Dragons are important mythical creatures in both Eastern and Western cultures. In the East, they symbolize good luck and power, while in the West, they frequently appear in adventure stories.
In Korean folktales and fairy tales, dragons are depicted as magnificent creatures that fly in the sky. They are mystical beings that bring rain and rule the sea.

Dragons hold vastly different appearances and meanings in Eastern and Western cultures. Eastern dragons, with their horns and scale-covered bodies, are considered divine beings, symbols of the emperor, and bringers of good fortune. They are frequently seen in palace decorations and paintings, particularly in Korea, China, and Japan.
Western dragons are typically depicted as dangerous monsters that knights must defeat. However, recent movies and games portray dragons in more diverse roles. In works like Harry Potter or those featuring dragon riders, there are many stories where dragons and humans become friends.
