"Dragon" is a regal and good name in Chinese / Korean cultures. 
Dragons are considered as dangerous as the Ocean, a Wind, or a 
Mountain ... in other words, respect it and your village can live in 
harmony with a dragon as a neighbour.

It is European folklore that feared and hunted Dragons, not Asian.

(I Role Play Hagrid in another group , so I did my homework on 
Dragons, plus several other Magical Creatures)

PS. Not everyone is complimented by being called a Dragon. Use 
sparingly ... lol.
