe fire or acid. So if you think about it, an alligator could be considered a dragon!
The first dragon was a Chinese emperor that supposedly lived over 5,000 years ago. You can read more about the first dragon here .

“Most of these names are chosen because they sound exotic and make a good story for the parents, but some have deeper meanings. One dragon has an interesting story behind her name.
A king in Valinor was dying and called for his son to be nursed by one of his daughters. The princess could not bear to see her father die. In his distress, she put poison in the king’s cup and drank it herself.”
1) Aigis (meaning Iron Face)
This dragon has no face (hence the name). “She is a good friend, although she doesn’t show up much. Her scales are hard to see because they are a cloud-gray, but if you look very hard you can see the dark outline of her face. She’s the most mysterious dragon.”

Aita is a fire-breather. He lives on “a volcano where his parents live. He is a guardian at the gates and is covered in red-yellow scales.”

This dragon is a hybrid between an elf and a dragon, which explains why he has pointy ears and why he can fly even though elves can’t. “He was born in the forest near Du Weldenvarden with his parents. He is a very affable dragon, a people-person.”
4) Banedon (meaning Fire-Dancer)
Banedon is “a dancer of fire. He has a slender body with red and orange scales. His name has something to do with the fact that he can start a fire in the palm of his hand and make it dance on his palm like a flame from a candle.”
5) Brisingr (meaning Flame)
This dragon lives in Du Weldenvarden with her parents. Her scales are glowing red, so you’ll be able to see her coming from far off. “She likes having adventures, but she gets into trouble sometimes for starting fires. She likes to cook, and she can make things appear out of thin air with a wave of her hand.”
6) Buan (meaning White)
Buan is “a white dragon that has light blue scales. He is normally very quiet, though when he gets excited, he hisses and spits fire much like a dragon would! He lives in the mountains near Du Weldenvarden and is all alone.”
7) Dain (meaning Flame-friend)
